Privacy notice (KVKK)
Last updated:
This notice has been prepared in accordance with Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK). It explains how we process your personal data when you visit koutalis.digital or contact us.
Data controller
Ali Hakan Baş. Address: Cevizli Mah. Zühal Cad. A Ticari Blok No: 46/50, Maltepe, İstanbul 34846. Tax office and tax number: Kartal Vergi Dairesi, 1430296377. Email: info@koutalis.digital.
What personal data do we process?
When you use our contact form, we process your name, email address and message. If you provide your company name or phone number, we process those details too. If you contact us by email or WhatsApp, we process the information you share through those channels.
Our website has no user accounts, payment system or analytics tracking. We do not collect other personal data about your visit.
Why do we process your data?
- To respond to your enquiry and communicate with you
- To prepare quotes and manage discussions before a contract is signed
- To meet our legal obligations
Legal grounds for processing
We process your personal data on the legal grounds set out in Article 5 of the KVKK: where processing is directly related to entering into or performing a contract (Art. 5/2-c), to comply with our legal obligations (Art. 5/2-ç), and for our legitimate interests, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms are not harmed (Art. 5/2-f). If these grounds do not apply, we ask for your explicit consent. The consent checkbox on our contact form is provided for this purpose.
How do we collect your data?
Your personal data is collected electronically, through the contact form, email and WhatsApp.
Who may we share your data with?
Our website and contact form are hosted on servers outside Türkiye by our hosting provider, Hostinger. Personal data submitted through the form is therefore considered a transfer abroad under Article 9 of the KVKK. By ticking the form's consent checkbox, you give your explicit consent to that transfer. Form submissions reach us by email and are not stored in a separate database on the server.
We may share your data with the technical providers we use for website hosting and email, but only as needed to provide those services. We disclose data to authorised authorities only when legally required. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties for marketing.
How long do we keep your data?
We retain your data for as long as necessary after your enquiry has been handled and, where applicable, our contract has ended, taking account of legal retention periods and the need to provide evidence in potential disputes. We then delete or destroy it.

- Find out whether your personal data is being processed

- Learn why your data is processed and whether it is used for that purpose

- Request correction of incomplete or inaccurate personal data
- Request that your personal data be deleted or destroyed
- Request that corrections, deletions or destruction be communicated to third parties who received your data
