Website Privacy Agreement

By visiting this website, you acknowledge the conditions specified in this Personal Data Policy.

 

 

I. The Purpose of Personal Data Protection
As it has become easier than ever to access, process and transfer personal data partially thanks to the developments in information technology, a necessity has emerged for protecting personal data related to the personal privacy, a basic human right. In parallel to the international regulations on the subject, the protection of personal data has gained constitutional grounds with the third clause appended to article 20 of the Constitution in 2010 and later on April 7th, 2016, Personal Data Protection Law (“KVKK”) no. 6698 was established upon being published on the official gazette. The Akca Kontrplak family strives to act in compliance with the duly signed international agreements our country is a party to, the KVKK and other relevant regulations regarding protection of personal data in all its operations. As such, by preparing this “Akca Kontrplak Company Policy Document on Personal Data Protection” (“Policy”), our Company aims to turn the contents of this document into an internal company regulation. Therefore, we aim to inform the relevant persons whose personal data is to be processed by us due to their legal affiliations with our Company and Company employees on protection of personal data. As such, it has been decided that this Policy document prepared by taking into account mainly KVKK and its secondary regulation, as well as the Authority’s declarations and guides on the subject in order to comply with the terms on protection of personal data in relevant regulations be accepted by our Company and declared to relevant parties. This Policy acts as a guiding text pertaining to Company practices.

 

 

II. The Scope of Policy on Protection and Processing of Personal Data
This Policy applies to all personal data of our employees, prospective employees, company stakeholders and executives, visitors, our affiliated third parties which has been processed via automated or non-automated methods as part of any data logging system.

 

 

III. Processing of Personal Data
Processing of personal data is defined in KVKK, article 3, clause 1, sub-clause (e) as “All processing made on the data such as obtaining, recording, storage, retaining, modification, reorganization, declaration, transfer, inheritance, making attainable, classification or preventing use of personal data in an entirely or partially automated or non-automated manner as part of a data logging system.”

Under the title of the Akca Kontrplak family, our Company processes the personal data it obtains in compliance with the basic principles regarding personal data processing as per article 20 of the Constitution and KVKK, article 4, and based on one or more of the data protection conditions contained in KVKK, article 5.

a. Basic Principles in Processing Personal Data

i.Processing in Compliance with Law and Good Faith: Akca Kontrplak puts emphasis on obtaining and processing personal data that it collects or that otherwise comes to its possession in compliance with law and good faith by questioning the source of such data. As such, it provides the necessary warnings and notifications to third parties selling Akca Kontrplak’s products (distributors, suppliers, points of sale and other intermediaries).

 

 

ii.Making Sure Personal Data is Accurate and Up-to-Date As Needed: Akca Kontrplak has taken steps to establish the necessary system for making sure the personal data contained in the Company is accurate and for updating the information that comes to its possession when there’s a change in personal data.

 

 

iii.Processing for Specific, Express and Legitimate Purposes: Akca Kontrplak expressly and absolutely declares its personal data processing purpose that is legitimate and lawful. Thus, Akca Kontrplak processes personal data under the limitation of the declared purposes within the confines of the consent it received from concerned parties and its obligation for clarification. It does not process, use and transfer data illegally beyond the scope of these purposes. The personal data not required as per the data minimization policy is not logged in the system, is deleted and anonymized.

 

 

iv.Retention for the Period Specified in the Applicable Regulation and Required for the Purpose of Processing: Akca Kontrplak retains personal data for the periods specified by legitimate interest and law as per KVVK and the relevant regulation; in the event that no period is specified, it retains personal data for the period required for the purpose of processing. If the period ends or the reasons for processing are no longer valid, personal data is deleted, destroyed or anonymized.

 

 

b. Conditions for Processing Personal Data

Conditions for processing personal data are specified in KVKK, article 5. As a rule, the concerned party’s “express consent” must be present for the personal data to be processed. KVKK, article 5, clause 2 includes the exceptions to this rule. These exceptions are valid when it is:

expressly stated in law
mandatory for the preservation of life or physical integrity of the person whose consent is not declarable due to actual impossibility or whose consent is legally invalid or that of someone else
mandatory that the personal data for the parties of an agreement be processed if it is directly related to the establishment or execution of an agreement
mandatory for the data controller to fulfil its legal obligations
personally made public by the concerned party
mandatory that data processing be executed for the establishment, use or protection of a right
mandatory that data processing be executed for the legitimate interest of the data controller, provided it does not damage the basic rights and liberties of the concerned party
These exceptions are established on a numerus clausus basis and are not expandable. Therefore, our Company shall observe adherence to the conditions for processing and in the case that non-adherence to these conditions is detected, shall not process this personal data and only process such information when the conditions are met.

 

 

c. Processing of Private Personal Data

Private personal data may lead to discrimination or aggrievement to the concerned person if disclosed and requires special protection. In KVVK, article 6, private personal data is defined as;

“The race, ethnicity, political view, philosophical belief, religion, religious sect or other beliefs, appearance, association, foundation or union membership, health, sexual life, criminal record and data regarding security measures and biometric and genetic data of people”

Private personal data may only be processed with express consent from the concerned party or in the limited situations required under law. Private personal data besides health and sexual life may only be processed if required by law, data on health and sexual life may only be processed for the purposes of;

preservation of public health
execution of preventive medicine, medical diagnosis, treatment and care services
planning and management of health services and financing
by persons or authorized institutions and organizations under confidentiality obligation without seeking express consent from the concerned party.

 

 

IV. Domestic and International Transfer of Personal Data

As per KVKK, article 8, clause 1, as a rule personal data may not be transferred without the consent of the concerned party. However,

if there is a regulation in law regarding transfer of Personal Data it may be transferred without express consent of the concerned party if it is mandatory for the preservation of life or physical integrity of the owner of the Personal Data or that of someone else
the owner of the Personal Data is unable to declare consent due to actual impossibility or if their consent is legally invalid
it is mandatory that the Personal Data for the parties of an agreement be transferred if it is directly related to the establishment or execution of the agreement
Personal Data transfer is mandatory for our Company to fulfil its legal obligations
Personal Data was personally made public by the owner of the Personal Data
Personal Data transfer is mandatory for the establishment, use or protection of a right
Personal Data transfer is mandatory for the legitimate interest of our Company, provided it does not damage the basic rights and liberties of the owner of the Private Data.
Again, private personal data besides health and sexual life may only be processed if required by law, data on health and sexual life may only be processed for the purposes of;

preservation of public health
execution of preventive medicine, medical diagnosis, treatment and care services
planning and management of health services and financing
by persons or authorized institutions and organizations under confidentiality obligation without seeking express consent from the concerned party. Clearly, the exceptions for the transfer of personal data is identical to those for processing of personal data.

 

 

As per KVKK, article 9, the rule for international transfer of personal data is also subject to the express consent from the concerned party. In addition, in situations where express consent is not mandatory for the transfer and processing of personal data, if sufficient protection is present in the country to which the data is to be transferred or if sufficient protection is not present, yet data controllers in Turkey and the relevant foreign country confirm in wiring that sufficient protection is to be provided and a Committee approval is obtained, personal data may be internationally transferred without the express consent of the concerned party. The Authority shall declare which country provides sufficient protection. In the event that personal data is transferred to a foreign party, our Company shall take the required measures for protection of personal data.
