Privacy Policy

We want you to understand how and why Techno Airlines collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our websites and services.

What We Collect

We collect the information you provide to us directly when you use the Services. This includes:

  • Account information: To create an account, you must provide an email, username, and password. Your username is public and does not have to be related to your real name. We also store your account preferences and settings. This is for editors only.
  • Content You Submit: We collect the content you submit to the Services — including posts, comments, saved drafts, messages with other users, and reports or communications with moderators. Your content may include text, links, images, gifs, soundtracks, and videos.
  • Actions You Take: We collect information about the actions you take when using the Services, including interactions with content (voting, saving, hiding, reporting) and other users (following, friending, blocking), as well as your subscriptions or moderator status.
  • Other information: You may choose to provide additional information directly to us — for example, when you fill out a contact form or advertising request.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you access or use our Services, we may automatically collect information about you. This includes:

  • Log and Usage Data: We may log your IP address, user-agent string, browser type, operating system, referral URLs, device information, pages visited, links clicked, and search terms. Except for the IP address used to create your account, Techno Airlines will delete any IP addresses collected after 90 days.
  • Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies: We may receive information from cookies — pieces of data your browser stores and sends back to us. We use this to improve your experience, understand user activity, personalize content and advertisements, and improve the quality of our Services.
  • Location Information: We may receive and process information about your location. With your consent, we may collect specific location data from your mobile device. We may also derive approximate location from your IP address.

Information Collected from Other Sources

We may receive information about you from other users and third parties, and combine it with the other information we have about you. For example, we may receive demographic or interest information from advertisers and combine it with our own data.

  • Linked Services: If you authorize third-party apps or websites to access your Techno Airlines account, Techno Airlines receives information about your use of that service.
  • Information from Integrations: We may receive information, including log and usage data and cookie information, from third-party websites that integrate our Services, including our embeds, buttons, and advertising technology.

How We Use Information About You

We use information about you to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Services
  • Research and develop new services
  • Help protect the safety of Techno Airlines and our users, including blocking suspected spammers, addressing abuse, and enforcing our policies
  • Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and other support and administrative messages
  • Provide customer service
  • Communicate with you about products, services, offers, promotions, and events
  • Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services
  • Personalize the Services and provide advertisements, content, and features that match user profiles or interests

How Information About You is Shared

When you use the Services, certain information may be shared with other users and the public. Please note that even when you delete your account, the posts, comments, and messages you submitted through the Services may still be viewable or available on our servers.

We do not share, sell, or give away your personal information to third parties unless one of the following circumstances applies:

  • With Linked Services: If you link your account with a third-party service, Techno Airlines will share the information you authorize with that service.
  • With Partners: We may share information with vendors and consultants who need access to carry out work for us. Their use of personal data is subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
  • Compliance With The Law: We may share information in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is required by any applicable law, regulation, or governmental request.
  • Emergency: We may share information if we believe it is necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm to a person.
  • Enforce Policies and Rights: We may share information if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our policies or to protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and others.
  • Affiliates: We may share information between Techno Airlines and any of our parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and ownership.
  • Consent: We may share information about you with your consent or at your direction.
  • Aggregated or De-identified Information: We may share information about you that has been aggregated or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

Ads and Analytics Partners

We may partner with third-party advertisers, ad networks, and analytics providers to deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests and to better understand your use of the Services.

Advertisers and Ad Networks

Our ad partners and ad networks may use cookies and related technologies to collect information when ads are delivered to you on our Services. Techno Airlines does not link to or provide them with your actual Techno Airlines account details. This means Techno Airlines does not share your individual account browsing habits with advertisers.

Analytics

We use analytics partners (such as Google Analytics) to help analyze usage and traffic for our Services. As an example, we may use analytics partners to analyze and measure, in the aggregate, the number of unique visitors to our Services.

Your Choices

Accessing and Changing Your Information

You can access and change certain information about your account through the Services.

Deleting Your Account

You may delete your account information at any time. When you delete your account, your profile is no longer visible to other users and is disassociated from content you posted under that account. We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes after you delete your account.

Controlling Linked Services’ Access to Your Account

You can review the services you have linked to your account and revoke access to individual services.

Controlling The Use of Cookies

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject first and third-party cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our Services.

Controlling Advertising and Analytics

Some analytics providers we partner with may provide specific opt-out mechanisms. We also offer you choices about receiving personalized advertisements — you can adjust how we personalize advertisements for you by visiting your ads preferences.

Do Not Track

Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a website should respond to this signal, and we do not take any action in response to this signal.

Controlling Promotional Communications

You may opt out of receiving some or all categories of promotional communications from us by following the instructions in those communications or by updating your email options in your account preferences. If you opt out of promotional communications, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as information about your account.

Information Security

We take measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, we use HTTPS while information is being transmitted. We also enforce technical and administrative access controls to limit which of our employees have access to non-public personal information.

Data Retention

We store the information we collect for as long as it is necessary for the purpose(s) for which we originally collected it. We may retain certain information for legitimate business purposes or as required by law.

International Data Transfers

We are based in Turkey but we process and store information on servers located in Germany. We may store information on servers in other countries depending on the locations of our users and service providers. By accessing or using the Services, you consent to the processing, transfer, and storage of information in and to Germany and other countries.

Additional Information For EEA Users

Users in the European Economic Area have the right to request access to, rectification of, or erasure of their personal data; to data portability in certain circumstances; to request restriction of processing; to object to processing; and to withdraw consent for processing where they have previously provided consent. EEA users also have the right to lodge a complaint with their local supervisory authority.

We collect and process information about individuals in the EEA only where we have legal bases for doing so, including: your consent, the need to provide you with the Services, a legitimate interest not overridden by your data protection interests, or a legal obligation.

Data Subject and Consumer Information Requests

Requests for a copy of the information Techno Airlines has about your account — including EU GDPR data subject access requests and CCPA consumer information requests — can be submitted via our contact us form.

All other data subject and consumer requests under data protection laws should be sent to info@technoairlines.com from the email address verified with your Techno Airlines account.

Children

Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to create an account or otherwise use the Services. Additionally, if you are in the EEA, you must be over the age required by the laws of your country to create an account or otherwise use the Services.

Changes to This Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will let you know by revising the date at the top of the policy. If we make a material change, we will provide you with additional notice. By continuing to use our Services after Privacy Policy changes go into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised policy.
