KVKK Privacy Notice

1. Data we process

• Business information: business name and type, industry, city, goals, advertising details, website and digital accounts; competitors, if you named them in the form.
• Identity and contact: first and last name, email, phone and correspondence.
• Public business information: the website, Google Business Profile, social media accounts and published contact details of businesses we send promotional emails to, and the assessment we make from them.
• Consent and technical records: consent records (text version, time, IP address), the campaign information of the link you opened the form from, and the site's technical logs.

We don't ask for special categories of personal data (such as health, religious or biometric data); please don't share them in the form or in emails.

2. Purposes of processing

• To receive your assessment request, review your business's public digital presence and contact you about the results,
• To send businesses emails presenting the assessment we prepared from public information and our services,
• To answer your questions, and not to write again to anyone who has told us they don't want our emails,
• To keep the form and the site secure, and to be able to prove consent records,
• To meet our legal obligations and to establish, exercise or protect a right,
• To send campaign and news messages, if you have consented.

3. Legal grounds

Your data is processed on the following grounds under Article 5(2) of the KVKK: it is directly related to entering into a contract at your request (c), our legal obligation (ç), the data subject has made it public (d), establishing, exercising or protecting a right (e), and our legitimate interest, provided it does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms (f). Campaign and news messages are sent only with your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

4. How we collect data

We collect your data electronically: directly from you when you fill in the form or write to us, and, for businesses, from public sources such as websites, Google Maps and social media profiles, by automated or partly automated means. In the assessment, business accounts you didn't write in the form but that appear in public sources may also be saved as suggestions; our team checks them. We don't collect data in breach of platforms' terms of use.

5. Who we share it with

We don't sell your personal data. Limited to the purposes above, we share it with service providers that work on our instructions: Google (database, server and Google Maps services), Vercel (site hosting), Anthropic (AI-assisted analysis) and our email service provider. Where necessary, it may also be shared with our legal and financial advisers and, when required by law, with the competent public authorities.

6. Transfers abroad

Because these providers' servers are in the European Union and the United States, your data is transferred abroad. Transfers are made under standard contracts in line with Article 9 of the KVKK, and the contracts are notified to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority.

7. How long we keep it

We keep your data for as long as the purpose of processing requires and the law provides, then delete, destroy or anonymise it. If you have told us you don't want our emails, we keep only your address and the date of the request, so that we don't write to you again.

8. Your rights

Under Article 11 of the KVKK, you have the right to learn whether your data is processed and, if it is, to request information about it; to learn the purpose of processing and whether the data is used for that purpose; to know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom it is transferred; to ask for it to be corrected if it is incomplete or inaccurate, or to be deleted or destroyed, and for these actions to be notified to the third parties it was transferred to; to object to an outcome against you that results solely from analysis by automated systems; and to claim compensation if you suffer damage from unlawful processing.

9. Applications and contact

You can send your requests by email to info@askburniebee.com from the email address you have given us, or in writing to Küçükbakkalköy Mah. Selvili Sok. No: 4/20 Ataşehir / İstanbul, Türkiye. We conclude applications free of charge within 30 days at the latest; if the process involves an additional cost, the fee in the Board's tariff may be charged. If you find our answer insufficient, you can complain to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Board.

If you only want to stop receiving emails from us, the opt-out (RET) page is enough. When we update this notice, we publish the new version on this page.
