What we process and why
Personal data is processed on this website only in the three situations below.
| Activity and data | Purpose | Legal basis (KVKK Art. 5(2); GDPR Art. 6(1)) |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiries Name, work email, company, subject, message and anything else you include | Replying to your enquiry, arranging a call if needed and following up | Steps prior to entering into a contract (KVKK c; GDPR b) and legitimate interests (KVKK f; GDPR f) |
| Form security IP address, browser and device information | Protecting the contact form against automated (bot) submissions and abuse | Legitimate interests (KVKK f; GDPR f) |
| Site traffic and security logs IP address, date and time, page requested, browser and device information, referring address | Keeping the site secure and available, preventing attacks, and aggregate visit statistics that do not identify anyone | Legitimate interests (KVKK f; GDPR f) |
We collect contact data directly from you through the form, email and phone, and traffic and security data automatically when you visit the site. The company field is optional. Please do not include special categories of data, such as health information, in your message.
We may also use this data to meet lawful requests from competent authorities and to protect our rights in a dispute (KVKK Art. 5(2)(ç) and (e); GDPR Art. 6(1)(c) and (f)).
Who we share data with
We share your data only for the purposes above, and only as far as necessary, with:
- Cloudflare (USA): website hosting, security and bot protection (Turnstile), cookieless visit statistics
- Microsoft (Microsoft 365): business email; your messages are stored in our mailboxes
- Brevo (France): delivering form submissions to us by email
- Competent public authorities: only where and to the extent required by law
Because these providers’ servers are outside Türkiye, your data is transferred abroad. Transfers are made in line with Article 9 of the KVKK and, for data from the EEA or the UK, with Chapter V of the GDPR.
How long we keep data
- Enquiries: 2 years after the enquiry is closed. If it leads to a business relationship, the retention periods set by applicable law apply.
- Form security and traffic logs: we do not keep these separately; Cloudflare holds them briefly for security and service delivery.
When the period ends, the data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
Your rights
Under Article 11 of the KVKK, you have the right to:
- learn whether your personal data is processed and, if so, request information about it
- learn the purpose of processing and whether the data is used accordingly
- know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom it is transferred
- ask for incomplete or inaccurate data to be corrected
- ask for it to be deleted or destroyed under the conditions of Article 7 of the KVKK
- ask for corrections, deletion or destruction to be notified to third parties who received the data
- object to a result against you that arises solely from automated analysis
- claim compensation if you suffer damage from unlawful processing
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have your rights under the GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability) and may lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country.
