Data controller

The data controller with respect to the personal data processed on this website is Muhammed Abdullah Türkkan, Attorney at Law.

Address: Kuştepe Mah. Mecidiyeköy Yolu Cad. No: 12 Kat: 28 Daire: 05, Şişli / İstanbul 34387 · Email: selam@turkkanlawfirm.com

This notice has been prepared pursuant to Article 10 of Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (6698 sayılı Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanunu) and covers only the operations carried out through this website.

What data we process and why

Communication by email. When you write to us, the information contained in the message you send — your name, your email address and what you write. It is used to assess and respond to your request. Its legal basis is the establishment and exercise of a right, and our legitimate interest.

Technical records. The IP address, browser and visit information generated on our server when you access the site. They are kept to ensure the security and proper functioning of the site. Visit measurement (only with your consent). If you consent to Google Analytics cookies, the pages you visit, where you came to the site from, the length of your visit, your approximate location (country, city), device and browser information, the terms you type in the site search, clicks on contact links and online identifiers are processed. The purpose is to measure how the site is used and to improve it. The legal basis is your explicit consent (Article 5(1) of the Law); you can withdraw your consent at any time. Details are in the Cookie Policy.

There are no forms on this site — neither a contact form nor a newsletter subscription. No data is collected through forms.

Who we share your data with

Your personal data is not sold and is not transferred to third parties for marketing purposes.

We use three service providers for the operation of the site, our corporate email and visit measurement. They access your data only to the extent that the service requires:

ServiceProviderData accessed
Website hostingHostingerTechnical records: IP address, browser and visit information
Corporate emailGoogle (Google Workspace)The content of the message you write to us, your name and your email address
Visit measurement (only with your consent)Google (Google Analytics)Pages visited, source of visit, device and browser information, online identifiers

In addition, data may be shared, to the extent provided for by the legislation, upon a duly made request by public authorities authorised by law.

Cross-border transfer

The servers of all three providers above are outside Türkiye (the server hosting the site is in France). As a result, the site's technical records, email correspondence and, if you have consented, visit measurement data are processed abroad:

ProviderData transferred abroad
Hostinger — website hostingIP address, browser and visit information
Google Workspace — corporate emailThe content of email correspondence
Google Analytics — visit measurement (only with your consent)Visit and device information, online identifiers

The data transferred is limited to the minimum necessary for the service to be provided; the site and email cannot operate otherwise. These providers do not use the data for their own purposes.

Legal status of the cross-border transfer. Work is under way to make the above transfers subject to appropriate safeguards under Article 9 of Law No. 6698. When standard contracts are concluded, this notice will be updated and the date of conclusion will be stated here.

The fonts used on the site are also served from our own server, and when you open a page your browser connects to no address other than turkkanlawfirm.com unless you have consented to Google Analytics.

How long we keep data

Email correspondence: the minimum period prescribed by the relevant legislation; where the legislation prescribes no period, three years from the end of the process.

Technical records: the minimum period prescribed by the relevant legislation; where the legislation prescribes no period, three years.

Visit measurement data: 14 months in Google Analytics; the cookies remain in your browser for no more than 13 months.

Where the legislation prescribes a longer retention period, that period applies. When the period expires, the data is erased, destroyed or anonymised.
