2. Data, purposes and legal grounds
| Data | Purpose | Legal ground |
|---|---|---|
| Identity: first and last name | Replying to your message and contacting you about your request | Legitimate interest of the data controller, provided it does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms (KVKK Art. 5/2-f); where your request concerns a service or an offer, the establishment of a contract (KVKK Art. 5/2-c) |
| Contact: email address | ||

Please do not include special categories of personal data, such as health information, in your message. Your data is not used for marketing and is not sold.
3. Method of collection
Your data is collected electronically and by partly automated means, when you fill in the contact form and when you visit the site.
4. Transfers
Your data is transferred only to the following service providers, so that the service can be delivered:
- Netlify, Inc. (USA): hosting of the site and delivery of form messages.
- Google LLC (USA): the email service that receives the messages (Gmail).
Because these providers' servers are outside Türkiye, your data is transferred abroad. This transfer relies on the explicit consent you give on the form, under Article 9 of the KVKK. The destination country may not offer the same level of protection as the KVKK. If you prefer not to give consent, you can reach us directly by phone.
Your data may be shared with competent public authorities where the law requires it; otherwise it is not transferred to third parties.
5. Retention
Form messages are kept for no more than one year after your request is concluded and are then deleted. Where legislation requires a longer period, that period applies.
6. Your rights
Under Article 11 of the KVKK, you may apply to the data controller to:
- learn whether your personal data is processed,
- request information about the processing,
- learn the purpose of the processing and whether the data is used accordingly,
- know the third parties, in Türkiye or abroad, to whom the data is transferred,
- request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data,
- request deletion or destruction under the conditions in Article 7 of the KVKK,
- request that correction, deletion and destruction be notified to third parties who received the data,
- object to a result against you that arises from analysis of the data solely by automated systems,
- claim compensation if you suffer damage because of unlawful processing.
You may withdraw your explicit consent at any time.
7. How to apply
Send your request, with information confirming your identity, in writing to the address above or from the email address you previously gave us to socialservicesdigital@gmail.com. We will conclude it free of charge as soon as possible and within thirty days at the latest, depending on the nature of the request.
