Your personal data and privacy

The correction form

The form takes your name, a way to contact you and the message itself, which names a provider, a fact and a link. We ask for nothing more, and you send it without an account.

Your name and contact detail never appear on the site; they are used only to ask you a question about your message.

Counting visits

Visits are counted by a small script that this site serves itself; it sets no cookie and builds no profile. A click on a contact button sends one record naming the kind of button, the provider and the activities it lists. Nothing in that record identifies you.

Your location

Unless you press the location button, your location is never requested. If you share it, it is held in your browser until the tab closes and used there to work out distances; it is not sent to this site or anywhere else.

A stop, school or neighbourhood you pick by name is remembered in your browser for your next visit.

The filter map is drawn from OpenStreetMap tiles. Your browser loads those tiles straight from OpenStreetMap’s servers once you open the map; as with any web request, those servers see your IP address and the map area you look at. The point you set on the map does not leave your browser.

Providers in the table, and your rights

The table holds only what providers publish openly: on their own sites, on municipal pages and in Google listings. If a provider is one person working alone, that person’s phone or address appears only when they published it themselves.

Two legal grounds apply. Under KVKK (Turkey’s Law No. 6698, the personal data law), Article 5(2)(d) covers data that the person concerned has made public. The second ground is legitimate interest, Article 5(2)(f), since parents look for these facts to set courses side by side and choose. For readers in the European Union the basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. No data is sold, and nobody is profiled.

Under Article 11 of KVKK, anyone named in the directory may learn which data about them we process, ask for a correction or for erasure, and object to the processing. Use the form to exercise these rights; we reply within thirty days. A complaint can also be taken to Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Authority.

Deleting your message

If you would like a message you sent to be deleted, fill in the form again naming the message; it will be removed within a month.
