1. Introduction

We respect the personal data of all individuals who visit our website at college.leventschools.org, make online purchases through our website, or communicate with us digitally (hereinafter referred to as the “User”).

Personal data that is recorded automatically or non-automatically during your visit to our website and shared with us electronically will primarily be used to fulfill your requests and to provide you with better service.

In addition, college.leventschools.org accepts and undertakes full responsibility for the protection and security of your personal data in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) published on this website.

2. Personal Data

In this Privacy Policy, “personal data” refers to any information or pieces of information that can identify you directly or indirectly. This typically includes your name, address, username, profile picture, email address, and phone number. It may also include other information such as your IP address and shopping habits.

2.1. Personal Data Collected

2.1.1. Automatically Collected Data

Like many websites, college.leventschools.org uses various data collection technologies (hereinafter referred to as “cookies”) to provide users with a better, faster, safer, and more functional experience.

In addition, for services such as shopping, communication, and commenting, certain information such as your name, surname, email address, and address may be requested from the User.

2.1.1.1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are transferred to your computer’s hard drive via your web browser by comprehensive websites in order to remember information such as visitor identity, preferences, and session details.

The type of information stored as a result of accepting a cookie is specific to your device and may include data such as your IP address, the date of your visit, which sections of the website you visited, and whether the requested web pages were successfully delivered to you.

This information is anonymous and relates to the device, not to the individual.

2.1.1.2. Can Cookies Be Blocked or Deleted?

Yes. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer or mobile device at any time without your explicit consent through your browser settings. You may also choose to accept only certain types of cookies or delete all existing cookies.

If you are unsure how to do this, there are many online resources available. However, please note that disabling or rejecting cookies may prevent certain interactive features and services on college.leventschools.org (and other websites) from functioning properly.

2.1.1.3. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Pages on college.leventschools.org may include embedded content (such as videos, images, etc.) from other websites like YouTube or Twitter.

Embedded content behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the original website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and include additional third-party tracking.

2.1.2. Data Provided by the User

When you make a purchase, leave a comment, or use the contact form, information such as your name, surname, email address, phone number, address, and IP address may be collected.

If your comment is approved, your name and surname will be publicly visible. The information you provide during purchases and through the contact form is only accessible by college.leventschools.org.

Your email address, which is required when submitting a comment or using the contact form, is stored by the system. An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you use it. If you do, your selected avatar (profile picture) will be publicly displayed alongside your comment. (Gravatar privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/)

To prevent spam and bot activity, users’ IP addresses are recorded when comments are submitted. Visitor comments may also be checked through an automated spam detection service.

2.2. Data Retention Period

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on college.leventschools.org (if applicable), personal data provided in the user profile is stored as long as the user account exists.

2.3. Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Data

If you have an account on college.leventschools.org or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we erase all personal data we hold about you.

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. However, we reserve the right to refuse requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or are otherwise excessively difficult.

3. Changes to This Privacy Policy

college.leventschools.org reserves the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy without prior notice in order to keep its privacy and data protection principles up to date and in compliance with applicable legislation.

If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, the updated version will be published on college.leventschools.org.
