5. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR & KVKK)
Where the GDPR or KVKK applies, we process your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis, which may include:
- Your consent, which you may withdraw at any time;
- Performance of a contract with you, or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract;

- Service providers and processors who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, and security, under contractual confidentiality and data protection obligations;
- Advertising and analytics partners, where you have consented or as otherwise permitted by law (note that certain cookie-based sharing may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under U.S. law — see Section 11);
- Legal, regulatory, and government authorities, when required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or property;
- A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

- Deliver and measure relevant content and advertising (advertising cookies).
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings or, where available, our cookie banner or preference center. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the Site functions. Where required by law, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When data is no longer needed, we delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected.
9. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction. However, no system or transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. International Data Transfers
We may process and store personal data in countries other than your own, including outside Turkey, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or the United States. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection, such as relying on adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses, or other lawful transfer mechanisms, and, where required under the KVKK, obtaining your explicit consent or meeting the applicable transfer conditions.
11. Your Privacy Rights

12. How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of the rights above, contact us at info@turkai.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request where permitted by law. We will respond within the timeframes required by the applicable law.
13. Marketing Communications
Where we send marketing communications, we do so in accordance with applicable law and, where required, only with your consent. You may opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails or by contacting us at info@turkai.com. We may still send you non-promotional, service-related messages.
14. Automated Decision-Making
We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you based solely on automated processing without appropriate safeguards. If this changes, we will update this policy and provide any disclosures required by law.
15. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age required by applicable law (for example, under 16 in many jurisdictions, or under 13 in the United States). If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at info@turkai.com so we can delete it.
16. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that we do not control. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal data.
17. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no common industry standard for DNT, we may not respond to DNT signals. We do, however, honor recognized opt-out preference signals where required by applicable law (see Section 11.c).
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when it was last revised.
