SECTION 3: LEGAL GROUNDS AND PURPOSES OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA
I. LEGAL GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
1. General Principles
Although the legal grounds for the processing of personal data by our Company may vary, all personal data processing activities are carried out in accordance with the general principles set forth in Article 4 of Law No. 6698. Accordingly, in all data processing activities, the following principles are taken into consideration:
-
Compliance with the law and the principles of honesty,
-
Accuracy and, where necessary, being kept up to date,
-
Processing for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes,
-
Being relevant, limited, and proportionate to the purposes for which they are processed,
-
Being retained for the period stipulated in the relevant legislation or required for the purpose for which they are processed.
2. Grounds for Lawful Processing
Existence of the Explicit Consent of the Data Subject
One of the conditions for processing personal data is the explicit consent of the data subject. The explicit consent of the data subject must be given for a specific subject, based on adequate information, and expressed freely.
Explicitly Stipulated in Laws
Personal data of the data subject may be processed lawfully if it is explicitly stipulated in the law. For example, notifying the identities of our employees to authorized authorities pursuant to identity notification legislation.
Inability to Obtain Explicit Consent Due to Actual Impossibility
If the processing of personal data is mandatory for the protection of the life or physical integrity of the data subject or another person, and the data subject is unable to express consent due to actual impossibility or if consent is not legally valid, personal data may be processed. For example, sharing the blood type information of an employee who has fainted with a physician.
Directly Related to the Establishment or Performance of a Contract
Provided that it is directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract, personal data of the parties to the contract may be processed where necessary. For example, obtaining a CV from a candidate to establish an employment contract, or collecting address information to enable official notifications within the scope of the contract.
Fulfillment of the Company’s Legal Obligations
Personal data of the data subject may be processed where processing is mandatory for our Company, as the data controller, to fulfill its legal obligations. For example, processing family information to allow an employee to benefit from tax allowances.
Personal Data Made Public by the Data Subject
If the data subject has made their personal data public, the relevant personal data may be processed. For example, if our customers submit complaints, requests, or suggestions on a publicly accessible platform on the internet, they are deemed to have made their information public. In such cases, our Company may process such data solely for the purpose of responding to the complaint, request, or suggestion.
Processing is Mandatory for the Establishment, Exercise, or Protection of a Right
Personal data may be processed where processing is mandatory for the establishment, exercise, or protection of a right. For example, storing evidentiary data such as sales contracts and invoices and using them when necessary.
Processing is Mandatory for the Legitimate Interests of the Company
Provided that it does not harm the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, personal data may be processed where processing is mandatory for the legitimate interests of our Company. For example, monitoring critical areas via security cameras to prevent theft or ensure occupational safety.
Processing of Special Categories of Personal Data and Legal Grounds
Special categories of personal data may only be processed without the explicit consent of the data subject in cases stipulated by law and provided that adequate measures determined by the Personal Data Protection Board are taken. Special categories of personal data relating to health and sexual life may only be processed for the purposes of protecting public health, preventive medicine, medical diagnosis, treatment and care services, and planning and management of healthcare services and financing, by persons under confidentiality obligations or authorized institutions and organizations. Regardless of the legal basis, general data processing principles are always taken into account and complied with during processing activities (Law No. 6698, Article 4).
II. PURPOSES OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA
Our Company processes personal data limited to the purposes and conditions specified in Article 5(2) and Article 6(3) of Law No. 6698. During processing activities, the legal grounds stated above are taken into account, and where no other lawful basis exists, explicit consent is obtained from the data subject. In all cases, compliance with the general principles under Article 4 is ensured. The purposes of processing personal data are also specified in our Company’s Personal Data Processing Inventory.
Primary Processing Purposes
Personal data is processed within our Company primarily for the following purposes:
-
Fulfillment of mutual obligations arising from employment contracts,
-
Execution of human resources processes, recruitment, personnel management, payroll, performance evaluations, disciplinary procedures, training and career planning,
-
Ensuring occupational health and safety,

SECTION 4: STORAGE, DELETION, DESTRUCTION, AND ANONYMIZATION OF PERSONAL DATA
I. STORAGE AND RETENTION PERIODS
Personal data is stored for the periods stipulated in relevant legislation. Where no retention period is specified, personal data is stored for as long as necessary for the purposes of processing, in line with business practices and legal requirements, and may be retained for evidentiary purposes in legal disputes. Once the purpose of processing ceases to exist, personal data is deleted, destroyed, or anonymized.
II. DELETION, DESTRUCTION, AND ANONYMIZATION
A. Deletion of Personal Data
Deletion refers to rendering personal data inaccessible and unusable for relevant users. Necessary technical and administrative measures are taken to ensure this.
B. Destruction of Personal Data
Destruction refers to rendering personal data completely inaccessible, irretrievable, and unusable by anyone.
C. Anonymization of Personal Data
Anonymization refers to processing personal data in such a way that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual, even when combined with other data. Anonymized data may be processed for research, planning, and statistical purposes without requiring explicit consent.

