Privacy
What follows is not a long legal text. It says what the site takes from you and what it leaves alone.
Who I am
I am Doğan Can YILDIZ and this site is my portfolio. If you have a question about this notice, use the contact form or the email address in the footer.
What stays in your browser
This site uses no cookies. The only thing kept in your browser is the theme you picked, and that is a localStorage entry rather than a cookie: it never reaches the server, and it is read only to show you the same theme the next time you open the page.
Visit counts
Visits are counted by Umami on my own server. Umami sets no cookie and stores no IP address: a unique visitor is counted through a hash derived from a salt that changes every day and is worthless the day after, so nobody is identified as a person. What is collected: page views, country and city, device, the source that brought you here, and a few interaction events (CV download, form submission, WhatsApp click, outbound link click, theme and language change). There is no cookie and no personal data in it, so this counting runs without asking for consent.
The WhatsApp link on this site opens a chat inside WhatsApp, which Meta runs. A message sent that way travels through Meta rather than through my own server, and Meta's own terms cover it. Email and the contact form stay available if you would rather not use it.
Contact form
When you submit the form, your name, your email address, the topic you picked and your message reach me as an email through my own mail server. I use them to write back, and I neither sell them nor pass them on. To limit abuse (rate limiting), the sender's IP address is kept in the server log for a short while and removed by log rotation; your message body and your email address are never written to that log. The IP address of a visitor who is only reading the site is not logged by the application at all.
Cloudflare
The site is served from behind Cloudflare, so every request passes through their network first. Cloudflare keeps its own edge logs of those requests and its own terms cover them; I hold no copy of those logs.
