Data Protection
This page explains what information Host Rehberi handles when you read the site or write to us, and what rights you have over it. In brief, we keep data to a minimum, nothing on the site follows you around, and no information is passed on for advertising.
Who is responsible
Host Rehberi is run by a small editorial team. For any question about this page or about your data, write to reach@hostrehberi.com. That address reaches the people who run the site.
A static site without tracking
Every page on this site is a plain, pre-built file. There are no user accounts, no comment system, no shopping basket and no login. We do not use analytics software, advertising networks, social media plug-ins or tracking pixels, and no third party follows your visit across other websites through us.
The cookie banner choice
When you first visit, a small notice asks you to accept or decline. Whichever button you press, your browser saves that choice in its local storage so the notice does not come back on every page. This entry stays on your own device; it is not sent to us and contains nothing that identifies you. You can delete it at any time by clearing site data in your browser settings. More detail is on our note on cookies.
Server logs
Like any website, this one is delivered by a hosting provider whose servers keep short technical logs of requests. A log entry typically includes the IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the browser type and whether the request succeeded. These logs exist to deliver pages, keep the service secure and investigate faults. They are kept only for a limited period by the provider, we do not combine them with any other data, and we do not use them to build profiles of visitors. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure and working website.
When you email us
An email to us brings with it your address, any name you sign with and the contents of your message. We use this only to read and answer your message and, if you report a mistake, to correct the article. Nobody who writes to us is signed up for newsletters, because we do not send any. Messages are deleted once the conversation is finished and there is no reason to keep them, unless we need them to deal with a legal claim. The contact form on our site does not store anything; it simply opens your own email program.
Your rights under the GDPR
If data protection law such as the GDPR applies to you, you have the right to:
- find out which personal details we keep about you and get a copy of them;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- have your data deleted where we no longer need it;
- ask us to pause or stop a particular use of your details;
- take the data you supplied with you in a common, machine-readable format;
- complain to the data protection authority where you live or work.
A short email to the address above is all it takes to exercise any of these rights. We will reply as soon as we can and within the time the law allows.
Links to other websites
Several of our guides point to pages run by other people. Once you leave this site, the other website's own privacy rules apply, and we have no control over what it collects.
Changes to this page
If the way the site works changes, for example if we ever add a feature that handles personal data, we will update this page first. Last updated: October 2026.
