1. Who We Are

This is a personal website (https://oguzdoma.com) created and managed by Oguz Orkun Doma. The site is designed solely to showcase professional, academic, and creative work.

We do not allow user accounts, comments, form submissions, or e-commerce.

 

2. Your Data

This site uses HTTPS and is hosted in a secure EU-based data center. In this site, there are:

  • No contact forms
  • No login or registration
  • No comments or forums
  • No newsletters or marketing tools

While no visitor-related personal data (IP address, user agent, etc.) is collected or retained by the site owner, certain technical data may still be processed automatically. Such data may include IP addresses, browser and device information, timestamps, page URLs and referrer data. These are processed to maintain site security, performance and stability.

 

3. Third-Party Services

The following services are used to enhance the functionality and performance of this site:

3.1. Visitor Analytics

We use Jetpack Stats by Automattic –the owner company of WordPress.com– for visitor analytics. This service may process IP addresses (in anonymised or truncated form), browser and device type, page views and referrer URLs. Logs containing IP addresses are retained by Automattic for a limited period (approximately 28 days) before being aggregated. No advertising or user-profile tracking is used.

3.2. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos) or load external resources (e.g., Google Fonts). When you view that content, the external provider’s terms apply. They may collect or process data, set cookies or track interactions if you are logged in to their service.

3.3. Security Tools

A security plugin called WordFence is used to ensure the site’s security. WordFence may process visitor IP addresses, access times, visited URLs, and browser information to defend against suspicious activity, known attack patterns, and other potential threats to the website and its visitors. This data is processed solely for the purposes of threat detection and site security.

WordFence is provided by Defiant Inc., a U.S.-based company, and may use servers located outside the European Union. In such cases, standard contractual clauses for international data transfers apply.

4. Cookies

This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies under its own control.
However:

  • Security tools (e.g., Wordfence) may set cookies essential for their operation.

  • Embedded third-party content may set cookies depending on the provider’s policies.

For full control, it is advised to manage your cookie preferences in your browser settings.

 

5. GDPR/UK GDPR Notes

This is a purely informational site.

Processing of technical data (such as those described above) is carried out on the basis of legitimate interests (to maintain security, reliability and performance). Where data transfer occurs to services outside the UK/EU, recognised safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses are in place.
Visitors have the right to request access, correction or deletion of personal data, restrict or object to processing. For questions or requests, contact the site owner.
