Last updated: October 5, 2026

This policy governs the use of original content, branding and other intellectual property published on recepemreercetin.com (the “Site”).

Unless a specific item states otherwise, Site content is owned by or lawfully licensed to Recep Emre Erçetin and may be protected by copyright, database-right, trademark, design, unfair-competition and other intellectual-property laws in the jurisdictions where those rights apply.

1. Protected material

Protected material may include:

  • articles, essays, research, commentary and written analysis;
  • original frameworks, diagrams, illustrations and infographics;
  • portfolio material, case studies and project descriptions;
  • interface designs, visual systems and presentation materials;
  • photographs and media where rights are owned or licensed;
  • original downloadable resources, guides and e-books;
  • code examples, scripts or technical material where no separate licence is stated;
  • original databases, compilations, page structures and editorial arrangements where legally protected;
  • names, logos, marks and brand identifiers.

Third-party trademarks, logos, screenshots, quotations and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners and are used only to the extent permitted by law, licence or the relevant rights holder.

2. Ownership and reservation of rights

Public availability does not place Site content in the public domain and does not grant an unrestricted licence.

Except for uses expressly permitted by this policy, a separate licence, or applicable law, all rights are reserved.

No licence is granted by implication, estoppel or mere technical accessibility for commercial republication, systematic extraction, dataset creation, AI training, fine-tuning, resale or other restricted use.

3. Ordinary reference, linking and quotation

You may:

  • read and use publicly available Site content for ordinary personal or professional reference;
  • share a normal hyperlink to a public Site page;
  • make a limited quotation, criticism, review, research use or other use to the extent independently permitted by applicable law;
  • use separately licensed material according to the licence that accompanies it.

Where attribution is legally or contextually appropriate, identify the author and source accurately. Do not imply endorsement, sponsorship or collaboration that does not exist.

4. Uses requiring prior written permission

Unless a separate licence expressly permits the use, prior written permission is required for:

  • substantial reproduction or republication of Site content;
  • commercial reuse, syndication, resale or white-labelling;
  • bulk copying, mirroring or bulk republication;
  • systematic scraping or extraction for a restricted downstream use;
  • creating, enriching or redistributing a dataset from substantial Site content;
  • using protected Site content to train or fine-tune an artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model where the use is not independently permitted by mandatory law;
  • reproducing original visual systems, infographics, templates or downloadable resources beyond a lawful limited reference;
  • removing or falsifying authorship, copyright, source or rights-management information;
  • presenting Site content as your own;
  • using protected brand assets in a way that suggests affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement.

Permission requests can be sent to [email protected].

5. Automated access, scraping and dataset creation

Automated access is not automatically authorised merely because a page is publicly reachable.

Without prior written permission, you may not use bots, crawlers, scripts, browser automation or similar systems to systematically copy, harvest, reconstruct or republish substantial portions of the Site for commercial reuse, dataset creation, AI model training, fine-tuning, competing content services or other uses that require permission.

To the extent these rules form part of an enforceable agreement between you and the Site operator, they are contractual restrictions in addition to any rights available under intellectual-property, database, computer-misuse or other applicable law.

Conventional search-engine crawling used to provide ordinary search discovery is treated differently from permission for AI training, dataset creation, bulk republication or commercial extraction.

Technical controls, robots directives and machine-readable rights reservations may be used in addition to this policy. The absence of a technical block does not by itself grant a licence.

6. Artificial intelligence and machine learning

No affirmative licence is granted to use protected Site content for training or fine-tuning generative AI, foundation models or other machine-learning systems without prior written permission.

This reservation applies whether content is obtained directly from the Site or through an intermediary archive, dataset or scraping service, subject always to rights and exceptions that applicable law makes mandatory or otherwise independently available.

No part of this policy is intended to falsely eliminate a statutory exception that cannot lawfully be waived.

7. United Kingdom-specific copyright position

Where UK law applies, the Site’s rights are subject to the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and other applicable UK intellectual-property law.

