What data we collect

We collect the information you provide through our contact and newsletter forms - typically your name, email address, phone number and message - so that we can respond to your enquiry and provide our services. If you consent, we also collect anonymous usage data through analytics cookies.

How we use your data

We use your contact details solely to answer your enquiries, arrange viewings and provide the services you request. We do not sell your personal data. Aggregated, anonymous analytics data helps us understand how the site is used and improve it.

Cookies

Essential cookies are needed for the site to function. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) are only set after you accept them in our cookie banner. You can decline, and you can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser storage. Our map previews do not contact Google until you click to load them.

Third parties

We use Google Analytics (analytics, only with your consent), Google Maps (loaded only when you click a map), and WhatsApp (if you choose to message us). These providers process data under their own privacy policies.

Your rights

Under GDPR and KVKK you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, email contact@bosphorusbrokers.com and we will respond within the legal time frame.

Data retention

We keep enquiry data only as long as necessary to serve you and to meet our legal obligations, after which it is deleted.
