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.
04
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 Ground
Typical 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.
05
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.
06
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 Group
Purpose
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.
Authorised public institutions, courts and authorities
Satisfy mandatory legal obligations, lawful official requests and
protect legal rights.
07
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.
08
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.
09
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.
10

a complaint is submitted to the Board, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.
13
Information Notice and Explicit Consent Are Separate
This KVKK Notice is intended to inform data subjects about processing
activities. Reading, receiving or acknowledging this Notice does
not constitute explicit consent.
The current contact-form acknowledgement that refers to the Privacy Policy
and KVKK Notice is treated as confirmation that the relevant information has
been presented and read. It is not treated as blanket consent for unrelated
marketing, optional cookies, profiling or international transfers.
Where OTELSAN requires explicit consent as the legal basis for a specific
processing activity, the consent request must be presented separately,
identify the specific processing concerned and allow the individual to make
a freely given choice.
Refusing or withdrawing consent should not prevent unrelated website or
business functions that can lawfully operate without that consent.
OTELSAN compliance principle:
an information notice informs the data subject; it does not obtain blanket
permission for all processing. Consent-dependent activities must be
assessed and presented separately.
14
Changes to This KVKK Notice
OTELSAN may revise this Notice where bonnaporcelain.com.tr, its forms,
Quote List functions, service providers, processing activities, legal
grounds, international-transfer arrangements or applicable legislation
materially change.
The current version and revision date are shown at the top of this page.
A new or materially different processing activity should be reflected in
the relevant information notice at or before the point at which personal
data is collected.
