We do not sell or rent your personal data to any third party.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Data

We may share personal data only in the following circumstances:

  1. Service providers: Cloudflare, Inc. (website hosting, security and bot protection, form processing), our e-mail delivery provider (forwarding form submissions to our firm), our e-mail service provider, and Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, only if you accept analytics cookies).

All third parties are required to maintain confidentiality and comply with data protection laws.

6. International Data Transfers

Our firm is established in Türkiye, outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Personal data you send us is therefore processed in Türkiye. Our service providers may also process data in the EU and the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on:

  • Standard contractual clauses (SCCs),
  • Adequacy decisions, including the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, or
  • Other legally approved mechanisms.

Transfers from Türkiye are carried out in accordance with Article 9 of the KVKK.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary:

  • Contact form and inquiry data: up to 12 months
  • Career applications: up to 24 months, unless the candidate requests deletion earlier
  • Client files: retained according to regulatory and professional obligations (typically 5–10 years)
  • Security logs: for the short period set by our hosting provider’s security policy
  • Analytics data: up to 14 months (Google Analytics retention setting); your cookie choice is stored in your browser for 6 months

After the retention period, data is securely deleted.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use two categories of cookies and similar technologies:

  • Strictly necessary: website security, bot protection on the forms (Cloudflare Turnstile) and remembering your cookie choice (stored in your browser). These are always active.
  • Analytics (Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager): visits, pages viewed and traffic sources. These are off by default and are activated only if you choose “Accept all” or select Analytics in the cookie banner.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings.

9. Security of Your Personal Data

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard data against:

  • Unauthorized access
  • Accidental loss
  • Alteration
  • Disclosure
  • Cyber threats

However, no system is completely secure; online data transmission always carries some risk.

  • Right to access — obtain a copy of your data
  • Right to rectification — correct inaccurate information
