Current technical review identified Google-hosted font resources and, on the Corporate export-network functionality, an externally hosted D3.js script.

Collection Methods

Personal data may be collected wholly or partly by automated means through website contact and quotation forms, Quote List functions, project-file uploads, cookies and similar technologies, consent-preference tools, server/security infrastructure, email systems and external resources used by bonnaporcelain.com.tr.

Data may also be processed by non-automated means where information obtained through telephone calls, correspondence, quotations, project documents, logistics processes or other business communications becomes part of a data-recording system.

Information is generally obtained directly from the data subject. Where relevant and lawful, it may also be received from the organisation or authorised representative on whose behalf the person communicates, commercial partners involved in a project or legitimate publicly available business sources.

Legal Grounds for Processing

The processing condition applicable to each activity is assessed according to its purpose and circumstances. OTELSAN does not treat explicit consent as a general or default basis for all processing.

Legal GroundTypical Application
KVKK Article 5/2(c) — Contract necessity Processing directly necessary for the establishment or performance of a contract or for requested steps connected with a potential commercial relationship.
KVKK Article 5/2(ç) — Legal obligation Processing required to meet tax, accounting, commercial, customs, regulatory or other mandatory legal obligations.
KVKK Article 5/2(e) — Establishment, exercise or protection of a right Processing necessary for evidential records, complaints, disputes, receivables, claims or the protection of legal rights.
KVKK Article 5/2(f) — Legitimate interests Proportionate processing for legitimate interests such as responding to professional enquiries, maintaining appropriate business records and protecting website or information security, provided the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not harmed.
KVKK Article 5/1 — Explicit consent Processing activities for which valid explicit consent is required because no other applicable processing condition exists, including certain optional website technologies where required by law.

Special Categories of Personal Data

OTELSAN does not ordinarily request special-category personal data through general website contact, Quote List or quotation forms.

Special categories under Article 6 of the KVKK include data concerning race, ethnic origin, political opinion, philosophical belief, religion, sect or other beliefs, clothing and appearance, association, foundation or trade-union membership, health, sexual life, criminal convictions and security measures, biometric data and genetic data.

Visitors should not submit such information through ordinary website forms or project attachments unless OTELSAN has specifically requested the information for a lawful and necessary purpose.

If special-category personal data is exceptionally processed, OTELSAN must apply an appropriate processing condition under Article 6 and the additional administrative and technical measures required by applicable law.

Recipients and Transfer Purposes

Personal data may be transferred only to the extent necessary for an applicable purpose and lawful basis. Depending on the relevant activity, recipient groups may include:

Recipient GroupPurpose
Authorised OTELSAN personnel Evaluate enquiries, prepare quotations, administer projects, operate the website and manage commercial communication.
Hosting, website, security, email, form, Quote List and IT providers Provide infrastructure, maintenance, security, backup, email delivery, website operation and technical support where applicable.
External resource providers Deliver externally hosted website resources where the current website configuration causes the visitor's browser to connect to that provider.
Suppliers, project partners, distributors and representatives Evaluate or perform a housekeeping, cleaning-equipment or other hospitality project-related request where necessary.
Logistics, freight and customs partners Plan or perform international deliveries, customs operations and associated commercial processes where relevant.
Professional advisers and insurers Accounting, audit, legal advice, risk management, insurance, disputes and regulatory compliance.
Authorised public institutions, courts and authorities Satisfy mandatory legal obligations, lawful official requests and protect legal rights.

International Transfers of Personal Data

Certain website and business activities may involve technical infrastructure or recipients located outside Türkiye.

In the current technical review of bonnaporcelain.com.tr, the tested homepage made a request to Google-hosted font infrastructure before an optional cookie preference was submitted. In addition, the Corporate export-network feature loads an externally hosted D3.js resource from d3js.org. These browser connections may transmit technical connection information, including IP address and browser/device information, to external infrastructure.

International transfers may also arise where an overseas supplier, distributor, logistics provider, project partner or other recipient must receive information in connection with a specific international business request or commercial transaction.

Transfers falling within Article 9 of the KVKK must be carried out only where a transfer mechanism permitted by the law is available. Depending on the circumstances, this may include an adequacy decision, an appropriate safeguard such as an applicable standard contract, another recognised safeguard, or a statutory exceptional transfer mechanism where its specific conditions are met.

Where explicit consent is legally relied upon for a specific transfer, that consent must be obtained separately and cannot be inferred merely from visiting bonnaporcelain.com.tr, acknowledging this Notice or submitting an unrelated website form.

Operational control: the applicable Article 9 transfer mechanism must correspond to the actual provider, recipient and data flow in use at the relevant time. Changes to external resources, hosting, email, communication, logistics or other international providers require this section to be reviewed.

Retention, Deletion and Destruction

Personal data is retained only for the period necessary for the relevant processing purpose and for any period required by applicable law.

When establishing an appropriate retention period, OTELSAN may consider the duration of an enquiry, quotation, project or customer relationship; applicable accounting, tax, commercial and customs obligations; warranty or claim periods; limitation periods; information-security requirements; and legal preservation obligations.

When the reasons requiring processing cease to exist, personal data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised in accordance with the KVKK, applicable secondary legislation and the relevant OTELSAN procedures.

Backup or archival copies, where used, should be handled through the applicable retention lifecycle and removed or overwritten in accordance with technical procedures unless continued preservation is legally required.

Personal-Data Security Measures

OTELSAN applies administrative and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the relevant processing activity and associated risk.

Depending on the applicable system, measures may include access restrictions, authentication, secure transmission, software and security updates, backups, service-provider controls, confidentiality obligations and incident handling.

Website forms, uploaded project files and technical logs may contain personal data. Such information should not be exposed through publicly accessible or unrestricted logs, and access should be limited to authorised persons or service providers that require it for the relevant operational, security or legal purpose.

The exact logging, storage and retention configuration of the website, hosting environment, mail systems and security tools must remain subject to periodic technical review.
