Privacy notice under Turkish law (KVKK)
Because I work from Türkiye, Turkish data protection law (Law No. 6698, “KVKK”) applies to the personal data you send me. The full notice is in Turkish on the KVKK Aydınlatma Metni page. In short:
- Controller: Mustafa Soysal, independent civil engineer, Istanbul.
- Data: name, email, optional phone and company, the project details you send, and technical data used to stop spam.
- Purposes: replying to your enquiry, preparing a proposal, and if we work together, preparing and performing the service agreement.
- Legal bases: KVKK Article 5(2)(c) contract, (ç) legal obligation and (f) legitimate interest.
- Transfers: Cloudflare, Inc. for hosting, the form, spam protection and email forwarding, and Google LLC (Gmail) as my mailbox provider. Their servers may be outside Türkiye; transfers follow KVKK Article 9.
- Retention: enquiries that do not lead to work are deleted at the latest two years after they arrive.
- Your rights: the rights listed in KVKK Article 11, including access, correction and deletion. Write to the email address on the contact page.
