Privacy Policy
Valrun (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy describes the information we collect on https://valrun.xyz, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website only — not to banks, insurers, or other sites we link to.
Who we are
Valrun is an independent editorial site about banking and household credit in Turkey. We are not a lender. Contact: [email protected] or the contact page.
Information we collect
Information you send us
If you use the contact form or email us, we receive the name, email address, topic, and message you provide. We use that only to respond and, if needed, to keep a short record of the request.
Log files
Like most websites, our host may record technical data such as IP address, browser type, date and time, referring/exit pages, and request status. We use logs to run the site, fix errors, and prevent abuse. Logs are not combined with your name. Typical retention is about 30 days unless we must keep a record for security or law.
Cookies, pixels, and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and — if you allow it — to measure traffic and show advertising. See the Cookie Policy for categories and how to change your choice.
Google Analytics
If you accept non-essential cookies, we load Google Analytics (measurement ID G-NK9W00D13K) to see aggregate page views. Analytics stays off until you accept.
How we use information
- Publish and improve guides, navigation, and site performance
- Respond to questions, corrections, and privacy requests
- Keep the site secure and reduce spam or abuse
- Show advertising and understand aggregate traffic, as described below
Advertising and Google
We use Google AdSense and related Google advertising products to display ads. Third parties, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons, IP addresses, and similar identifiers to collect information as a result of ads serving on this site.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also learn how Google uses data on partner sites here: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
We do not sell your name or email to advertisers. We do not send Google information that we know is your real name or email through the ad tag.
Third-party links
Articles may link to lenders, government sites, or other publishers. Their privacy practices are their own. Read those policies before you submit an application or share personal data.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child sent us personal data, email [email protected] and we will delete it.
Your choices and rights
You can refuse non-essential cookies in our cookie bar or in your browser settings. Depending on where you live (for example under KVKK in Turkey, GDPR if you are in the EEA/UK, or other applicable privacy laws), you may request access to or deletion of personal information we hold about you. Email us to make a request. We may need to verify the request. We keep legally required records even if we delete a message copy.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information in transit and at rest. No website can guarantee absolute security.
Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after a posting means you accept the revised policy.
