Privacy Notice

This English text is provided as a convenience translation. In case of any discrepancy, the Turkish version prevails.

This privacy notice has been prepared under Article 10 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK") to inform people who visit the artemhukuk.com website and use the appointment request form about how their personal data is processed.

1. Data controller

Artem Law, Consultancy and Mediation Office (the "Office"), Keleş Center, Kartaltepe, Malazgirt Cd. No:1 B Blok, No:2-4/1 D:26, 34145 Küçükçekmece / İstanbul.

2. Personal data we process

• Appointment request form: your name and surname, telephone number or e-mail address, the subject of the meeting, your preferred meeting format and time, and, optionally, the note you write and the information you select in the "Legal roadmap" tool.
• Technical data: for form security, an irreversibly hashed version of your IP address is kept on the server for a short time.
• Form verification (Cloudflare Turnstile): when you first touch the appointment form, Cloudflare, Inc.'s Turnstile verification is loaded to prevent automated misuse of the form; your IP address and technical information about your browser are then sent to Cloudflare. If you never use the form, no request is made to Cloudflare.
• Analytics data: only if you consent to cookies, statistical data about how you use the site (see the Cookie Policy).

Please do not write special categories of personal data (health, criminal convictions, etc.) in the note field; details of your matter are discussed in the meeting.

3. Purposes of processing and legal grounds

• Receiving your appointment request, contacting you and scheduling the meeting: the processing is directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract (KVKK Art. 5/2-c) and to the consent you give on the form.
• Preventing misuse of the form (spam, automated submissions): the legitimate interest of the data controller (KVKK Art. 5/2-f).
• Verifying the form against automated submissions with Cloudflare Turnstile: the legitimate interest of the data controller (KVKK Art. 5/2-f).
• Measuring site usage statistics: your explicit consent (KVKK Art. 5/1); you can withdraw your consent at any time through the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of the site.

4. Retention and transfer of data

Appointment requests are not saved to a database or file; they are only forwarded to the Office's e-mail address and deleted when the purpose of the communication ends. The hashed information kept for form security becomes invalid after 10 minutes at the latest. Your personal data is shared with e-mail and hosting service providers only to the extent necessary to provide the service. For form verification, technical data is transferred to Cloudflare, Inc. (USA), which processes it under its own privacy policy. If you consent, analytics data is transferred to Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC. Transfers abroad are made in accordance with KVKK Art. 9.

5. Your rights

Under KVKK Art. 11, you have the right to learn whether your personal data is processed; to request information if it has been processed; to learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used in line with that purpose; to know the third parties to whom it is transferred; to request correction if it is incomplete or inaccurate, and deletion or destruction; to request that these actions be notified to the third parties to whom the data was transferred; to object to a result against you arising from analysis exclusively by automated systems; and to claim compensation if you suffer damage due to unlawful processing.

You can submit your requests in writing to the address above, in accordance with the Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles of Application to the Data Controller. Requests are concluded free of charge within 30 days at the latest (KVKK Art. 13).
