Terms of Service – Istanbul Hotspots Guide
Welcome to Istanbul Hotspots. By using our site you agree to follow these simple rules. They protect you, us, and the content we share about Istanbul’s nightlife, restaurants, and attractions. If something isn’t clear, read on or contact us for help.
Your Responsibilities
When you browse or comment, you promise to be honest and respectful. No hate speech, spam, or illegal requests are allowed. If you share photos, make sure you own the rights or have permission. Misleading reviews or false claims can be removed without notice.
We expect you to keep your account details safe. Use a strong password and don’t share it with anyone. If you notice suspicious activity, let us know right away so we can secure your profile.
How We Use Your Information
We collect basic data like email, name, and browsing habits to improve your experience. This includes showing you relevant articles about Istanbul bars, clubs, and family activities. We never sell your personal info to third parties.
Cookies help us remember your language preference and saved lists of favorite spots. You can clear cookies anytime in your browser settings, but some features may stop working.
We may share aggregated, non‑identifiable data with partners for research or marketing. That data never reveals who you are.
All user‑generated content stays on the site unless you ask us to remove it. If you delete an account, we’ll delete most of your data within 30 days, but some records may stay for legal reasons.
We reserve the right to update these terms whenever needed. Major changes will be posted prominently, and we’ll give you at least 30 days to review them. Continuing to use the site after the update means you accept the new terms.
If you break the rules, we can suspend or terminate your account without refund. We’ll also remove any offending content immediately.
These terms do not affect any separate agreements you have with third‑party venues or services mentioned on the site. Always check the venue’s own policies before booking.
By staying on Istanbul Hotspots you’re agreeing to keep the community safe, honest, and fun for everyone who wants to explore Istanbul’s best spots.
