PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

Security of Personal Data

Our company takes all necessary administrative and technical measures to ensure an appropriate level of security in order to securely store personal data and prevent unlawful processing and access to personal data in accordance with the Law. The administrative and technical measures taken regarding the security of personal data are detailed in our Personal Data Retention and Destruction Policy.

To ensure compliance with the provisions of the Law and other relevant legislation, our company has established a "Personal Data Protection Management System" and created a Personal Data Protection Committee within its structure to ensure the implementation of the Policy and other related policies.

Audit

Our company conducts and ensures necessary audits to establish data security as described above and to maintain the regularity and continuity of the measures taken. The Personal Data Protection Committee audits the measures taken for the security of personal data.

Confidentiality

Our company takes all necessary administrative and technical measures, according to technological means and application costs, to ensure that relevant data controllers and processors do not disclose personal data they possess to others in violation of the Law and Policy provisions, and do not use it for purposes other than processing. In this context, information and training activities about the Law and Policy are carried out for company employees, and confidentiality agreements are signed as part of the recruitment process for relevant employees.

Unauthorized Disclosure of Personal Data

In cases where personal data processed by our company is obtained unlawfully by others, our company will carry out the necessary procedures to notify the data subject and the Personal Data Protection Authority within the timeframes determined by the Authority. If deemed necessary by the Authority, this situation will be announced on the Authority’s website or through another method deemed appropriate by the Authority.

Protection of the Legal Rights of Data Subjects

Personal data regarding an individual's race, ethnic origin, political opinions, philosophical beliefs, religion, sect or other beliefs, appearance and attire, membership in associations, foundations or unions, health, sexual life, criminal convictions, and security measures, as well as biometric and genetic data, are classified as special categories of personal data. Our company is aware that the processing of such personal data can lead to harm to the individual or discrimination if disclosed by others. Therefore, we take the necessary precautions determined by the Authority to protect such legally processed personal data with utmost care. In this context, we have a separate policy (Special Categories of Personal Data Security Policy) and procedure that is systematic, clearly defined, manageable, and sustainable.

 

PROCESSING AND TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

General Principles for Processing and Transferring Personal Data

Personal data is processed by our company in accordance with the procedures and principles outlined in the Law and this Policy. Our company adheres to the following principles when processing personal data.

Compliance with Law and Principles of Honesty

Our company processes personal data in accordance with the relevant legislation and the requirements of the principle of honesty, using it within those limits. According to the principle of honesty, our company considers the interests and reasonable expectations of data subjects while striving to achieve the goals of data processing. It acts preventively to avoid outcomes that the data subject does not expect or should not expect. Additionally, in accordance with this principle, our company ensures that the data processing activity is transparent for the data subject; it acts in compliance with the obligations to inform and warn.

Accuracy and Timeliness

Our company ensures that the personal data processed, considering the fundamental rights and legitimate interests of data subjects, is accurate and up to date. In this scope, it carefully considers matters such as ensuring the sources from which the data is obtained are specific, confirming the accuracy, and evaluating whether updates are needed. Our company maintains open channels to ensure that the information of the data subject is accurate and current in line with the active diligence obligation. Keeping personal data accurately and timely not only protects our company’s interests but is also necessary for the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

Processing for Specific, Explicit, and Legitimate Purposes

Our company clearly defines the purpose of data processing and ensures that it is legitimate. The legitimacy of the purpose means that the personal data processed by our company is related to its business or services and is necessary for them. Our company does not process personal data for purposes other than those stated. In this regard, it shows sensitivity in compliance with the principles of clarity and determination in legal documents and texts that declare the purposes of personal data processing.

Relevant, Limited, and Proportionate to the Purpose of Processing

Our company ensures that the personal data processed is suitable for achieving the defined purposes and refrains from processing data that is unrelated to or unnecessary for achieving the purpose. Our company does not collect or process personal data for purposes that do not currently exist or are later anticipated. To meet potential future needs, it processes data in accordance with the processing conditions regulated in the Law as if it is starting to process for the first time. Additionally, it restricts the processed data to what is necessary to achieve the purpose. Under the principle of proportionality, it maintains a reasonable balance between the intended purpose and data processing.

Retention for the Period Required by Relevant Legislation or Necessary for the Purpose of Processing

If there is a time period prescribed by the relevant legislation for data retention, our company complies with these periods; otherwise, personal data is retained only for the time necessary for the purpose for which it was processed. If there is no valid reason for retaining personal data longer, the data will be deleted, destroyed, or anonymized. The procedures for the retention and destruction of personal data are detailed in our Personal Data Retention and Destruction Policy.

The concept of legitimate interest refers to an interest that is legitimate, effective to the level that can compete with the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual, specific, and currently existing.
