3. Why we process it
- To receive, assess and answer your request
- To prepare offers and hold pre-contract discussions
- To keep a record of our correspondence
- To protect the form against spam and misuse
- To meet our legal obligations and protect our rights in a possible dispute
4. How we collect it and on what legal grounds
We collect your personal data electronically and automatically through the contact form on our website, on these legal grounds in KVKK Article 5(2):
- (c) It is directly related to entering into a contract: offers and pre-contract discussions
- (ç) Compliance with a legal obligation: lawful requests from authorised bodies
- (e) Establishing, exercising or protecting a right: possible disputes
- (f) Our legitimate interest, provided it doesn't harm your fundamental rights and freedoms: answering your request, keeping a record of correspondence and securing the form
Sending the form isn't consent to receive commercial electronic messages such as newsletters or campaign announcements. We'd ask for that separately.
5. Who receives your data
- Netlify, Inc. (USA), our website hosting and form provider, together with the sub-processors it uses to filter spam
- Our email service provider, so that your request reaches us
- Public authorities with legal power to request data, only when there is a lawful request
We don't sell your data or share it for advertising.
6. Transfer abroad
The form infrastructure runs on servers in the United States, so the data you send through the form is transferred abroad. This transfer is subject to the conditions and safeguards set out in KVKK Article 9. You can ask us which safeguard the transfer relies on through the channels in section 10.
7. How long we keep it
If your request doesn't lead to a business relationship, we keep your data for at most 2 years from our last correspondence, then delete, destroy or anonymise it. If it leads to a contract, we keep the data for the periods the law requires (for example 10 years under the Turkish Commercial Code and the Tax Procedure Law).
8. Cookies and browser storage
We don't use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies. The only thing we store is your choice when you pause the moving band on the home page, which stays in your browser's local storage. It contains no personal data, never reaches our server and you can clear it from your browser settings.
9. Your rights under KVKK Article 11

- learn whether your personal data is processed;
- request information about it if it is;
- learn the purpose of processing and whether the data is used for that purpose;
- know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom it is transferred;
- ask for incomplete or inaccurate data to be corrected;
- ask for deletion or destruction under the conditions in KVKK Article 7;
- ask for corrections, deletions and destructions to be notified to the third parties who received the data;
- object to a result against you that arises solely from automated analysis;
- claim compensation if you suffer damage because of unlawful processing.
