What this website collects, why, where it goes, and what you can ask us to do about it.

How we collect it
From you, when you fill in a form, book a call or write to us. And automatically, through the server's access log, when you load a page.
Who receives it
| Recipient | What it receives, and why | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Cal.eu | What you enter on the booking page, to schedule the call. | European Union |
| Google (Gmail) | Emails you send us, including messages written with the contact form. | United States and other countries |
| Hostinger | The access log, to serve the site. | Germany |
| Amazon SES | Your email address and the newsletter itself, to deliver it. The subscriber list is kept on our own server. | [AWS region] |
We do not sell personal data and we do not share it for advertising.
We may have to hand data to a public authority when the law requires it.
Transfers outside Türkiye
Cal.eu stores booking data in the European Union. Google handles our email in the United States and in other countries. The site and the newsletter list are on a Hostinger server in Germany, and the newsletter is delivered through Amazon SES. All four are transfers abroad under Article 9 of the KVKK.
[Not in place yet: an Article 9 safeguard for these four providers, such as the Authority's standard contract. This paragraph has to say what is really in place before the page goes live.]
Your rights
Under Article 11 of the KVKK you can ask us:
- whether we process personal data about you, and for information about it if we do;
- why it is processed, and whether it is used for that purpose;
- who it has been transferred to, in Türkiye or abroad;
- to correct it if it is incomplete or wrong;
- to erase or destroy it when the reason for processing no longer exists;
- to tell the third parties it was transferred to about a correction or an erasure;
- to object to a result that works against you and was reached only by automated analysis;
- to compensate you for damage caused by unlawful processing.
