Your name, contact information, investment budget, property preferences and message content may be processed for the purposes of:

assessing your enquiry;
contacting you;
identifying suitable properties;
arranging meetings or consultations; and
providing information about the service you requested.

The legal basis for such processing is Article 5/2-(c) of the KVKK, where processing is necessary in connection with the establishment or performance of a contract, and, depending on the circumstances, Article 5/2-(f), concerning the legitimate interests of the Company.

Accordingly, separate general consent stating "I consent to the processing of my personal data" is not required merely in order for us to respond to your enquiry.

5.2 Provision of Services

Where a service relationship is established with the Company, personal data may be processed for:

providing the relevant service;
presenting property options;
arranging consultations and viewings;
coordinating purchase or investment transactions; and
coordinating the process with relevant professionals.

The legal basis is Article 5/2-(c) of the KVKK.

5.3 Legal and Regulatory Obligations

Personal data may be processed for:

tax purposes;
accounting;
maintenance of commercial records;
responding to requests from competent authorities;
compliance with legal obligations; and
prevention of fraud and unlawful activity.

The legal bases are Articles 5/2-(a) and 5/2-(ç) of the KVKK.

5.4 Protection of Legal Rights

Personal data may be processed for:

assessing legal claims;
protecting contractual rights;
resolving disputes;
litigation and enforcement proceedings; and
establishing, exercising or protecting the Company's legal rights.

The legal basis is Article 5/2-(e) of the KVKK.

5.5 Website Security

Technical and security data may be processed for:

maintaining Website security;
preventing misuse;
detecting cyberattacks; and
resolving technical problems.

Such processing may be based on Article 5/2-(f) of the KVKK, where necessary for the legitimate interests of the Company, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms of the relevant individual are not adversely affected.

5.6 Marketing and Commercial Electronic Communications

Marketing communications relating to campaigns, new properties, opportunities, investment content or similar matters may be sent through:

email;
SMS;
telephone;
WhatsApp; or
other electronic communication channels.

Where required by Law No. 6563 on the Regulation of Electronic Commerce and related legislation, prior consent will be obtained.

Marketing consent is not a condition of having a consultancy request assessed or receiving any service.

Approvals and opt-out records relating to commercial electronic communications may be managed through the Commercial Electronic Message Management System ("İYS") in accordance with applicable legislation.

An individual may withdraw marketing consent at any time.

6. Communication via WhatsApp

The Website may provide a link enabling users to contact the Company via WhatsApp.

Where a user voluntarily initiates a WhatsApp conversation by clicking this link, the user's contact details and message content may be processed for the purpose of responding to the enquiry.

However, the subsequent sending of advertising or marketing messages via WhatsApp is separately assessed under the legislation governing commercial electronic communications and, where required, prior consent will be obtained.

WhatsApp is a third-party service. WhatsApp and the companies providing the service may separately act as data controllers in relation to their own processing activities.

Users are not required to use WhatsApp and may contact the Company by email at info@yunanistaninvestments.com instead.

7. Transfer of Personal Data

Your personal data may be shared, to the extent required for the relevant transaction and in compliance with Articles 8 and 9 of the KVKK, with the following recipient groups:

property developers;
project companies;
cooperating real estate or consultancy companies;
Londonist-related entities in Greece;

authorised professionals involved in Golden Visa and immigration procedures;
information technology, hosting, CRM and communication service providers;
auditors and professional advisers;
courts;
law-enforcement authorities;
regulatory and administrative authorities; and
public bodies authorised by law.

Personal data will only be shared to the extent necessary for the relevant purpose.

8. Transfer of Personal Data Abroad

Since one of the Company's principal activities is the coordination of Greek property investments and Golden Visa procedures, certain transactions may require your personal data to be transferred to Greece or another country outside Türkiye.

Personal data will not be transferred abroad unless one of the conditions set out in Article 9 of the KVKK is satisfied.

Depending on the circumstances, an overseas transfer may be based on:

an adequacy decision issued by the Turkish Personal Data Protection Board;
one of the appropriate safeguards provided for in Article 9 of the KVKK;
standard contracts published by the Turkish Personal Data Protection Board;
binding corporate rules;
another appropriate safeguard subject to approval by the Board; or
one of the limited exceptional transfer grounds permitted by law.

Where standard contracts are used, the notifications required under applicable legislation will also be made to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority.

Where necessary, additional information will be provided to the relevant individual before a new or materially different overseas transfer is made.

9. Retention of Personal Data

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it is processed, in accordance with the general principles under Article 4 of the KVKK.

As a general approach:

general consultancy and investment enquiries that do not develop into a service relationship will ordinarily be retained for no longer than three years from the last active communication;
commercial, contractual, accounting and transaction records may be retained for the statutory limitation and retention periods applicable under relevant legislation;
records relating to disputes may be retained until the dispute and applicable legal periods have concluded;
marketing consent records may be retained for as long as the consent remains valid;
where a marketing opt-out has been made, a minimum suppression record may be retained for as long as legally permissible to ensure that the individual is not contacted again for marketing purposes; and
retention periods relating to cookies are set out in the Cookie Policy and Cookie Preference Centre.

Where the retention purpose ceases to exist, personal data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised in accordance with Article 7 of the KVKK and applicable secondary legislation.

10. Data Security

Under Article 12 of the KVKK, the Company takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to:

prevent unlawful processing of personal data;
prevent unlawful access to personal data; and
ensure the secure storage of personal data.

Depending on the nature of the data, such measures may include access controls, authorisation procedures, secure storage, secure transfers, backups, access logging, confidentiality obligations for employees and contractual data-security arrangements with service providers.

11. Your Rights Under the KVKK

Under Article 11 of the KVKK, you have the right to:

learn the purpose of processing and whether the data is being used in accordance with that purpose;

request correction of incomplete or inaccurate personal data;
request deletion or destruction of personal data where the legal conditions are satisfied;
request that correction or deletion be notified to third parties to whom the data has been transferred;