SECTION 6: ENSURING THE SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA
I. TECHNICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES TAKEN TO ENSURE LAWFUL PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
Our Company takes all necessary technical and administrative measures to ensure the lawful processing of personal data. In this context:
-
A Data Inventory compliant with the VERBİS system (Data Mapping) is prepared within our Company, and compliance audits regarding lawfulness and purpose are conducted within this framework.
-
The “Policy on Information Principles in the Processing of Personal Data” has been put into effect to ensure that the obligation to inform data subjects is fulfilled completely and accurately.
-
Employees are informed about personal data protection law and the lawful processing of personal data.
-
All activities carried out by our Company are analyzed in detail for each business unit, and, as a result of this analysis, personal data processing activities are identified based on the specific activities performed by the relevant unit.
-
For the personal data processing activities carried out by our business units, the requirements necessary to ensure compliance with the processing conditions required by Law No. 6698 are determined specifically for each unit and each detailed activity.
-
Provisions are included in contracts and documents governing the legal relationship between the Company and employees that impose obligations not to process, disclose, or use personal data—except as instructed by the Company and as permitted by legal exceptions; employee awareness is ensured and audits are conducted.
-
Similar provisions are included in contracts and documents governing the legal relationship between the Company and third parties processing data for which the Company is responsible—except as instructed by the Company and as permitted by legal exceptions; and a “Supplier Confidentiality Agreement” has been put into effect.
II. TECHNICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES TAKEN IN THE PROCESSING OF SPECIAL CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA
Under the Law on the Protection of Personal Data, certain personal data is given special importance due to the risk of harm or discrimination if processed unlawfully. Such data includes: race, ethnic origin, political opinion, philosophical belief, religion, sect or other beliefs, attire, association/foundation/union membership, health, sexual life, criminal convictions and security measures, biometric data, and genetic data.
Our Company acts with particular care in protecting special categories of personal data determined as such under the Law and processed lawfully. In this scope, the technical and administrative measures taken for the protection of personal data are applied with due care to special categories of personal data, and necessary audits are ensured. Accordingly:
-
A “Policy on the Protection and Processing of Personal Data” has been prepared regarding the security and processing principles for special categories of personal data.
-
Employees involved in the processing of special categories of personal data receive regular training on the Law, related regulations, and special-category data security; confidentiality agreements are executed; the scope and duration of authorizations for users with access rights are clearly defined; authorization controls are carried out; and the access rights of employees who change roles or leave employment are immediately revoked, and the inventory allocated to them by the data controller is collected back.
-
Where special-category data is processed, stored and/or accessed electronically, the data is protected using cryptographic methods; cryptographic keys are kept securely and in separate environments; all actions performed on the data are securely logged; security updates for the environments are monitored; and necessary security tests are conducted and recorded.
-
Where access is provided through software, user authorizations are applied; security tests for such software are performed regularly and recorded. Where remote access is required, at least two-factor authentication is provided.
-
Where the relevant environments are physical, sufficient physical security measures are taken against risks (such as electrical leakage, fire, flood, theft, etc.), and physical security is ensured to prevent unauthorized entry and exit.
-
If special-category data is to be transferred and transfer via e-mail is required, the transfer is ensured by using encrypted corporate e-mail or a Registered Electronic Mail (KEP) account.
-
If special-category data is transferred through media such as memory devices, CD, DVD, etc., it is encrypted using cryptographic methods and the cryptographic key is kept in a separate environment.
-
If data is transferred between servers in different physical locations, transfer is performed by establishing a VPN between servers or using the sFTP method. If transfer is required in paper form, necessary measures are taken against risks such as theft, loss, or unauthorized viewing, and documents are sent in the format of “classified/confidential documents.”
-
In addition to the measures above, technical and administrative measures aimed at ensuring an adequate level of security, as set out in the Personal Data Security Guide published on the website of the Personal Data Protection Authority, are also taken into consideration.
III. TECHNICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES TAKEN TO PREVENT UNLAWFUL ACCESS TO PERSONAL DATA
Our Company takes technical and administrative measures to prevent the careless or unauthorized disclosure, access, transfer, or any other form of unlawful access to personal data.
A. Technical measures taken to prevent unlawful access
The main technical measures include:
Ensuring Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity products are primarily used, but measures are not limited to these. Measures such as firewalls and network gateways are implemented. Unused software and services are removed from devices.
Software Updates
Patch management and software updates are applied to ensure proper functioning of software and hardware and to regularly verify whether security measures are adequate.
Access Restrictions
Access to systems containing personal data is restricted. Employees are granted access only to the extent necessary for their duties, authorities, and responsibilities. Access is provided via username and password. When creating passwords, combinations of uppercase/lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols are used instead of easily guessable sequences. Accordingly, an access authorization and control matrix is established.
Encryption / Credential Controls
In addition to strong password use, access is limited through measures such as restricting login attempts, ensuring periodic password changes, using administrator accounts only when necessary, and promptly deleting or disabling accounts of employees whose relationship with the data controller has ended.
