Please do not submit confidential, sensitive or unnecessary personal information through the contact form. Submitting an enquiry through the website does not, by itself, establish an attorney-client relationship.

2. Personal Data We Collect

When you submit an enquiry through our contact form, we collect the personal data that you voluntarily provide, which may include:

• your first and last name;
• your e-mail address; and
• the information contained in your message.

We ask that you do not provide special categories of personal data or confidential information unless such information is necessary and you have been specifically requested to provide it.

3. Purposes of Processing

Personal data submitted through the contact form may be processed for the purposes of:

• receiving and reviewing your enquiry;
• communicating with you and responding to your request;
• assessing whether and how we may assist you in relation to your enquiry;
• managing potential conflicts of interest where necessary;
• establishing, exercising or protecting legal rights where necessary; and
• complying with applicable legal and professional obligations.

4. Legal Grounds for Processing

Depending on the nature of your enquiry, personal data submitted through the contact form may be processed on the basis of the applicable conditions set out in Article 5 of the KVKK, including where processing:

• is necessary for taking steps in connection with the establishment or performance of a contractual relationship;
• is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation;
• is necessary for the establishment, exercise or protection of a right; or
• is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided that such processing does not prejudice your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Where the processing of particular personal data requires explicit consent under applicable law, such data will only be processed on the basis of the appropriate legal ground and, where required, after obtaining explicit consent.

5. Disclosure and Transfer of Personal Data

Personal data submitted through the contact form will not be disclosed to third parties except where this is necessary for the purposes described in this Notice, required by law, necessary for the establishment, exercise or protection of legal rights, or required in connection with our professional obligations.

Where necessary and subject to applicable legal requirements, personal data may be shared with competent courts, public authorities, regulatory or supervisory bodies, service providers supporting our information technology and communications infrastructure, and other recipients where disclosure is legally permitted or required.

Any transfer of personal data outside Türkiye will be carried out in accordance with Article 9 of the KVKK and applicable legislation concerning international transfers of personal data.

6. Retention of Personal Data

Personal data submitted through the contact form is retained only for as long as necessary to review and respond to your enquiry and, where applicable, to comply with legal and professional obligations or to establish, exercise or protect legal rights.

Where an enquiry results in the establishment of an attorney-client relationship, the subsequent processing and retention of personal data will be governed by the requirements applicable to the relevant legal services and professional relationship.

Where no professional relationship is established, personal data will not be retained longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, subject to any applicable legal or professional retention requirements.

7. Professional Confidentiality

As attorneys, we are subject to professional confidentiality and secrecy obligations under applicable Turkish law, including the Attorneyship Law No. 1136.

However, submitting information through the contact form does not by itself establish an attorney-client relationship. You should therefore refrain from submitting confidential, sensitive or unnecessary information through the form unless specifically requested to do so.

8. Your Rights Under the KVKK

Pursuant to Article 11 of the KVKK, you may exercise your applicable rights concerning your personal data, including the rights to obtain information regarding processing, request correction or deletion where the relevant legal conditions are met, object to certain processing activities and request compensation for damages arising from unlawful processing.

Requests concerning your rights may be submitted to the data controllers using the contact details provided in Section 1, in accordance with the procedures prescribed under applicable data protection legislation.

9. Changes to This Notice

We may update this Contact Form Privacy Notice where necessary to reflect changes in our processing activities or applicable legislation.
