1. Who We Are

Istanbul Aquarium Guide is an independent aquarium and visitor guide and affiliate publishing website based in Georgia. It is founded and operated by Badri Patarkacishvili. The website operator is Badri Patarkacishvili, 14 Alio Mirtskhulava St, T'bilisi, Georgia, 0119. Contact: [email protected].

2. What Data We Collect

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and message. Hosting services may process IP addresses and request logs to deliver and secure the site. Cookiebot records your consent choice. On the PHP-hosted website, a browser-session cookie named site_session supports site functionality.

3. Cookies

Cookiebot manages consent preferences. Optional GetYourGuide widgets load only after marketing consent. You can change your choice through Cookie settings in the footer. No Google analytics or advertising measurement tags are installed. See our Cookie Policy for details.

4. Affiliate Links

This site contains affiliate links and widgets from GetYourGuide. Clicking through to the provider, or enabling its widgets after consent, may allow it to process technical data and set cookies under its own privacy policy. We cannot access your booking account or payment details. Hosting, email and consent services may also process data to provide their functions, including in other countries, subject to applicable safeguards.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

Where applicable, including under GDPR or Turkish data-protection law, you may request access, correction or deletion and exercise other statutory data rights. Contact [email protected]. We handle requests within the time limits required by applicable law. You may also complain to the competent data-protection authority.

6. Data Retention

Email correspondence is retained for up to 12 months, unless a legal obligation or unresolved request requires longer retention. The site_session cookie lasts for the browser session. Consent records and technical logs follow the applicable service settings and legal requirements; Cookiebot’s declaration lists detected cookie durations.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. The last-updated date reflects revisions. Where a change requires fresh consent, continued use of the site does not replace that consent.
