Collection, processing, and purpose of processing personal data

The personal data collected may vary depending on the employment, service, or commercial relationship with our Company. Such data may be collected verbally, in writing, or electronically, through automated or non-automated methods, via our Company's units and offices, group companies, website, social media channels, mobile applications, and similar means.

For the purposes of determining and implementing our Company's commercial and business strategies and ensuring the execution of our human-resources policies, personal data may be processed within the scope of the processing conditions and purposes set out in Articles 5 and 6 of Law No. 6698, and may be transferred to third-party customers to carry out the purposes described below.

In order to ensure security within the Company:

  • Ensuring the physical security of the workplace;
  • Controlling entry to and exit from Company premises, as required for the performance of customer contracts;
  • Assessing customer complaints, increasing customer satisfaction, understanding customer needs, and improving customer-related processes;
  • Evaluating service quality and training staff;
  • Establishing business relationships, conducting the service process, and issuing policies;
  • Following up and carrying out communication with official institutions;
  • Fulfilling legal obligations arising from employment contracts;
  • Informing data subjects about changes to contracts;
  • Conducting market research and organizing activities to build or increase loyalty to products and services;
  • Performing accounting transactions, including invoicing related to sales;
  • Planning, auditing, and carrying out information-security processes;
  • Responding to customer requests by email;
  • Processing manual and online payments, invoice cancellations, and refunds;
  • Registering customers in our systems and opening customer records;
  • Conducting customer visits, participating in customer meetings, and providing technical information to customers.

To whom and for what purposes personal data may be transferred

Within the scope of the purposes described above, your personal data may be transferred to: the Company's relevant units, departments, personnel, managers, shareholders, and board members; Company suppliers; legally authorized public institutions and private individuals; courts and enforcement offices; service-provider and IT companies engaged to ensure record security and document storage; Company customers and their officials with whom contact is required; insurance companies with which the Company has a legal relationship; telecommunications companies engaged for staff communication services; and banks, for the purposes of payment collection, invoice cancellation, and refunds — all within the framework of the processing conditions and purposes set out in Articles 8 and 9 of Law No. 6698.

Legal grounds and method of collecting personal data

Your personal data is obtained verbally, in card-system, written, or electronic form, to carry out the Company's business in line with the purposes described above and to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations accurately and completely. On the basis of the Company's legitimate interest in ensuring security, visual data may be obtained through cameras and audio recorders placed on Company premises. Data collected on this legal basis may be processed and transferred, by automated or non-automated means, for the purposes described in this notice, within the processing conditions and purposes set out in Articles 5 and 6 of Law No. 6698.

Retention period of personal data

Where a retention period for the data is set by law or applicable legislation, the data is kept for at least that period.

To account for the possibility that a court request or a request from an authorized administrative body relating to the data may reach us late, or that a dispute involving the Company may arise, the retention period may be extended by six months to one year beyond the period stipulated by legislation. At the end of this period, the data is deleted, destroyed, or anonymized.

Where legislation does not set a retention period, the data is stored for as long as required by the underlying relationship with you. After that relationship ends, or after the period specified in the applicable contract, your data will be deleted, destroyed, or anonymized without a separate request being necessary.

If you request deletion or destruction of data before a legally mandated retention period has elapsed, that request cannot be fulfilled during that period. Where no specific retention period is set by legislation, a request for deletion or destruction will be carried out on the first periodic destruction date, and in any event within six months.

Pursuant to Article 11 of Law No. 6698, regardless of whether you have given explicit consent, you may apply to our Company to exercise the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Objecting to a result reached against you based solely on automated analysis of your processed data;
  • Requesting compensation for damage arising from unlawful processing of your personal data.
