When arranging a tour, we may need information such as your travel dates, accommodation, group size, requested itinerary, meeting location, transportation requirements, and contact details.
This information is used only as reasonably necessary to organize and provide the requested services.
Where a service requires cooperation with another provider, such as a transportation company, relevant information may be shared with that provider when necessary to arrange the service.

Gate to Türkiye may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember certain preferences, understand website traffic, and improve website performance.
Cookies are small files stored on your device by your browser.
Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function correctly, while others may be used for analytics, performance measurement, or similar purposes.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted or anonymized.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
