This website does not use advertising, analytics, retargeting or social media tracking tools and does not set cookies for these purposes. That is why we do not show a cookie consent banner.
The site is served through Cloudflare as its security layer. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies (e.g. __cf_bm) to tell malicious traffic apart. These cookies are not used to identify or track you and expire automatically within a few hours. Bot verification on our forms uses Cloudflare Turnstile, which sends browser and device information to Cloudflare for the check.
While you fill in the scholarship application form, your answers are kept only in your browser's local storage (localStorage) so that you can continue where you left off; they do not reach us. Health information is never written to the draft. The draft is deleted when you submit the application, when you press "Clear the draft on this device", or after 7 days at the latest.
Fonts are served from our own server; no requests are sent to services such as Google Fonts during your visit. The OpenStreetMap map on the contact page does not load until you press "Show map"; when you do, your IP address is shared with the OpenStreetMap Foundation (United Kingdom). The "Get directions" link takes you to Google Maps, where Google's own privacy rules apply.
When donating online by card, your card details never reach our servers; they are entered directly on Garanti BBVA's 3D Secure payment page. The order number is generated with a signature to verify the transaction; no cookies are used for this purpose.
The Privacy Notice (KVKK) explains in detail why and on what legal basis your personal data is processed, who it is shared with, and your rights.
