This privacy policy explains how Efes Kebab collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our site. We take your privacy seriously and handle your data in line with UK data protection law.
Scope of this notice
This policy applies to information gathered through our website. It covers what reaches us directly when you contact us, and what we observe about your visit — pages viewed, time spent, the device and browser you use. We are the data controller for the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Categories of information we collect
When you write to us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. Our web server logs record technical details: your IP address, the pages you request, referral source and browser type. We do not ask for payment details, account credentials or sensitive personal data. The site does not require registration.
Cookies and similar technologies may be placed by us or by third-party services embedded in the site — analytics platforms, for example. You can read more about cookies in our cookie policy.
Lawful basis for processing
We process your data under legitimate interests: running an information site about Turkish kebab and takeaway food, answering questions from readers, and understanding how the site is used so we can improve it. Where you contact us, we rely on your consent — implied by the act of writing — and on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries.
Who else sees your information
We do not sell or rent your personal data. Processors acting on our behalf — web hosting providers, email services and analytics platforms — may handle your information under contract. Some of these may store data outside the United Kingdom; where they do, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place under UK data protection standards.
We may disclose information if required by law, court order or regulatory authority, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.
Your rights and how to exercise them
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, ask for deletion in certain circumstances, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and request restriction or portability of your data. To exercise any of these rights, write to us at the address given in the contact section below. We will respond within one month.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. Visit ico.org.uk for details.
How long we keep your data
We retain contact correspondence for up to two years from the date of your last message, then delete it unless there is an ongoing reason to keep it — an unresolved query, for example. Server logs are kept for up to 12 months for security and diagnostic purposes, then overwritten. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised; individual visits are not tied to identifiable people beyond the retention period of the tool in use.
Children and young people
This site is a general information resource and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we hold data about a child, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. The revised version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

Disclaimer: This is an information site for general purposes only. We do not sell any goods or services through this platform.
