What data we process, and why
- Reservation and quote form: your first name, last name, phone number, email address, date, time, number of guests, table preference and any notes you write. We use them to respond to your request and make your reservation (KVKK Art. 5(2)(c), establishing a contract). The form details are sent to our restaurant by email; the site does not store them in a separate database.
- Phone calls, WhatsApp and social media messages: the information you give us when you call or write to us (name, phone number, message content) is used to handle your reservation and answer your questions (KVKK Art. 5(2)(c), and Art. 5(2)(f), legitimate interest).
- Site usage measurement: we use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to measure which pages are visited and how fast the site loads. This measurement uses no cookies and does not identify you; we only see aggregate information such as country and device type.
- Site usage analysis (Google Analytics): if you click Accept on the cookie notice, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure which pages you view, your taps on the call and WhatsApp buttons and on the steps of the reservation form, where you came to the site from (such as Google Search, Instagram or an ad), your device type and your approximate location (city). Cookies whose names start with _ga and _ga_ are stored in your browser (KVKK Art. 5(1), explicit consent). The details you enter in the form, such as your name, phone number and email address, are never sent to Google Analytics. If you click Decline, these cookies are not set.
- Ad measurement: the Google Ads tag counts clicks on call and WhatsApp links as a reservation signal. If you click Accept on the cookie notice, Google measurement cookies are set (KVKK Art. 5(1), explicit consent); if you click Decline, no cookies are set and Google receives only a signal that contains no identifiers.
Who we share your data with
We never sell your data or pass it on to others for advertising. To run our service, we use these providers:
- Vercel Inc. (website hosting and usage measurement)
- Google LLC (email, site analytics, ad measurement, Google Maps)
- Meta Platforms (when you contact us via WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook)
These providers’ servers may be located outside Türkiye. We may also share data with public authorities when they are legally entitled to request it.
How long we keep it
We keep your reservation and contact details for no more than 1 year after your request has been completed. Records we are legally required to keep (such as invoices) are kept for the period set by the relevant legislation. When that period ends, the data is deleted or anonymised. Google keeps Google Analytics data for up to 14 months.
Cookies
- Strictly necessary (stored in your browser): your cookie preference and your light or dark theme choice. The site needs these to work, and they are not shared with anyone.
- Site analytics (Google Analytics): cookies whose names start with _ga and _ga_. They are set only with your consent and stay in your browser for up to 2 years.
- Ad measurement (Google): set only with your consent.
You can change your choice at any time. If you withdraw your consent, these cookies are deleted:
Kolcuoğlu Panel (our internal management tool)
Kolcuoğlu Panel is an internal tool our managers use to see, in one place, the statistics of our own Google Ads account, Google Analytics property, Google Business Profile, Facebook page, Instagram account and Meta ad account. It is not available to the public.
- When connected to a Google or Meta account, it only reads data: it displays ad results, profile statistics, reviews and messages. It never changes anything in any account and never sends messages.
- Access tokens are stored only on our business’s own computer. Messages and reviews you send us are shown on screen so that we can reply; they are not saved to disk and are kept only briefly in memory.
- This data is not shared with third parties, sold or used for advertising.
- Kolcuoğlu Panel’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
