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 public user accounts, comments, form submissions, or e-commerce.
2. Your Data
This site uses HTTPS and is hosted in a secure EU-based data centre. On this site, there are:
- No contact forms
- No public login or registration
- No comments or forums
- No newsletters or marketing tools
The site owner does not use this website to collect visitor-submitted personal data. However, limited technical data may still be processed automatically by the website, hosting provider, security tools, analytics tools, or embedded third-party services. Such data may include IP addresses, browser and device information, timestamps, page URLs, and referrer data. These are processed to maintain site security, performance, analytics, and stability.
3. Third-Party Services
The following services are used to support the functionality, security, and performance of this site:
3.1. Visitor Analytics
We use Jetpack Stats by Automattic – the company behind 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 may be retained by Automattic for a limited period before being aggregated. No advertising or behavioural user-profile tracking is used by this website.
3.2. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content, such as YouTube videos, or load external resources, such as Google Fonts. When you view that content, the external provider’s terms and privacy policies apply. They may collect or process data, set cookies, or track interactions, especially if you are logged in to their service.
3.3. Security Tools
A security plugin called Wordfence is used to help protect the site. 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 threat detection and site security.
Wordfence is provided by Defiant Inc., a U.S.-based company, and may use servers located outside the United Kingdom or European Union. In such cases, recognised safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses may apply.
4. Cookies
This website does not use advertising or behavioural tracking cookies under its own control.
However:
- Security tools, such as Wordfence, may set cookies required for their operation.
- Embedded third-party content may set cookies depending on the provider’s policies.
You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings.
5. GDPR/UK GDPR Notes
This is a purely informational site.
Processing of technical data, as described above, is carried out on the basis of legitimate interests: maintaining security, reliability, analytics, and performance. Where data transfer occurs to services outside the UK/EU, recognised safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses may apply.
Visitors may have the right to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data, and to restrict or object to processing. For questions or requests, contact the site owner.
6. Changes to This Policy
This privacy statement may be updated to reflect changes in tools, hosting, or regulations. The most recent version will always be available on this page.
