This is an English courtesy translation. If the two texts differ, the Turkish text (KVKK Aydınlatma Metni) applies.

1. Who is the data controller?

The data controller under the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (“KVKK”) is SekizTik Teknoloji A.Ş., which operates as Byte Habit Studio (“Byte Habit”, “we”). Address: Atatürk Bulvarı No:185, Kat:5, 06680 Çankaya Ankara, Türkiye. Contact: [email protected] · +90 312 466 94 02.

2. What personal data we process

When you use the contact form on this website, we process:

• Identity and contact data: your name, email address and phone number;
• Request data: the content of your message and the services you ticked;
• Transaction security data: the date and time of your message, the page you sent it from, a hashed (irreversible) form of your IP address that we use only to limit spam and abuse, and the record that you ticked the consent box, with the time you did so.

We do not ask for special categories of personal data (health, religion, biometric data and so on). Please do not include them in your message.

3. Why we process it

• to receive, assess and answer your enquiry, and to prepare a proposal if you ask for one;
• to keep a record of our correspondence;
• to protect this website and the form against spam, abuse and security threats;
• to meet our legal obligations, and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

We do not use your details for newsletters or advertising, and we do not sell them.

4. How it is collected, and the legal basis

Your data is collected electronically, through the contact form on this website. It is processed on the basis of your explicit consent, given by ticking the box before you send the form, and, where they apply, on these grounds in Article 5(2) of KVKK: processing is necessary for the establishment or performance of a contract, where directly related (c); it is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation (ç); it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or protection of a right (e); and it is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms are not harmed (f).

5. Who receives your data

Your message is delivered by email to our studio team. We may share data with service providers for hosting, email delivery and IT support, who act only on our instructions and under a duty of confidentiality. We do not pass your data to any other third party, except when a competent public authority or court lawfully requires it. Where data has to be transferred abroad (for example because a service provider’s servers or a team member are outside Türkiye), we follow Article 9 of KVKK.

6. How long we keep it

We keep your message and contact details for as long as your enquiry, and any project that follows from it, requires, and for as long as the law obliges us to keep records. After that they are deleted, destroyed or anonymised.

7. Cookies and third-party content

This website does not use advertising cookies, and at the time of writing it uses no analytics tools. Videos and the map are provided by YouTube and Google. They load only when you play a video or reach the map, and those providers then process your data under their own privacy policies. If we start using analytics, this notice will be updated first.

8. Your rights under Article 11 of KVKK

By applying to us, you can:

• learn whether your personal data is processed;
• ask for information if it has been processed;
• learn the purpose of the processing and whether it is used accordingly;
• know the third parties to whom your data is transferred, in Türkiye or abroad;
• ask for incomplete or inaccurate data to be corrected;
• ask for your data to be deleted or destroyed under the conditions in Article 7;
• ask for corrections, deletions and destructions to be notified to the third parties your data was transferred to;
• object to a result against you that arises from your data being analysed exclusively by automated systems;
• claim compensation if you suffer damage because your data was processed unlawfully.

You may also withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing it does not affect the lawfulness of what was done before.

9. How to apply

Send your application, with details that identify you and what you are asking for, in writing to the address above, or by email to [email protected] from the address you gave us (or signed with a secure electronic signature). We answer free of charge as soon as possible and within thirty days at the latest; if the work needs a separate cost, the fee in the tariff set by the Personal Data Protection Board may be charged. If your application is rejected, the answer is insufficient or we do not answer in time, you can complain to the Personal Data Protection Board (kvkk.gov.tr) within thirty days of learning our answer, and in any case within sixty days of your application.
