Travel Companion

Travel Companion records include account IDs, routes, times, seats, declared expenses, vehicle and meeting details, participation status, messages, blocks and review records. They support matching, participation management, security and support investigations. Public listings exclude personal contact details. Vehicle and meeting information is shared with accepted participants; each conversation is available only to the relevant passenger, driver and authorised reviewing administrators. Completion is a driver declaration, not a payment or reward record. Existing personal data rights contact details remain applicable.

BBC contribution rewards and reply payments

An eligible published customer review may earn the contribution reward stated at first submission once, regardless of rating. Rewarded reviews are disclosed to readers; withdrawal or editing creates no second reward. Earned amounts are retained in financial/audit history. Administrators may change reward and fee amounts; new terms do not alter earned credits or established monthly budgets.

When enabled, companies may choose available platform BBC reward balance instead of TRY to pay a reply fee. Reserved withdrawals cannot be spent. The BBC fee is independent of the TRY price and is not calculated using a market rate. It earns no new BBC reward and does not transfer node coins. A successful reply is charged once; errors and repeated submissions do not create another charge. This option does not collect rental or tour payments in BBC.

Service reviews and company ratings

Customers with an approved service can request publication of a 1–5 star rating and review. Records include the service relationship, account, company, rating, text, first submission month and moderation history. Only eligible published reviews contribute to public ratings. An anonymous account label and review number replace the customer’s name/contact/address; do not include personal data in the review text. Moderation reasons are visible only to the customer and administrator. Reviews may be edited or withdrawn; the text is removed when an administrator deletes the account.

The monthly company award is calculated once using the snapshot of eligible published reviews at administrator approval. The decision, review IDs, rating totals, counts and credits are retained for audit/financial history; later changes do not recalculate a closed award. A reward-ledger entry is not an on-chain transfer. Concerns and correction requests can be submitted through support.

Account security and private address

Member and company accounts are asked for a full name, country of residence and full address to complete account contact information and help reduce misuse. No identity number or identity document image is collected. These details are self-reported; official identity or residence verification is not performed. The private address is separate from the company service address and is not published or shared with other members or companies. The address is encrypted in the database and can be updated in the account profile. Authorized technical access must be restricted to necessary, lawful operations.

Email verification uses a single-use link sent through the configured SMTP provider and confirms mailbox access only. Links expire after 30 minutes; only a token hash is stored in the database. Expired records are cleaned during subsequent web requests, and resend limit records after one day. The private address is retained while the account is in use and this private account record is deleted when an administrator deletes the account. Backup retention, erasure schedules and other legal retention duties are managed separately by the operator. Requests for deletion or correction can be made through the contact channel. This notice is neither consent nor an identity verification certificate.

Information needed for the service

The platform connects customers with car rental companies through quotes. Account details, company applications, vehicle details, requests, replies and wallet transactions are recorded to provide the service. Please share only necessary information and keep your contact details accurate.

Visibility of your request

Your request is not published as a public listing. Matching companies initially see its location, dates and vehicle class. Your contact details are disclosed to the relevant company after a successful paid reply. A guest tracking link contains a private access key; share it only with people you trust.

Account and transaction security

Passwords are stored as one-way hashes; roles and record ownership are checked. Administrator sessions are separate from company and customer sessions. Form security tokens, login attempt limits and audit records are used. Choose a strong password that you do not use elsewhere, and sign out on shared devices.

Payments and external services

Wallet top-ups use bank transfers verified and approved by an administrator. This version does not collect card numbers or card security codes, and the platform does not collect rental payments. You make bank transfers through your own bank. External source links in the guides open other websites, whose own privacy practices apply.

Location, language and cookies

The request location is the province, district and neighbourhood you choose; your device's precise location is not collected automatically. The website opens in Turkish by default. Visitors can select English, and this preference is stored in the server session. Language selection does not automatically redirect using IP location or browser language and does not query an external location service. IP location used for the home page slideshow is explained separately below.

Optional Google AdSense advertising depends on your separate advertising choice. No external visitor analytics service is used. Local records used for sessions and remembering the cookie notice are explained in the Cookie Policy explained in.

Application and changes

Detailed basis and means of application for your personal data rights KVKK in lighting text your requests for privacy info@turkiyearackiralama.com . This notice and the related information must be updated if processing purposes or service providers change.

Visiting counter and approximate location

The today/total counter counts sessions using a daily one-way identifier derived from the current server session; it does not claim to count individual people. It stores neither raw IP addresses nor device fingerprints. Daily identifiers are deleted after a window of no more than 48 hours; daily totals containing no personal data are retained.

If IP location is enabled to select home page slides by country and city, the direct connection IP address is sent to ipwho.is over HTTPS. Names, email addresses and account information are not sent. The estimated country and province are kept in the server session for no more than six hours; this is not precise physical location. The provider may process data abroad: the provider's privacy terms. Administrators can disable IP location in the site settings. Random cities are shown if location is unavailable. This location feature is not used to create advertising profiles.

Optional advertising

Google AdSense advertising may appear in guide placements enabled by management. Google ad code is not loaded before you accept advertising. Google may process IP addresses, device/browser information, cookies and ad interactions for delivery, security and measurement. Processing may take place outside Türkiye. Membership, quote and contact form fields are not sent to the advertising code.

Use “Advertising and cookie preferences” at the bottom of the page to accept or decline. The tak_ad_consent_v1 local record stores only this choice and its 180-day expiry. Declining does not prevent use of the site. Withdrawal stops new ad loading; cookies previously placed by Google can be removed separately in your browser settings. “Understood” in the information notice is not advertising consent. You can also make choices in Google’s separate consent messages.

Google data use on partner sites

Appearance preferences

Your chosen accessibility and appearance options are stored in this browser under tak_display_preferences_v1. No account information, page content or identity is stored in this record, and these appearance choices are not sent to the server. Reset appearance in the menu or clear your browser site data to remove them. Your language choice is kept separately in the server session.

Travel map and service rewards

Map choices are saved to your account; no precise location or GPS record is collected. Service reports, linked requests/offers, company confirmation, review notes and BBC reward/transfer history are kept to verify services and prevent duplicate rewards. Reports are visible only to the account holder, the relevant rental company and authorized admins; no public travel profile is created. A province marker or visit declaration does not verify a service.

The tab-session entry tak_discovery_visit prevents repeated province suggestions during the same visit; it contains no account, location or payment information. The server-session suggestion is renewed on a new visit after 30 minutes of inactivity.

BBC Wallet and support records

Your personal node address, last-read address activity and withdrawal requests are shown only to you and authorized admins. Node private keys are not transferred to this web application. The service reward ledger is separate from deposited BBC. Your current account password is verified for withdrawals and is not stored again. Support subjects, messages, authors and timestamps are kept to track issues and are not shared with other members. Support reply notifications appear in your account panel.

Restaurant applications

Business name, contact person, email, business phone, location, address, cuisine and description are processed to review the application and contact you. The contact person, email and internal review notes are not public. Only business information with a publication request and administrator approval appears in city guides and search. Use the contact channel in this notice for corrections, removal and personal data rights requests.
