“Your privacy is critically important to us. At Caffeinetolerance, we have a few fundamental principles:
- We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our services.
- We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
- We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what information is shared publicly, indexed by search engines, and permanently deleted.
- We help protect you from overreaching government demands for your personal information.
- We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.
Below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates and clarifies these principles.”
Who We Are and What This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect about you when you use Caffeinetolerance.com.
We are an independent platform focused on digital content and community. Our mission is to share insights and projects with transparency and integrity. This Privacy Policy covers all the services we provide through our website.
Please note that this policy does not apply to any third-party services or websites you may access through our links; they have their own privacy practices which we do not control.
This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect about you when you use:
- Our website: caffeinetolerance.com;
- Any other products, services, or features we may offer through our website (for example, newsletter subscriptions or community forums).
Throughout this Privacy Policy, we’ll refer to our website and other services collectively as “Services.”
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party products or services (like YouTube, social media platforms, or external links) that may be integrated into or linked from our Services. Those third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to read them.
Note: Parts of this Privacy Policy were adopted from Automattic
under a Creative Commons Sharealike license. We appreciate their contribution to the open web.
Information We Collect
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so—for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better. We collect this information from two sources: if and when you provide information to us and automatically through operating our Services.
Information You Provide to Us
It’s probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us directly. Here are some examples:
Public Profile Information: If you create a profile on our site, we collect the information you provide for that profile, such as a photo or an “About Me” description. Please remember that this information is public.
Basic Account Information: If you sign up for a newsletter or create an account on Caffeinetolerance.com, we ask for basic information such as your email address and a username.
Content Information: You might provide us with information about you in published content, such as a comment you leave on a blog post or any media/files you voluntarily upload.
Communications with Us: When you communicate with us via a contact form, email, or otherwise, we store a copy of our communications to help us address your inquiries.
Information We Collect Automatically
We also collect some information automatically to understand how people use our site and to keep things running smoothly:
Information from Cookies & Other Technologies: A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer. We use cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of our website, and their access preferences. You can always set your browser to refuse cookies, but some features of our site may not function properly without them.
Log Information: Like most website operators, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available. This includes the browser type, IP address, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
Location Information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We use this to understand which geographic regions our visitors are coming from.
Usage Information: We collect information about your interactions with our website, such as page views and links clicked. This helps us understand what content is most interesting to our community.
Information We Collect from Other Sources
We may also get information about you from other sources, depending on how you interact with our website:
- Third-Party Login: If you log in to our website through another service (like Google or social media), we may receive associated login information (e.g., your username and email address) via that service’s authorization procedures.
- Social Sharing Services: If you choose to connect your interaction on our site with social media services (for example, by sharing our content), we may receive basic profile information from those services as permitted by your privacy settings there.
The information we receive depends on which services you authorize and what options are available on those platforms.
How and Why We Use Information
We use the information we collect about you for the purposes listed below:
To communicate with you: For example, by emailing you to share updates, ask for feedback, or keep you up to date on Caffeinetolerance. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time.
To provide our Services: For example, to set up and maintain your account, provide customer service, and verify user information.
To ensure quality and improve our Services: By monitoring and analyzing how users interact with our website, we can create new features or content that we think our community will enjoy.
To protect our Services and the public: For example, by detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious or illegal activity, fighting spam, and complying with our legal obligations.
To fix problems: By monitoring, debugging, and repairing issues to ensure the website runs smoothly.
To customize the user experience: To personalize your experience by recommending content or posts that may interest you.
Legal Bases for Collecting and Using Information
A note for those in the European Union (and elsewhere) about our legal grounds for processing information about you under data protection laws:
Consent: You have given us your consent—for example, before we place certain cookies on your device, as described in our Cookie Policy.
Contractual Necessity: The use is necessary to fulfill our commitments to you under our Terms of Service—for example, to provide access to our website or manage your account.
Legal Obligation: The use is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (such as responding to a valid legal request for information).
Vital Interests: The use is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
Legitimate Interests: We have a legitimate interest in using your information to provide and update our Services; to improve our website so that we can offer you an even better experience; to safeguard our Services; to communicate with you; and to personalize your experience.
Sharing Information
We do not sell our users’ private personal information. We share information about you in limited circumstances, and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy:
Published Support Requests: If you send us a request for assistance (for example, via email), we reserve the right to publish that request (without your personal identifiers) in order to clarify or respond to your request or to help support other users.
Third-Party Vendors: We may share information about you with third-party vendors who need the information to provide their services to us. This includes analytics providers (like Google Analytics) and email delivery services if you subscribe to our newsletter. We require these vendors to agree to privacy commitments in order to share information with them.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements: We may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
To Protect Rights, Property, and Others: We may disclose information about you when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Caffeinetolerance, third parties, or the public at large.
With Your Consent: We may share and disclose information with your consent or at your direction. For example, if you choose to share our content through social media services.
Aggregated or De-identified Information: We may share information that has been aggregated or de-identified, so that it can no longer reasonably be used to identify you. For instance, we may publish aggregate statistics about the use of our website.
Information Shared Publicly
Information that you choose to make public is—you guessed it—disclosed publicly.
That means information like your public profile, blog posts, comments, and “Likes” are available to others. For example:
- Public Profile: If you have an account, your username and any “About Me” information or photo you provide will be visible to others.
- Comments: When you leave a comment on our website, it is public, along with your username and (depending on your settings) your profile picture.
- Search Engines: Public information may also be indexed by search engines (like Google) or used by third parties.
Please keep all of this in mind when deciding what you would like to share publicly.
How Long We Keep Information
We generally discard information about you when it’s no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect and use it—and we’re not legally required to keep it.
- Server Logs: We keep web server logs that record basic information about visitors (like IP address, browser type, and operating system) for approximately 30 days. We retain this information to analyze traffic and investigate technical issues if something goes wrong.
- Deleted Content: If you delete a comment or other content you’ve posted, it may remain in our database or backups for a short period (typically 30 days) before being permanently purged. This allows for recovery in case of accidental deletion.
- Account Information: We keep your basic account information (like email address) for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services.
Security
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so. We monitor our website for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
To enhance the security of your account, we encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and, if available, enable advanced security settings like Two-Step Authentication.
Choices
You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:
- Limit the Information You Provide: You can choose not to provide optional account or profile information. Please keep in mind that if you do not provide this information, certain features of our website may not be accessible.
- Opt Out of Marketing Communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from us at any time. Just follow the “unsubscribe” instructions in those emails. Even if you opt out, we may still send you important updates regarding your account or legal notices.
- Set Your Browser to Reject Cookies: You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject cookies before using our website. Please note that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
- Close Your Account: While we’d be sad to see you go, you can close your account if you no longer wish to use our Services. Please keep in mind that we may continue to retain some of your information after closing your account if it is reasonably needed to comply with legal obligations or for our legitimate interests.

