For the purposes of Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (“KVKK”), the data controller is the business identified below.
2. What personal data do we process?
When you choose to provide it through our quotation or contact processes, we may process:
- Identity and contact data: name, surname, phone number and email address.
- Business information: company name and work-related details included in your request.
- Request and transaction data: part/material number, quantity, message content and quotation records.
- File content: information contained in product labels, photos or PDFs you upload.
- Technical/security data: connection and transaction records that may arise for service security and abuse prevention.
3. Purposes and legal grounds
Personal data is processed to receive and assess your quotation request, research products/parts, communicate with you, manage quotation and sourcing processes, maintain information security and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Depending on the specific process, processing may rely on legal grounds set out in Article 5 of KVKK, including necessity for establishing or performing a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and legitimate interests provided that fundamental rights and freedoms are not harmed. If a separate activity requires explicit consent, it will be handled separately and clearly.
4. Collection method
Data may be collected electronically through the quotation form, email, phone/WhatsApp communications and technical records generated while the service operates.
5. Data transfers
To the extent necessary to fulfil your request, personal data may be shared with authorised personnel, suppliers/business partners, legally authorised public bodies, and technical service providers such as web hosting and email delivery providers, only within the scope required for the relevant service.
If a technical service provider or its infrastructure is located abroad and this results in an international transfer of personal data, the transfer requirements and safeguards under Article 9 of KVKK are taken into account.
6. Retention period
Data is kept only for as long as required by the processing purpose and applicable legal retention periods. When the purpose ends and no other legal ground applies, data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised in accordance with applicable rules.
7. Your rights under KVKK
You may submit requests concerning your rights under Article 11 of KVKK to the data controller through the contact channel below, together with information sufficient to verify your identity.
