Veri koruma yasaları altında güvenli olmayan üçüncü ülkelere veri transferi ve DPF (AB-ABD Veri Gizliliği Çerçevesi) sertifikası olmayan ABD şirketlerine veri transferi hakkında bilgi

Üçüncü ülkelerde veri koruma yasaları gereği güvenli olmayan ülkelerde bulunan şirketlerin teknolojilerini kullanıyoruz ve ayrıca AB-ABD Veri Gizliliği Çerçevesi (DPF) altında sertifikalı olmayan ABD şirketlerinin araçlarını da kullanıyoruz. Bu araçlar etkinleştirildiğinde, kişisel verileriniz bu ülkelere aktarılabilir ve bu ülkelerde işlenebilir. Üçüncü ülkelerde, veri koruma yasaları açısından AB ile karşılaştırılabilir bir veri koruma seviyesi garanti edilemeyeceğini lütfen dikkate alınız.

ABD genellikle, AB ile karşılaştırılabilir bir veri koruma seviyesine sahip güvenli bir üçüncü ülke olarak kabul edilmektedir. Dolayısıyla, veri alıcısı AB-ABD Veri Gizliliği Çerçevesi (DPF) altında sertifikalı veya uygun ek güvencelere sahipse, veri transferi ABD’ye yapılabilir. Üçüncü ülkelere veri aktarımı, veri alıcıları dahil olmak üzere bu Gizlilik Politikası’nda yer alan bilgilerde bulunabilir.

Kişisel verilerin alıcıları

İş faaliyetlerimiz kapsamında çeşitli dış taraflarla iş birliği yapıyoruz. Bazı durumlarda bu, kişisel verilerin bu dış taraflara aktarılmasını gerektirebilir. Kişisel verileri yalnızca sözleşme yerine getirilmesi gerektiğinde, yasal olarak bu gereklilik varsa (örneğin, vergi otoritelerine veri açıklaması), GDPR’nin 6(1)(f) maddesi uyarınca açıklama yapmamız gerekiyorsa veya başka bir yasal dayanak veri açıklamasına izin veriyorsa dış taraflara açıklıyoruz. Veri işleyicilerini kullanırken, müşterilerimizin kişisel verilerini yalnızca geçerli bir veri işleme sözleşmesi temelinde açıklıyoruz. Ortak işleme durumunda ise ortak işleme anlaşması yapılır.

Veri işleme izninizin geri çekilmesi

Birçok veri işleme işlemi yalnızca açık onayınıza tabidir. Önceden verdiğiniz herhangi bir onayı istediğiniz zaman geri çekebilirsiniz. Bu, geri çekmenizden önce gerçekleşen veri toplamanın yasallığına zarar vermez.

Veri toplama konusunda özel durumlarda itiraz hakkı; doğrudan reklama karşı itiraz hakkı (GDPR Madde 21)

IFADE EDİLEN VERİ, ART. 6(1)(E) YA DA (F) GDPR’YE DAYALI OLARAK İŞLENİYORSA, KENDİ BENZER DURUMUNUZDAN KAYNAKLANAN NEDENLERE DAYALI OLARAK KİŞİSEL VERİLERİNİZİN İŞLENMESİNE HER ZAMAN İTİRAZ HAKKINA SAHİPSİNİZ. BU DURUM AYNI ZAMANDA BU HÜKÜMLERE DAYALI PROFİLLER İÇİN DE GEÇERLİDİR. VERİNİN İŞLENMESİNİN DAYANDIĞI HUKUKİ DAYANAĞI TESPİT ETMEK İÇİN LÜTFEN BU VERİ KORUMA BEYANINA BAŞVURUN. İTİRAZDA BULUNURSANIZ, ETKİLENEN KİŞİSEL VERİLERİNİZİ ARTIK İŞLEMEYECEĞİZ, EĞER VERİLERİNİZİN İŞLENMESİ İÇİN SİZİN ÇIKARLARINIZI, HAKLARINIZI VE ÖZGÜRLÜKLERİNİZİ AĞIRLIKLI OLARAK ÜSTÜN KILAN ZORUNLU KORUMA DEĞERLİ NEDENLERİ SUNMAK İÇİN BİR KONUMDA DEĞİLSEK YA DA İŞLEMİN AMACI HUKUKİ HAKLARIN İLERLETTİRİLMESİ, KULLANILMASI YA DA SAVUNULMASI İSE (ART. 21(1) GDPR İTİRAZ).

