  • Technical data: minimum server and access logs required for the site to run securely

  • Fulfilling legal obligations arising from applicable legislation

5. Legal Basis (KVKK Art. 5)

Responding to your request and the pre-contractual process rely on the legal bases of being directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract (Art. 5/2-c) and the legitimate interest of the data controller (Art. 5/2-f). Legal obligations rely on express provision in law and the fulfilment of a legal obligation (Art. 5/2-a, 5/2-ç).

6. Transfer of Personal Data

Your data is transferred only to the extent necessary to deliver the service, in accordance with KVKK Art. 8 and 9. Because the servers of our hosting (Vercel), contact-form (Web3Forms) and email (Google Workspace) providers are located abroad, your form and contact data are transferred abroad; such transfer is carried out in accordance with the conditions of KVKK Art. 9. Data may also be shared with authorised public institutions where required by law.

7. Method of Collection

Your personal data is collected electronically, through the website contact form and email, by fully or partly automated means.
