Transfers abroad
Our website and e-mail run on service providers whose servers may be located outside Türkiye (web hosting, DNS/network security and business e-mail). Due to the nature of international trade, information about your request may also be shared with suppliers, buyers, carriers or customs parties abroad. Such transfers are made in accordance with KVKK Article 9, based on appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses announced by the Personal Data Protection Board) or on the incidental transfer grounds in Article 9/6 (e.g. where directly related to entering into or performing a contract).