EĞER KİŞİSEL VERİLERİNİZ DOĞRUDAN REKLAMCILIK İÇİN İŞLENİYORSA, BU TÜR REKLAMCILIK AMAÇLARI İÇİN ETKİLENEN KİŞİSEL VERİLERİNİZİN İŞLENMESİNE HER ZAMAN İTİRAZ ETME HAKKINA SAHİPSİNİZ. BU DURUM AYNI ZAMANDA BU DOĞRUDAN REKLAMCILIKLA İLİŞKİLİ PROFİLLER İÇİN DE GEÇERLİDİR. İTİRAZ EDİYORSANIZ, KİŞİSEL VERİLERİNİZ SONUÇ OLARAK DAHA SONRA DOĞRUDAN REKLAMCILIK AMAÇLARI İÇİN KULLANILMAYACAKTIR (ART. 21(2) GDPR İTİRAZ).

Şikayetimi ilgili denetim kurumuna iletmek hakkı

GDPR ihlalleri durumunda, veri konuları, özellikle ikamet ettikleri üye devlet, çalışma yeri veya iddia edilen ihlalin meydana geldiği yerdeki ilgili denetim kurumuna şikayette bulunma hakkına sahiptirler. Şikayet hakkı, diğer idari veya yargısal başvuru yollarının varlığından bağımsız olarak geçerlidir.

Veri taşınabilirliği hakkı

Onayınıza dayanarak veya bir sözleşmenin yerine getirilmesi amacıyla otomatik olarak işlediğimiz verilerin, sizin veya istediğiniz üçüncü bir tarafa, ortak, makine tarafından okunabilir bir formatta aktarılmasını talep etme hakkınız vardır. Verilerin doğrudan başka bir veri sorumlusuna aktarılmasını talep ederseniz, bu ancak teknik olarak mümkün olması durumunda gerçekleştirilir.

Verilerin düzeltilmesi ve yok edilmesi hakkında bilgi

Geçerli yasal düzenlemeler kapsamında, arşivlenmiş kişisel verileriniz hakkında bilgi talep etme hakkınız bulunmaktadır. Bu verilerin kaynağı, alıcıları ve verilerinizin işlenme amacı hakkında her zaman bilgi isteme hakkınız vardır. Ayrıca verilerinizin düzeltilmesi veya silinmesi talebinde bulunma hakkınız olabilir. Bu konuyla ilgili veya kişisel verilerle ilgili başka herhangi bir sorunuz varsa, her zaman bizimle iletişime geçmekten çekinmeyiniz.

İşleme kısıtlamaları talep etme hakkı

Kişisel verilerinizin işlenmesiyle ilgili olarak işleme sınırlaması talebinde bulunma hakkınız bulunmaktadır. Bunun için her zaman bizimle iletişime geçebilirsiniz. İşleme sınırlaması talep etme hakkı aşağıdaki durumlarda geçerlidir:

  • Eğer tarafımızca arşivlenen verilerinizin doğruluğunu tartışma konusu yaparsanız, genellikle bu iddiayı doğrulamak için zaman gerekecektir. Bu süreç devam ederken, kişisel verilerinizin işlenmesini sınırlamamızı talep etme hakkınız bulunmaktadır.
  • Kişisel verilerinizin işlenmesi yasadışı bir şekilde gerçekleştirildiyse/halen gerçekleştiriliyorsa, bu verilerin silinmesini talep etmek yerine verilerinizin işlenmesinin sınırlanmasını talep etme seçeneğiniz bulunmaktadır.
  • Eğer artık kişisel verilerinize ihtiyacımız yoksa ve bunları kullanarak yasal haklarınızı kullanmanız, savunmanız veya talepte bulunmanız gerekiyorsa, verilerinizin silinmesi yerine işlenmesinin sınırlanmasını talep etme hakkınız bulunmaktadır.
  • Eğer GDPR’nin 21(1). maddesi uyarınca itirazda bulunduysanız, haklarınız ve bizim haklarımız birbirine karşı tartılacaktır. Hangi tarafın çıkarlarının üstün olduğu belirlenene kadar, kişisel verilerinizin işlenmesinin sınırlanmasını talep etme hakkınız bulunmaktadır.

