Under KVKK

Personal data is processed in accordance with the processing conditions set out in Article 5 of KVKK, depending on the relevant processing activity, including where processing:

is necessary for the establishment or performance of a contract;
is necessary for the Company to fulfil a legal obligation;
is necessary for the establishment, exercise or protection of a legal right; or
is necessary for the legitimate interests of the Company, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not adversely affected.

For example, enquiries concerning products, quotations or potential business relationships may be processed in order to respond to your request and, where applicable, to take steps relating to the establishment of a contractual relationship.

Where a particular processing activity legally requires explicit consent, such consent will be requested separately and specifically for that activity.

Where GDPR Applies

Where GDPR applies, processing may be based, as applicable, on:

taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract or performing a contract;
compliance with a legal obligation; or
our legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries, communicating with existing and potential customers, operating our business and protecting the security of our website and systems.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5. Sharing and Transfer of Personal Data

Personal data may be shared, where necessary and proportionate to the relevant purpose, with service providers that support the operation of our website and business communications, including:

our website hosting and infrastructure service providers located in Türkiye;

authorised public institutions and authorities where disclosure is required by law.

Our WordPress website is hosted through infrastructure located in Türkiye.

Personal data is not sold to third parties.

International Transfers

The Company uses certain technology and communication service providers whose systems may process personal data outside Türkiye.

In particular, where personal data is processed through Brevo’s services, this may involve the transfer or processing of personal data outside Türkiye.

Such international transfers are subject to Article 9 of KVKK and the applicable legislation concerning the transfer of personal data abroad.

Where GDPR applies to the relevant processing activity, international transfers that fall within the scope of GDPR are also subject to the applicable GDPR requirements.

6. Retention of Personal Data

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for any additional period required by applicable legislation or necessary for the establishment, exercise or protection of legal rights.

In determining the appropriate retention period, we consider:

the nature and purpose of the relevant enquiry or communication;
whether a commercial or contractual relationship has subsequently arisen;
applicable statutory record-keeping obligations;
applicable limitation periods; and
information-security requirements.

Contact-form submissions and related correspondence are not retained for longer than is necessary for the relevant enquiry, subsequent business relationship or applicable legal obligations.

When personal data is no longer required, it is deleted, destroyed or anonymised in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
