4. How we collect data and legal grounds
Your personal data is collected electronically: when you send it to us through the quote and contact forms on this website, by email, phone or WhatsApp, and automatically by the server while you visit the website.
It is processed on the following legal grounds of Article 5(2) KVKK:
- (c) It is directly related to the conclusion or performance of a contract: answering your quote request and pre-contract talks.
- (ç) It is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation.

5. Transfers of personal data
Within the purposes above and in line with Articles 8 and 9 KVKK, your personal data may be transferred to:
- The providers of the server hosting this website and of our email service, only to deliver the service technically.
- Our group company Taha Gümrük Müşavirliği Ltd. Şti., if your request also covers customs procedures.

The map on the contact page is provided by Google Maps (Google LLC) and loads only when you press "Show the map". When it loads, your browser connects to Google's servers, and your IP address and browser information are sent to Google, whose servers are located abroad. If you write to us on WhatsApp, your messages pass through WhatsApp's (Meta's) infrastructure.
6. Cookies
This website does not use cookies of its own, and there are no analytics or advertising tools tracking your visit. Only the Google Maps map on the contact page may use Google's cookies, once you choose to show it. You can block or delete them in your browser settings.
7. Retention
Your quote and contact requests are kept for as long as needed for the purpose of processing and for at most two years after the request is concluded. If your request leads to a contract, the retention periods of the applicable legislation apply. At the end of the period your data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
Your IP address, used to prevent abuse, is not stored permanently; it is held only in the server's memory and for at most 10 minutes.
8. Job applications
If you apply for a job through the form on the careers page, we process your name, email address, phone number, the area you apply for, what you write about yourself and your CV (with the information in it, such as your education and work experience).
We process this data to assess your application, to contact you and to prepare an employment contract, under Article 5(2)(c) KVKK (directly related to concluding a contract) and Article 5(2)(f) KVKK (our legitimate interest).
The application form and your CV are not stored on the website; they are only sent to our team by email. Your application is kept for at most one year after the assessment ends, so that we can contact you if a suitable position opens in that time. You can ask us to delete it sooner at any time.
Please leave special categories of personal data, such as religion, health, union membership or criminal records, out of your CV; we do not need them to assess your application.