Bu bölüm Automattic’in Amerika’daki (özellikle Kaliforniya – CCPA) ağır hukuk kurallarına uyum sağlamak için yazdığı, teknik terimlerle dolu bir “can simidi”. Ama senin için durum çok daha basit: Sen bir reklam ağı işletmiyorsun, veri ticareti yapmıyorsun ve kimseden “ırk, din, veteranlık” gibi hassas bilgiler toplamıyorsun.
Burayı senin bağımsız duruşuna uygun, “Vatandaş haklarını biliyorum, sizi de koruyorum” kıvamına getirelim:

Under some state laws, this could be considered “sharing” or “selling.” You can control this by adjusting your browser’s cookie settings or by using a “Do Not Track” signal.
How to Exercise Your Rights
You can usually access, correct, or delete your personal data using your account settings. If you’re unable to do so, or if you’d like to exercise any of your other rights, please see the “How to Reach Us” section below.
Verification of Identity:
When you contact us, we need to verify that you are the right person before we disclose or delete any information.

You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, though we may still require identity verification.
Requests and Appeals:
In some circumstances, we may deny a request (for example, if we cannot verify your identity or if we are legally required to keep certain data). If we deny your request, we will explain why in writing.
If you disagree with our decision, you can appeal by responding to our email. We will review your appeal and get back to you with a final decision. In some jurisdictions (like certain US states), if you believe our final decision is in conflict with your legal rights, you may have the right to refer the matter to your state’s attorney general.
