How We Collect Personal Data
We collect personal data partly by automated and partly by non-automated means through the contact form on our website, e-mails you send us directly, telephone calls and messages you send us on WhatsApp. Transaction security data is recorded automatically by the hosting server when you visit the website. Cookie data is collected through your browser only if you give your consent.
Purposes of Processing
We process your personal data for the following purposes:
- Receiving, assessing and responding to your requests, questions and enquiries,
- Preparing quotations and conducting business communications,
- Establishing and maintaining business relationships relating to our supply services,
- Ensuring the security of the website and our information systems, and preventing misuse,

Legal Grounds for Processing
We process your personal data on the following legal grounds set out in Article 5(2) of the KVKK:
- Sub-paragraph (c): Processing is necessary for the establishment or performance of a contract, provided that it directly relates to that contract (handling quotation requests and establishing a business relationship).
- Sub-paragraph (ç): Processing is necessary for the Company to comply with its legal obligations (statutory record-keeping and notification obligations).
- Sub-paragraph (f): Processing is necessary for the Company's legitimate interests, provided that it does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms (responding to enquiries, website security and strictly necessary cookies).
Optional analytics and external media cookies are used only on the basis of your explicit consent under Article 5(1) of the KVKK. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the website footer.
The "I have read the Personal Data Protection Notice" checkbox on the contact form confirms that you have read this Notice; it is not a declaration of explicit consent.
Transfer of Personal Data
Your personal data may be transferred to the following categories of recipients, limited to the purposes above and in accordance with Articles 8 and 9 of the KVKK:
- Hosting service provider: Turhost (part of the teamblue group), which provides the server hosting the website and the contact form records.
- E-mail service provider: The e-mail infrastructure through which contact form notifications and e-mail correspondence are delivered.
- Competent public authorities: Judicial and administrative authorities, where required by law and limited to the information requested.
If you consent to analytics and external media cookies, the related data is processed by Google LLC and its affiliates (Google Analytics and Google Maps). As the servers of these services may be located outside Türkiye, such transfer takes place only on the basis of your explicit consent within the scope of Article 9 of the KVKK. These services do not run unless you give your consent.
If you contact us via WhatsApp, that communication is subject to the terms of service and privacy policies of WhatsApp and Meta Platforms.

Information submitted through the contact form is forwarded to the Company's e-mail inbox and stored in the website's administration panel. It is kept for as long as necessary to respond to your request and, where applicable, to conduct the business relationship, and in any event for no longer than 2 (two) years, after which it is deleted.
If your request leads to a business relationship, the commercial records and documents created as part of that relationship are retained for the periods required by the applicable legislation. Server logs are kept for the periods required by the hosting provider's security practices and the applicable legislation. Personal data whose retention period has expired is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