Kişisel verilerinizin işlenmesini sınırlamışsanız, bu veriler – arşivlenmeleri dışında – ancak sizin izniniz veya yasal haklarınızı talep etmek, kullanmak veya savunmak veya diğer doğal kişilerin veya hukuki kişilerin haklarını korumak veya Avrupa Birliği veya bir AB üye devleti tarafından belirtilen önemli kamu çıkarları için işlenebilir.

SSL ve/veya TLS şifreleme

Güvenlik nedenleri ve size web sitesi işletmecisi olarak sunduğunuz satın alma siparişleri veya sorular gibi hassas içeriğin iletilmesini korumak için, bu web sitesi SSL veya TLS şifreleme programını kullanmaktadır. Şifreli bir bağlantıyı, tarayıcının adres çubuğunun “http://”den “https://”e geçip ayrıca tarayıcı çubuğundaki kilit simgesinin görünüp görünmediğini kontrol ederek tanıyabilirsiniz.

SSL veya TLS şifrelemesi etkinleştirildiğinde, bize ilettiğiniz veriler üçüncü taraflar tarafından okunamaz.

İstenmeyen e-postaların reddedilmesi

Aşağıda yer alan iletişim bilgilerimizin, İnternet sitesinde yayımlanan yasal zorunlu bilgilerle birlikte, bize açıkça talep etmediğimiz tanıtım ve bilgi materyalleri göndermek için kullanılmasına itiraz ediyoruz. Bu web sitesinin işletmecileri olarak, örneğin SPAM mesajları aracılığıyla gönderilen istenmeyen tanıtım bilgileri durumunda yasal işlem başlatma hakkını saklı tutuyoruz.

4. Bu web sitesindeki verilerin kaydedilmesi

Çerezler

Web sitemiz ve sayfalarımız, endüstri tarafından “çerezler” olarak adlandırılan teknolojiyi kullanmaktadır. Çerezler, cihazınıza herhangi bir zarar vermeden küçük veri paketleridir. İki türde olabilirler: oturum süresince geçici olarak depolanırlar (oturum çerezleri) veya cihazınızda kalıcı olarak arşivlenirler (kalıcı çerezler). Oturum çerezleri, ziyaretinizi sonlandırdığınızda otomatik olarak silinirler. Kalıcı çerezler ise cihazınızda aktif olarak silinene kadar veya web tarayıcınız tarafından otomatik olarak silinene kadar arşivlenmeye devam ederler.

Çerezler tarafımızdan (birinci taraf çerezleri) veya üçüncü taraf şirketler tarafından (sözde üçüncü taraf çerezleri) oluşturulabilir. Üçüncü taraf çerezleri, üçüncü taraf şirketlerin belirli hizmetlerini web sitelerine entegre etmeye olanak tanır (örneğin, ödeme hizmetleri için çerezler).

Çerezlerin çeşitli işlevleri bulunmaktadır. Birçok çerez teknik olarak esastır çünkü bu çerezler olmadan belirli web sitesi işlevleri çalışmaz (örneğin, alışveriş sepeti işlevi veya videoların gösterimi). Diğer çerezler ise kullanıcı davranışlarını analiz etmek veya tanıtım amaçları için kullanılabilir.