Nothing in this policy is intended to prevent fair dealing, quotation, criticism, review, news reporting, accessibility uses, or a qualifying text-and-data-analysis exception where the statutory conditions are actually satisfied.

A statutory exception is not expanded merely because content is technically accessible. Uses outside the scope of an applicable exception remain subject to the rights holder’s permission where required.

8. United States-specific copyright position

Where U.S. law applies, Site content may be protected under the U.S. Copyright Act and related federal or state law.

Nothing in this policy is intended to eliminate fair use or another non-waivable statutory right. Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on the facts and applicable law; the fact that content is public or technologically accessible does not by itself resolve that question.

The Site’s prohibition on unauthorised commercial republication, bulk extraction, dataset creation or AI training is therefore stated as a rights reservation and, where enforceable, a contractual restriction; it is not a claim that every conceivable automated or AI-related use is automatically copyright infringement under U.S. law.

9. Downloads and separately licensed material

A downloadable file may contain its own licence or usage terms. Where it does, those specific terms control for that file.

A free download is not automatically public-domain material and does not automatically grant permission for resale, redistribution, dataset inclusion, model training or fine-tuning.

10. Code and technical examples

Code snippets or technical examples may be provided for explanation. Unless a separate open-source or other licence is expressly attached, no broader licence should be inferred beyond the use permitted by applicable law and these terms.

Before using code in production, you are responsible for reviewing security, suitability, dependencies, third-party licences, compatibility and regulatory requirements.

11. User-submitted comments and material

If the Site allows comments or other public submissions, you retain ownership of content you lawfully own.

By submitting content for public display, you grant the Site operator a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, format, display and moderate that content only as reasonably necessary to operate, archive, secure and moderate the relevant Site feature.

You must not submit material that infringes another person’s copyright, trademark, privacy, confidentiality or other legal rights.

Repeated or serious infringement may result in removal of content or restriction of Site access where appropriate.

12. Trademark and brand use

Names, logos and brand identifiers associated with Recep Emre Erçetin may be protected by trademark, passing-off, unfair-competition or related law.

No right is granted to use them as part of another product, service, domain name, social account, advertisement or branding system unless expressly authorised.

Truthful nominative reference may be made where permitted by law, provided the use does not falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation.

13. Copyright and rights complaints

If you believe material on the Site infringes rights you own, send a notice to [email protected] containing enough information to identify:

  • the protected work or right;
  • the material you believe is infringing or otherwise unlawful;
  • the relevant URL or location;
  • your contact information;
  • the basis of your claim;
  • a statement that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorised to act for the relevant rights holder.

For a U.S. copyright complaint intended to satisfy the notice requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) where that procedure is legally applicable, the notice should also include the elements required by that provision, including a physical or electronic signature, a good-faith statement concerning lack of authorisation, and the required statement concerning accuracy and authority under penalty of perjury.

This contact process does not represent that the Site operator is necessarily a U.S. service provider entitled to DMCA safe-harbour protection, or that the email address above is a Copyright Office-registered designated agent. Any formal DMCA designation, if applicable in the future, would be identified separately.

Knowingly false or abusive rights claims may have legal consequences.

14. Takedown, restoration and moderation

A credible rights complaint may result in investigation, temporary restriction or removal of material while the issue is reviewed.

Where hosted user content is removed and a legally applicable counter-notice or restoration process exists, the affected user may be informed of the available procedure to the extent required by law.

Removal of content for risk-management or moderation purposes does not constitute an admission that infringement occurred.

15. No transfer of ownership

Access to the Site, newsletter subscription, account creation, commenting, or receipt of a free resource does not transfer ownership of the Site’s intellectual property.

Any licence must be interpreted according to the express terms under which it is granted.

16. Enforcement and no waiver

Unauthorised use may result in technical blocking, removal requests, account restrictions, contractual enforcement or legal action where appropriate.

Failure to enforce a right immediately does not waive that right.

Nothing in this policy limits a defence, exception or user right that cannot lawfully be restricted.
