The responsible body within the meaning of data protection laws is:
Sebahattin Enes Arslan (sole proprietorship)
Sonnenweg 16
89284 Pfaffenhofen a.d. Roth
Germany [Deutschland]
If you have any general questions or suggestions regarding data protection, you can contact us at any time using this contact information.
III) Anonymous data collection
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. We do not store any personal data in this context. To improve our services, we only evaluate statistical data that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally.
IV) DATA COLLECTION WHEN BOOKING AND TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD COUNTRIES
If you wish to make a booking, you will be required to provide certain personal information during the booking and check-in process. To process your booking, your personal data will be passed on to Ms. Nesrin Arslan, the owner and operator of Holiday Villa Alashato Alaçatı (Alacati Mahallesi 14005/1 No. 3, 35930 Çeşme/İzmir, Turkey [Türkiye]) in Turkey. This is done on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (b) GDPR, as the transfer is necessary to fulfill the accommodation contract. Please note that Turkey is not a safe third country within the meaning of the GDPR, and data protection regulations there may not meet European standards.
In Turkey, accommodation providers are also legally obligated to collect their guests' data and transmit it to the relevant local authorities (e.g., police, police force, etc.). This collection is carried out in accordance with legal regulations and serves, among other things, public safety.
Guests may therefore be required to complete and hand-sign a registration form on the day of arrival (check-in). This form typically contains the following information:
- Date of arrival and expected departure,
- Surname,
- First name,
- Birth date,
- Nationality,
- Address,
- Number, nationality of fellow travelers and their names etc.,
- Serial number of the recognized and valid passport or equivalent identity document for foreign guests (presentation may be required).
The collected data will be transmitted by the accommodation operator to the relevant Turkish authorities. Furthermore, the documents must be retained for a legally prescribed period in order to comply with official audits. Tax-relevant booking data will be archived in accordance with the statutory retention periods.
V) Log-Files
Our website's host provider may collect and store information in so-called server log files. This information is data transmitted by your browser without any further action on your part when you visit our website. This includes the following information:

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States or other third countries. To implement official data protection regulations when using Google Analytics, we use the "anonymize IP" function provided by Google.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where third parties process the data on Google’s behalf. Google will never associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

VIII) Privacy Policy for the use of Google Adsense
This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements from Google Inc. ("Google"). Google AdSense uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of website use. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on these pages. The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google may also pass this information on to Google's contractual partners. However, Google will not associate your IP address with other data stored by you.

IX) Use of Facebook plugins
This website uses plug-ins from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). When you visit a page on our website containing such a plug-in, a connection is established to the Facebook servers and the plug-in is displayed on the website by sending a message to your browser. This sends the Facebook server information about which of our websites you have visited. If you are logged in as a Facebook member, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. clicking the “Like” button, leaving a comment), this information is also assigned to your Facebook account. You can only prevent this from happening by logging out before using the plug-in.
If you do not want Facebook to directly assign the collected information to your Facebook profile, you must either log out of Facebook before visiting our page or use the add-on for your browser provided by Facebook: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/stop-facebook-tracking/. This allows you to block the loading of Facebook plugins. Further information on the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights in this regard, and options for protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook's privacy policy.
X) Collection, processing and use of personal data in connection with Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps, a map service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When you access a subpage that contains an interactive map of the service, various data, in particular your IP address and information about your visit to our website, are sent to a Google server and stored there. This server may be located in the USA or other countries. The transfer of your data to some of the countries concerned may be questionable under data protection law, as an adequate level of data protection is not always guaranteed. It is possible to deactivate Google Maps and prevent data transfer to Google: To do this, deactivate JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that this will make it impossible to use the map section and may impair other functions of our website.
XI) Embedded YouTube videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plug-ins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plug-in, a connection is established to YouTube servers. YouTube is informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand. When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior. Anyone who has deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program will not have to expect any such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block cookies in your browser. Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
XII) Google Adwords
Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords will place a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this purpose - for example, by setting your browser to generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com".
Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish to have measurement data recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
XIII) Google Remarketing
This website uses the remarketing feature of Google Inc. This feature is designed to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the website visitor's browser, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these pages, visitors may be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use the Google remarketing feature.
According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. If you do not wish to use Google's remarketing feature, you can generally deactivate it by configuring the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads . Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Advertising Network Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp .
XIV) References and links
In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites ('hyperlinks') that are outside the area of responsibility of Sebahattin Enes Arslan, liability would only come into force if Sebahattin Enes Arslan had knowledge of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the event of illegal content.
Sebahattin Enes Arslan hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were created, no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages. Sebahattin Enes Arslan has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked pages. He therefore expressly distances himself from all content on all linked pages that were changed after the links were created. This statement applies to all links and references set within his own website, as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists, and all other forms of databases set up by Sebahattin Enes Arslan to whose content external write access is possible. For illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content, and in particular for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information, the provider of the page to which reference was made is solely liable, not the party who merely refers to the respective publication via links.
XV) Data security
We protect our website and other systems through technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, alteration, or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. Despite regular checks, however, complete protection against all threats is not possible.
XVI) Changes to the Privacy Policy
Changes in the law or changes to our internal company processes may make it necessary to adapt this privacy policy.
In the event of such a change, we will notify you at least six weeks before the change takes effect here, above the heading "Privacy Policy." You generally have the right to revoke your consent (Section XVIII).
Please note that (unless you exercise your right of withdrawal) the current version of the privacy policy is the valid one.
XVII) Revocation
You have the right to revoke any consent you have given at any time with future effect.
XVIII) Information, correction, deletion, blocking
You have the right to request information about your personal data stored by us free of charge. If any data is incorrect, you have the right to have it corrected. You have the right to have it deleted or blocked at any time.
The stored personal data will be deleted if you revoke your consent to storage or if knowledge of this data is no longer necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was stored. However, deletion will only occur after the expiration of the retention periods stipulated by tax and commercial law.
XIX) Contact person for data protection
If you have any questions about the collection, processing or use of your personal data, or if you would like information, correction, blocking or deletion of data, please contact Sebahattin Enes Arslan (mail(at)alashato.com * )