Antivirus Software
Antivirus and antispam products that regularly scan the network and detect threats are used and kept up to date; relevant files are scanned regularly. Where personal data is obtained from different websites and/or mobile applications, connections are ensured via SSL or a more secure method.
Monitoring Personal Data Security
-
Security issues are reported as quickly as possible,
-
All user activity records are maintained regularly (e.g., logs),
-
Networks are monitored for intrusions or abnormal activity,
-
Active software and services on networks are checked.
A formal reporting procedure is established for employees to report vulnerabilities or related threats.
In undesirable incidents such as system crashes, malware, denial-of-service attacks, incorrect data entry, breaches affecting confidentiality/integrity, or misuse of IT systems, evidence is collected and stored securely.
Securing Environments Containing Personal Data
Where personal data is stored on devices located at data controller premises or in paper form, physical security measures are taken against threats such as theft or loss. Physical environments are protected against external risks (fire, flood, etc.), and access is controlled.
If personal data is in electronic environments, access can be restricted between network components and/or components can be segregated to prevent data breaches.
Equivalent measures are applied to paper/electronic environments and devices containing Company personal data located outside Company premises (laptops, mobile phones, USB drives, etc.). Personal data sent via e-mail or post is sent carefully and with sufficient measures. Where employees access the information systems network via personal devices, adequate security measures are also applied.
For risks such as loss or theft of devices, access control authorization and/or encryption methods are used; encryption keys are stored in environments accessible only to authorized persons.
Paper documents containing personal data are stored locked and accessible only to authorized persons.
Cloud Storage
Where necessary, cloud storage may be used. In such cases, the Company evaluates whether the security measures taken by the cloud provider are adequate and appropriate, considering Board guidance and recommendations.
IT Systems Supply, Development and Maintenance
Security requirements are taken into account when determining needs related to procurement, development, or improvement of systems.
Backup of Personal Data
In cases of damage, loss, theft, or disappearance of personal data, the Company ensures continuity by using backed-up data as soon as possible. Backups are accessible only by the system administrator, and dataset backups are kept offline.
B. Administrative measures taken to prevent unlawful access
The main administrative measures include:
-
Employees are informed and trained on technical measures to prevent unlawful access to personal data.
-
Employees are informed that they may not disclose personal data they learn in violation of the Law or use it outside the purpose of processing, and that this obligation continues after employment ends; necessary undertakings are obtained.
-
Personal Data Security Policies and Procedures are established; regular controls are performed and documented; areas for improvement are identified. Risks and breach-management methods for each data category are also clearly defined.
-
Data minimization: data must be accurate and up to date and retained only as long as necessary; outdated or unnecessary data is evaluated and deleted/destroyed/anonymized under the retention and destruction policy.
-
Managing relationships with data processors: when services are obtained from processors, the Company ensures that they provide at least an equivalent level of security; protective clauses regarding personal data protection are included in contracts.
IV. STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA IN SECURE ENVIRONMENTS
Our Company takes necessary technical and administrative measures—considering technological capabilities and implementation cost—to store personal data securely and prevent unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration.
A. Technical measures for secure storage
-
Systems compatible with technological developments are used for secure storage.
-
Technical security systems are established for storage areas; measures are audited periodically through the Company’s designated audit mechanism; risks are reassessed and necessary technological solutions are implemented.
-
All necessary infrastructure is used lawfully to ensure secure storage.
B. Administrative measures for secure storage
-
Employees are informed regarding the secure storage of personal data.
-
If external services are used due to technical requirements, contracts with relevant companies to whom data is lawfully transferred include provisions that recipients will take necessary security measures and ensure compliance within their organizations; the Company acts in accordance with the “Principles for the Protection of Personal Data in Relations with Third Parties” policy.
V. TRAINING
Our Company provides employees with necessary training within the scope of policies, procedures, and KVKK regulations regarding the protection of personal data.
Trainings specifically address definitions and protection practices related to special categories of personal data.
If an employee accesses personal data physically or electronically, the Company provides training specific to such access (e.g., the relevant software).
VI. AUDIT
A. Increasing awareness and auditing business units
Our Company ensures that necessary notifications are made to business units to increase awareness for preventing unlawful processing, unlawful access, and ensuring retention.
B. Increasing awareness and auditing business partners and suppliers
Our Company provides necessary information to business partners to increase awareness for preventing unlawful processing, unlawful access, and ensuring retention.
C. Auditing the measures taken for personal data protection
Our Company has the right to audit, at any time and ex officio, without prior notice, whether all employees, departments, and contractors comply with this Policy and KVKK regulations, and conducts or commissions routine audits. Audit results are evaluated within the Company’s internal processes and improvement actions are carried out.
Measures to be taken in case of unauthorized disclosure of personal data:
In accordance with Article 12 of the KVKK, our Company operates a system to ensure that, if personal data processed lawfully is obtained by others through unlawful means, this is notified as soon as possible to the relevant data subject and to the Personal Data Protection Board.
