Privacy Policy

This policy explains how the Karahan Tepe Research & Archive (operated by The Community Garden Foundation) handles information when you use karahantepe.net. We keep it short and plain.

What we collect

  • Email address — only if you choose to subscribe to our newsletter or request our free e-book.
  • Tour enquiries — the details you enter into our tour builder (dates, sites, group size, name, and any contact details you provide) when you send a request by email or WhatsApp.
  • Basic analytics — anonymous, aggregated data about how the site is used (pages visited, general location, device type), to help us improve it.

How we use it

We use your email only to send the content you asked for and occasional updates about new discoveries and tours. We use tour-enquiry details solely to respond to your request. We use analytics only in aggregate, to understand and improve the site. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Sharing

We share information only with the service providers that help us operate — for example, our email provider and analytics provider — and only as needed to deliver the service. Tour enquiries may be handled in coordination with our tour partners (including sanliurfatour.com) so we can answer you.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any message. You can ask us what data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by contacting us at the address below.

Cookies

We use only the cookies needed to run the site and to measure anonymous usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