Elektronik iletişim işlemlerinin performansı için gereken çerezler, kullanmak istediğiniz belirli işlevlerin sağlanması için gereken çerezler (örneğin, alışveriş sepeti işlevi için) veya web sitesinin optimizasyonu için gerekli olan çerezler (gereken çerezler) gibi, çeşitli işlevleri yerine getirmek için kullanılır. Bu çerezler, farklı bir hukuki dayanak gösterilmedikçe GDPR’nin 6(1)(f) maddesi uyarınca saklanır. Web sitesinin işletmecisinin, hizmetlerinin teknik olarak hatasız ve optimize edilmiş bir şekilde sunulmasını sağlamak için gereken çerezlerin saklanmasında meşru bir çıkarı bulunmaktadır. Eğer çerezlerin ve benzeri tanıma teknolojilerinin saklanmasına yönelik olarak sizden onay istenmişse, işleme yalnızca elde edilen onay temelinde (GDPR’nin 6(1)(a) maddesi ve TDDDG’nin 25(1) maddesi) gerçekleştirilir; bu onay her zaman geri alınabilir.

Tarayıcınızı öyle bir şekilde ayarlayabilirsiniz ki, her zaman çerezler yerleştirildiğinde bildirim alırsınız ve yalnızca belirli durumlarda çerezleri kabul edersiniz. Ayrıca, belirli durumlarda veya genel olarak çerezleri kabul etmeyi reddedebilir veya tarayıcı kapanırken çerezlerin otomatik olarak silinmesi işlevini etkinleştirebilirsiniz. Çerezler devre dışı bırakılırsa, bu web sitesinin işlevleri sınırlı olabilir.

Bu web sitesinde hangi çerezler ve hizmetlerin kullanıldığına dair bilgiyi bu gizlilik politikasında bulabilirsiniz.

Server log files

The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:

  • The type and version of browser used
  • The used operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • The hostname of the accessing computer
  • The time of the server inquiry
  • The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technically error free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods.

Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Communication via WhatsApp

For communication with our customers and other third parties, one of the services we use is the instant messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

The communication is encrypted end-to-end (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to the communication content. However, WhatsApp does gain access to metadata created during the communication process (for example, sender, recipient, and time). We would also like to point out that WhatsApp has stated that it shares personal data of its users with its U.S.-based parent company Meta. Further details on data processing can be found in the WhatsApp privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as possible with customers, interested parties and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If a corresponding consent has been requested, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of the consent; this consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

The communication content exchanged between you and us on WhatsApp remains with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for which the data is stored ceases to apply (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

The company is certified in accordance with the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the US, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the US. Every company certified under the DPF is obliged to comply with these data protection standards. For more information, please contact the provider under the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt00000011sfnAAA&status=Active.

We use WhatsApp in the “WhatsApp Business” variant.

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum?lang=en.

We have set up our WhatsApp accounts in such a way that there is no automatic synchronization of data with the address book on the smartphones in use.

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider.

Google Calendar

On our website, you have the option to set up appointments with our company. For planning purposes, we use Google Calendar. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”).

To make reservations for an appointment, you will enter the requested data and your preferred meeting date into the dedicated screen. The data you enter will be used to plan, conduct, and possibly also follow up on the appointment. The appointment information will be stored on the servers of Google Calendar on our behalf. You may review the company’s data protection policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

The data recorded in this manner will be stored until you ask us to delete them, revoke your consent to the archiving of your data or until the purpose of archiving the data no longer exists. This does not affect mandatory statutory provisions – in particular those governing retention periods.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in ensuring that appointments with customers and prospective customers can be scheduled as easily as possible.

10. Custom Services

Handling applicant data

We offer website visitors the opportunity to submit job applications to us (e.g., via e-mail, via postal services on by submitting the online job application form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you in conjunction with the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and all other statutory provisions and that your data will always be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of the collection of data

If you submit a job application to us, we will process any affiliated personal data (e.g., contact and communications data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the establishment or an employment relationship. The legal grounds for the aforementioned are § 26 BDSG according to German Law (Negotiation of an Employment Relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (General Contract Negotiations) and – provided you have given us your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke any consent given at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals who are involved in the processing of your job application.

If your job application should result in your recruitment, the data you have submitted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship in our data processing system.

Data Archiving Period

If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterwards the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agreement (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the deletion.

Admission to the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, you may be able to join our applicant pool. In case of admission, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.

Admission to the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The submission agreement is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application procedure. The affected person can revoke his agreement at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal reasons for storage.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.
