With Whom and For Which Purposes Is Your Personal Data Shared.

The sharing of personal data with third parties is carried out with the consent of the relevant persons pursuant to Articles 8 and 9 of the Law, and as a rule personal data is not transferred to third parties without the consent of the relevant person. However, the Law provides for certain circumstances in which personal data may be shared without seeking the consent of the relevant person.

In this context, pursuant to our obligations arising from legislation, your personal data is shared with judicial authorities and other public institutions and organisations where requested. Personal data may be transferred to our contracted suppliers, our legal advisers and our affiliates for the purposes of providing our products and services in the best possible way, fulfilling our obligations arising from contract and legislation, monitoring and auditing the services provided, resolving legal disputes, carrying out finance and accounting operations, ensuring the security of our website and mobile applications and of your personal data, and creating a superior shopping experience.

By Which Methods Is Your Personal Data Collected.

Your personal data is collected and stored orally, in writing or electronically, through various channels such as our corporate website, our mobile site, or e-mail, SMS or other means; information you convey to us at the stage of signing commercial contracts and/or during the course of a commercial relationship; technical communication files known as “cookies” (small files placed on your hard drive) which allow our servers to recognise you automatically while you visit our website; and physical forms — by wholly or partly automated means, or by various non-automated means provided that they form part of a data recording system.

On Which Legal Grounds Is Your Personal Data Processed.

As a rule, your explicit consent is required for your personal data to be processed. Explicit consent may be defined as the relevant person permitting a transaction to be carried out on a specific and clear matter after being correctly informed about it. However, Article 5/2 of the Law sets out the circumstances in which data may be processed without explicit consent. Where at least one of these circumstances exists, data processing activities may be carried out without seeking the consent of the relevant person. Your personal data referred to above is processed on the following legal grounds set out in Article 5/2 of the Law:

  1. 1.It is expressly provided for by law,
  2. 2.It is mandatory in order for the data controller to fulfil its legal obligation,
  3. 3.Provided that it does not harm the fundamental rights and freedoms of the relevant person, processing of data is mandatory for the legitimate interests of the data controller,
  4. 4.Processing of personal data belonging to the parties to a contract is necessary, provided that it is directly related to the establishment or performance of that contract,
  5. 5.Data processing is mandatory for the establishment, exercise or protection of a right.

What Rights Do Data Subjects Have Under the Law.

Pursuant to Article 11 of the Law, data subjects have the right to:

  1. 1.Learn whether their personal data is processed,
  2. 2.Request information if their personal data has been processed,
  3. 3.Learn the purpose of processing of the personal data and whether it is used in accordance with its purpose,
  4. 4.Know the third parties to whom personal data is transferred, domestically or abroad,
  5. 5.Request correction of personal data that has been processed incompletely or inaccurately, and request that the action taken in this regard be notified to the third parties to whom the personal data has been transferred,
  6. 6.Request the erasure or destruction of personal data where the reasons requiring its processing have ceased to exist, even though it has been processed in accordance with the Law and other relevant legislation, and request that the action taken in this regard be notified to the third parties to whom the personal data has been transferred,
  7. 7.Object to a result arising against the person themselves through the analysis of the processed data exclusively by automated systems,
  8. 8.Claim compensation for damage arising from unlawful processing of personal data.

You may send your request concerning the rights set out above to our e-mail address given below, using your registered electronic mail (KEP) address, with a secure electronic signature or mobile signature, or using the electronic mail address you have previously notified to us and which is registered in our system. You may also deliver a petition bearing your wet signature, together with documents establishing your identity, to our registered postal address in person or send it via a notary public.

In the application you make to exercise the rights set out above as a data subject, containing explanations regarding the right you request to exercise: the matter you request must be clear and comprehensible; the matter you request must concern you personally, or, if you are acting on behalf of another person, you must be specifically authorised in this regard and this authority must be documented; and the application must contain your identity and address details.

Retention Period of Your Personal Data.

Your personal data processed for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice will be erased, destroyed or anonymised and continue to be used by us pursuant to Article 7/1 of the KVK Law when the purpose requiring its processing ceases to exist and/or when all periods, including the limitation periods for which we are obliged to process your data under legislation, have expired.
