02What we process

We only process what you give us by email and the technical records the site needs to run:

Contact

The name and email address in your message; company, job title and phone if you include them.

Correspondence

The content of your email and our later correspondence.

Attachments

The STEP, DWG, Excel, PDF and similar files you attach. These are technical drawings, but title blocks, revision tables or file properties may contain people's names.

Connection

When you visit the site, the hosting server writes your IP address, the date and time, the requested page and browser details to its standard access logs. The site collects nothing else.

We do not ask for special categories of personal data such as health or biometric data; please keep such information out of your emails and attachments. If your attachments contain other people's details, make sure you are allowed to share them, or remove them before sending.

03Purposes and legal grounds

We process your data for the purposes below, on the legal grounds in Article 5 of the KVKK:

• KVKK 5/2-c

  Answering your question and, if needed, preparing a demo and sending a quote

  Processing is directly related to entering into a contract at your request (pre-contract stage).

• KVKK 5/2-f

  Running the site and email service securely and preventing abuse

  Our legitimate interest, provided it does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms.

• KVKK 5/2-e

  Checking correspondence after the enquiry is closed, in case of questions or disputes

  Necessary to establish, exercise or protect a right.

• KVKK 5/2-ç

  Keeping contract and invoice records if the job goes ahead

  A legal obligation under tax and commercial law.

Your data is collected electronically through the emails you send us. No separate consent is needed for this processing. We do not use your data for marketing, advertising or profiling, and we do not send newsletters.

04How long we keep it

• Your emails and attachments are deleted or anonymised 12 months after your enquiry is closed. An enquiry is closed when your question is answered, when the demo and quote are complete, or when you withdraw it.
• If the job goes ahead, contract and invoice records are kept for the period required by law (e.g. 10 years for commercial books and documents).
• Server access logs are kept for the hosting provider's technical retention period.

05Who we share it with

Hosting and email

DorukNet (Türkiye). The site and your emails are held on this provider's servers in Türkiye, as our data processor.

Public authorities

Only where there is a legal obligation or a request from a competent authority, to the extent the law allows.

Abroad: AI and cloud tools

If you send files by email, we may use AI and cloud storage tools with servers outside Türkiye (e.g. in the US and the EU) to process them. We never give these tools your contact details (name, email, phone, company); we remove personal details in the files (such as names in title blocks) as far as possible and process only the technical content. These transfers follow the rules in Article 9 of the KVKK.

Abroad: fonts

Fonts on the home page and robot pages are served from our own server. The template preview pages (/templates/ and /demo/) load fonts from Google Fonts (Google LLC, US); when you open those pages, your IP address and browser details are sent to Google.

We do not sell or rent your data, and we do not share it with anyone for advertising.

06Cookies and analytics

The site uses no cookies, analytics, advertising or tracking tools, so no cookie consent is requested. If this changes, we will update this notice first and ask for your consent where required.

07Your rights

1. a)learn whether your personal data is processed,
2. b)request information about it if it is,

8. h)object to a result against you that arises solely from automated analysis of your data,
9. i)claim compensation if you suffer damage from unlawful processing.
