Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR – Legitimate interests (e.g. operation of a secure and functional website, communication with prospective clients)
3. Hosting and Server Log Files
Our website is hosted by an external service provider:
Kebirhost İnternet Hizmetleri
İnönü Mah. Sultangazi Cad. No:12, A4 Blok/18
Sancaktepe / İstanbul / Türkiye
Kebirhost provides infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space, and technical maintenance.
When you access this website, your browser automatically transmits information to the server of our hosting provider, which is stored in so-called server log files. This information includes, in particular:
- IP address of the requesting device
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the retrieved file
- Referrer URL (website from which access was made)
- Browser type and, where applicable, operating system
- Host name of the accessing device
This data is technically necessary in order to:
- ensure a stable connection,
- enable the use of the website,
- ensure system and IT security, and
- carry out error analysis in the event of security incidents.
Legal basis: Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure, stable, and efficient operation of the website).
Storage period: Log files are generally stored for 30 days and then deleted, unless longer storage is required to investigate security-related incidents.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Kebirhost pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.
Data Transfer to Third Countries (in particular Turkey)
Da der Hosting-Anbieter seinen Sitz in der Türkei hat, kann eine Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten außerhalb der EU/des EWR stattfinden. In diesem Fall stellen wir sicher, dass ein angemessenes Datenschutzniveau gemäß Art. 44 ff. DSGVO gewährleistet ist (z. B. durch EU-Standardvertragsklauseln oder vergleichbare Garantien).
4. Contact Requests (Contact Form, Email)
As the hosting provider is based in Turkey, personal data may be processed outside the EU/EEA. In such cases, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in accordance with Articles 44 et seq. GDPR, for example through EU Standard Contractual Clauses or comparable safeguards.
Purpose: Processing your inquiry and communication.
Legal bases:
- Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures / contractual relationship), where applicable
- Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries)
Storage period: We delete the data once it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected and no statutory retention obligations apply.

Depending on the design of the website, third-party services may be integrated (e.g. maps, videos, external fonts, social media plugins).
If such services process personal data (e.g. IP address, browser information) or set cookies, they are only integrated after you have given your consent via the cookie banner or through a two-click solution, where technically implemented.
Legal basis: Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent) or Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in an appealing presentation), depending on implementation.
(Assumption: Currently, no specific third-party providers are named. If services such as Google Maps, YouTube, or LinkedIn are integrated, the respective providers, purposes, and data transfers must be specified here.)
7. Recipients / Processors
We use service providers who process data on our behalf (e.g. hosting providers, IT service providers). These providers are contractually bound pursuant to Article 28 GDPR to process data only in accordance with our instructions and to implement appropriate security measures.
Data is only transferred to other recipients if this is necessary for contract performance, required by law, or if you have given your consent.

- EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or
- other appropriate safeguards.
