It is important to process and preserve personal data and/or sensitive personal data in accordance with the Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (hereinafter referred to as "KVKK" or "Law"). For this reason, we as REPORTAGE TURKEY GAYRİMENKUL GELİŞTİRME YATIRIM SATIŞ PAZARLAMA TİCARET ANONİM ŞİRKETİ (hereinafter referred to as “REPORTAGE” or “Company”.) act in accordance with the KVKK regarding the protection, preservation and processing of your personal data and/or sensitive personal data. We often receive data from you on the internet. Personal data and/or sensitive personal data obtained and recorded during the visit of our website are processed in accordance with the Law on the Protection of Personal Data. In this regard, REPORTAGE, in the capacity of data controller, receives and preserves your data within legal limits. We would also like to point out that; all personal data and/or sensitive personal data obtained during the visit of our website are protected within the frame of our Privacy Policy. You can review our Privacy Policy, which you can find on our page, on the KVKK clarification text of our website via the link …. This clarification text has been prepared by REPORTAGE in the capacity of data controller within the scope of Article 10 of the Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data and the Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles to be Complied with in Fulfilling the Obligation to Clarify.

Personal data is expressed as “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person” in the Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data. As it can be understood from the definition, all kinds of information that makes you identifiable is personal data. In addition to all these, political thought, sect, race, religion, association-foundation membership, health information, philosophical thought, belief, sexual preference, criminal record, criminal conviction information, and biometric data are sensitive personal data.

The Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data envisages the disclosure of the persons whose data is processed before performing data processing. This consideration, which is regarded as Obligation to Inform, is stipulated, in Article 10 of the Law on Protection of Personal Data, as “During the acquisition of personal data, the data controller and the person authorized by it are obliged to inform the persons concerned about the identity of the data controller and its representative, if any, the purpose for which the personal data will be processed, who and for what purpose the processed personal data can be transferred, the method and legal reason for collecting personal data, their other rights listed in Article 11”. In Article 3 of this Law, the data controller is defined as “natural or legal persons who determine the purposes and means of processing personal data and are responsible for the establishment and management of the data recording system”. Again, the data processor is judged as “The natural or legal person who processes personal data on behalf of the data controller, based on the authority given by the data controller.” In this regard, the data controller is REPORTAGE, whose website you visit. The information of the data controller is as follows.
