Additionally, the Company implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unlawful access and misuse.
The Company recognizes the importance of protecting personal data for both our users and other individuals. For this reason, we would like to inform you clearly about which personal data we collect, how we manage it, and how we ensure its protection.
Purpose, Scope and Legal Basis of Processing
Personal data is collected and processed exclusively for specific, explicit, and lawful purposes, and only to the extent necessary for these purposes.
The Company will collect and process personal data only when permitted by applicable regulations, specifically under the following circumstances:
• Processing is necessary for compliance with legal obligations;
• The individual has given consent for the processing of their personal data;
• Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
• Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;
• Processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of the Company or affiliated companies.
Collection and Use of Personal Data
Personal data includes information that identifies you directly or indirectly. Such information includes, for example, your first and last name, email address, telephone number, IP address, or postal address.
The Company does not collect your personal data unless you explicitly provide such information—for example, by requesting information about specific products or services, signing a contract, requesting specific actions before entering into a contract, joining loyalty programs, subscribing to newsletters, participating in surveys, ordering samples or brochures, making donation requests, submitting CVs or open bids, applying for open positions, or through employment within our Company.
Your personal data is collected, stored, used, or transferred by us only to the extent necessary in content and duration to answer your inquiries, fulfill your requests, inform you about our products or the results of a contest or prize game, perform contractual obligations or necessary pre-contractual steps, or fulfill other legal obligations. The Company requires these third parties to comply with applicable legal regulations, act in accordance with our instructions, adhere to our internal rules on the protection of personal data, and take appropriate organizational and technical measures for such protection.
The Company guarantees that it will never sell your personal data, nor transfer or lend it to third parties unless necessary for fulfilling the specific purpose for which you provided it. Additionally, the Company will not disclose your personal data to any unauthorized recipients.
In cases where laws or other binding regulations require it, we may need to provide your personal data to authorized public institutions.
Collected data will be retained only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or for the duration specified by applicable regulations.
Use of Personal Data for Advertising and Marketing Purposes
In cases where your personal data is used for advertising and marketing purposes in compliance with applicable personal data protection regulations, your data will be stored and used for sending communications via email, postal mail, or other communication channels you have approved.
If your personal data is used to create and maintain a user profile for sending personalized advertisements and promotions, you will be informed in advance—before such advertisements or promotions are sent—and we will explicitly request your informed consent before processing your personal data for these purposes.
Furthermore, we may use your data in surveys or other questionnaires when we aim to analyze and improve the effectiveness of our online services, advertising, marketing, market research, and sales activities, ensuring your personal data is not associated with your name or any identifiable individual.
Exercising One's Rights
At any time, you may request information regarding your personal data processed by us, request corrections, withdraw consent for their use, request deletion of your personal data, or withdraw your consent for all purposes or specific purposes (except in cases where this is not possible, such as when data is processed solely for statistical purposes and cannot identify an individual). You may also prohibit the transfer of your data to another data controller under legal conditions or unsubscribe from our informational and promotional materials.
Moreover, in situations based on our legitimate interest, particularly when data is used for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data.
We will make every reasonable effort to ensure the accurate recording of the personal data you provide to us. You also have a responsibility to ensure accuracy; therefore, we kindly request that you regularly and promptly update your information or send us a request to implement any necessary changes or corrections.
To exercise your rights regarding the use of your personal data or to fulfill your obligations, you may contact us via the Company’s email or postal address provided on the website, by sending an email to info@yorucuoglu.com, or by following the instructions provided in promotional materials sent to you.
Upon receiving such requests, we will make reasonable efforts to verify your identity to prevent unauthorized processing of personal data.
After receiving your request, we will perform the requested actions within a reasonable time frame, but no later than 30 days from receipt of the request, and will duly inform you in compliance with applicable laws.
Data Security
We have implemented technical and organizational measures to prevent the loss, alteration, or theft of your data, unauthorized third-party access, or any unauthorized processing of your data. Access to your personal data is restricted solely to employees who require this information to provide our services or respond to your inquiries. We continuously train our employees on the importance of data privacy, confidentiality, and security. We collect only the data necessary for specific processing purposes and do not store data longer than required or beyond the period specified by applicable regulations.
On our website, you may occasionally find links to other websites or portals. We may also offer social networking features that allow sharing of personal data on social networks. We cannot be held responsible for data protection practices and measures employed by these portals, social networks, or third parties. Since their practices may differ from ours, we recommend reviewing their respective policies before use.
Limitation of Liability
Although we take appropriate technical, organizational, and human resources measures to protect personal data against accidental or intentional misuse, destruction, loss, unauthorized alteration, or access, despite the provisions of this Privacy Policy, we cannot guarantee that certain personal data we collect will never be accidentally disclosed.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept responsibility for any damage incurred by users or third parties due to accidental disclosure of personal data.
As we have no control over personal data you provide directly when accessing or using other websites, or when transmitting data directly to third parties (e.g., when participating in sponsored events), to the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept responsibility for any damage incurred by you or third parties resulting from the transmission of such personal data.
