1. Operator

DevMapTalya is a free tool of the DevAntalya community and is operated by:

2. Privacy notice

This notice is given by the company above as data controller under Turkish Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK).

2.1 Data we process

• Server logs: the web server records the IP address, date and time, requested path, HTTP status code and browser user agent of each request, for technical security and fault diagnosis. These logs are not used for marketing or profiling.
• What you send us: the name, contact details and message you provide when you write to us by email or WhatsApp.

The shape you draw is not sent to our server. It is kept in the part of the link after the "#" sign in the address bar, and browsers do not transmit that part to the server. If you share the link, the recipient sees the shape.

2.2 Outside services your browser connects to directly

The following requests leave your browser directly, not through our server. We neither see nor store what these services receive.

The servers of these services may be located outside Turkey. If you do not want this transfer, please do not use the tool; opening this page alone does not contact them.

2.3 Location feature

If you press "My location", your browser asks for your permission. Your position is used inside your browser only to move the map there; it is not sent to us and not stored. Because the map then shows that area, the matching map tiles are requested from OpenStreetMap as described in 2.2.

2.4 Cookies and local storage

This site sets no cookies and uses neither localStorage nor sessionStorage. That is why no consent banner is shown.

2.5 Purposes and legal grounds

• Server logs: to keep the site secure and available, based on the legitimate interest of the controller (KVKK art. 5/2-f).
• Contact content: to answer your request (KVKK art. 5/2-c and art. 5/2-f).

2.6 Transfers and retention

Your personal data is not sold, not shared for marketing and not passed to advertising networks. Legally authorised public authorities may receive information on request within the applicable legislation. Server logs are kept only as long as the technical security need requires. Correspondence is kept until the request is resolved and any statutory limitation period has passed, and is then deleted or anonymised.

2.7 Your rights (KVKK art. 11)

By applying to the data controller you may learn whether your personal data is processed, request information about it, learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used accordingly, know the third parties in Turkey or abroad to whom it is transferred, request correction of incomplete or incorrect data, request erasure or destruction under the conditions of KVKK art. 7 and the notification of these operations to third parties, object to an adverse result produced solely by automated analysis, and claim compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.

Send your request in writing to the address above or by email to contact@tangelo.com.tr. Requests are answered within thirty days at the latest.

3. Terms of use

• Results are estimates. The area is calculated from a shape drawn by hand; weather, climate and elevation values describe grid cells several kilometres wide. The results do not replace a survey, a land registry or cadastre entry, zoning information or an engineering calculation, and must not be used as such.
• The solar estimate is rough. Tilt, direction, shade, panel type and layout are not considered. Take expert advice before an investment decision.
• No warranty. The tool is provided "as is". No warranty is given as to accuracy, uninterrupted availability or fitness for a particular purpose. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all risk arising from use lies with the user and the operator is not liable for indirect damage.
• Dependence on outside services. Map and weather data come from free services of third parties. They can slow down, be limited or stop without notice.
• Fair use. Do not use the tool for automated bulk queries or to download map tiles in bulk.
• Governing law. These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Turkey. The English and German texts are provided for convenience; the Turkish text prevails.

4. Data sources and licences

• Map: © OpenStreetMap contributors. The map data is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL); the map images are served by the OpenStreetMap Foundation. If you spot a mistake on the map, you can report it to OpenStreetMap.
• Weather, climate and elevation data: Weather data by Open-Meteo.com, under the CC BY 4.0 licence. On this site the values have been turned into monthly and yearly averages. Open-Meteo lists its own sources on its licence page; reanalysis and elevation data come from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).
