Data protection in Turkey

Information for website visitors and initial enquiries under Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK).

Controller

Av. Nurbanu Ömeroğlu — Nownlaw. İstanbul 2 Nolu Barosu, 3225. Emirgan Mahallesi, Boyacıköyü Yokuşu, Tan Sokak No: 4/3, Baltalimanı / Sarıyer, 34467 İstanbul, Türkiye. info@nownlaw.com · nurbanu@nownlaw.com · +90 506 102 62 71.

Data and collection

IP addresses, access times, pages and browser details may be collected automatically through infrastructure. Names, email, phone, country, language, topics and correspondence you provide are collected through your communication channels wholly or partly automatically and, where relevant, manually as part of a filing system. The form creates an email draft rather than sending an enquiry to the website server.

Purposes and legal grounds

Necessary communication and preparation for a possible legal services agreement at your request rely on Article 5(2)(c) where its requirements apply. Statutory and professional duties rely on Article 5(2)(ç); necessary establishment, exercise or protection of rights on Article 5(2)(e). Security, abuse prevention and conflict checks may rely on necessary and proportionate legitimate interests under Article 5(2)(f), without harming fundamental rights. Each operation needs its own applicable ground. Special categories additionally require Article 6 conditions; do not send unnecessary sensitive data initially.

Recipients and international transfers

Necessary data may reach Vercel, Hostnet, your communications services and authorised authorities, courts or professional bodies for service provision, communication or statutory duties. Further recipients depend on the particular matter. Data is not sold for advertising; professional secrecy remains applicable. Foreign infrastructure may involve processing outside Türkiye. Article 9 requires applicable adequacy, appropriate safeguards or statutory exceptions. This notice does not assert a signed standard contract with any provider. Visiting or contacting is not explicit consent.

Retention criteria

Retention depends on purpose, statutory and professional duties and necessary protection of rights. There is no single period for all categories. Data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised when the grounds end. Browser entries, sent email and provider logs are distinct operations.

Article 11 rights

You may learn whether data is processed, request information, learn purposes and whether use accords with them, learn domestic and foreign recipients, seek correction and legally available deletion or destruction with recipient notification, object to adverse results of solely automated analysis, and seek compensation for damage from unlawful processing.

Requests

Apply in writing to the address above or through legally accepted methods. An email address previously supplied to and registered with the firm may be used to apply to info@nownlaw.com subject to statutory procedural conditions. Describe your request and provide necessary identity verification information without unnecessary documents. Requests are resolved as soon as possible, within thirty days, generally free of charge; the authority’s tariff may apply to additional costs. Statutory complaint and other remedies remain available.
