Terms of Service — Plain-English Summary

Heads up. This page is a friendly, plain-English summary written to help you understand the rules of using ProductLog. The legally binding version is the Full Terms of Service. If anything here disagrees with the full version, the full version wins.

Who's behind ProductLog?

ProductLog is built and operated by Evren Bal (@evrenbal), an indie developer. There's no company — it's a personal project run by one human in Kocaeli, Türkiye. You can reach me at [email protected].

The basics

  • You need to be 16 or older to use the site.

  • Sign up with real, accurate info — no impersonation.

  • Be a decent person: no spam, harassment, illegal content, or trying to break the site.

  • You can delete your account anytime from /me/settings.

Your stuff is yours

The posts, comments, products, and content you share belong to you. By posting, you give me permission to display, store, and distribute that content on the platform — only what's needed to run the site. I don't claim ownership.

What I don't promise

ProductLog is provided "as is". I'm doing my best, but:

  • I don't guarantee zero bugs or zero downtime.

  • I don't guarantee your content stays available forever.

  • I won't be liable for anything beyond what the law absolutely requires.

If you depend on the site for something critical, don't. Treat it as a community tool, not infrastructure.

If something bad happens

I take security seriously and apply industry-standard measures (HTTPS, hashed passwords, ORM-protected queries, dependency audits). But no service is unhackable. If a security incident affects your data, I commit to:

  • Patching the issue as quickly as I can,

  • Notifying the relevant authority (KVKK Kurumu) within 72 hours, and

  • Telling you about it transparently.

In return, please keep your password strong and don't share it. (The site doesn't currently offer two-factor authentication.)

If we have trouble

Please email [email protected] first — I'd rather fix it than fight it. If we can't sort it out, the legally competent venue is Kocaeli courts and enforcement offices, Türkiye, and Turkish law applies.
