3.PROCESSING AND TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA
3.1General Principles in the Processing and Transfer of Personal Data
Personal data is processed by our Company in accordance with the procedures and principles stipulated in the Law and in this Policy. Our Company complies with the following principles when processing personal data.
3.1.1Compliance with the Law and the Rules of Good Faith
Our Company processes personal data in accordance with the relevant legislation and the requirements of the rule of good faith and uses it within these limits. Pursuant to the principle of compliance with the rule of good faith, our Company takes into account the interests and reasonable expectations of the relevant persons while trying to achieve its objectives in data processing. It acts in a way that prevents the occurrence of results that the relevant person does not expect and should not be expected to expect. Pursuant to the principle, it also ensures that the data processing activity in question is transparent for the relevant person and acts in accordance with its obligations to inform and warn.
3.1.2Being Accurate and, Where Necessary, Up to Date
Taking into account the fundamental rights and legitimate interests of the relevant persons, our Company ensures that the personal data it processes is accurate and up to date. In this context, it carefully considers matters such as the sources from which the data is obtained being specific, the accuracy of the data being verified and whether the data needs to be updated being assessed. Pursuant to its active duty of care, our Company always keeps open the channels that will ensure that the personal data subject’s information is accurate and up to date. Keeping personal data accurate and up to date is necessary not only to protect our Company’s interests but also to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of the relevant person.
3.1.3Processing for Specific, Explicit and Legitimate Purposes
Our Company determines the purpose of data processing clearly and precisely and ensures that this purpose is legitimate. The purpose being legitimate means that the personal data processed by our Company is connected with and necessary for the work it carries out or the service it provides. Our Company does not process data for purposes other than these stated purposes. Accordingly, it is meticulous in complying with the principle of specificity and clarity in the legal transactions and texts in which the purposes of processing personal data are explained.
3.1.4Being Relevant, Limited and Proportionate to the Purposes for Which They Are Processed
Our Company ensures that the personal data processed is suitable for achieving the determined purposes and avoids processing data that is not related to or not needed for achieving the purpose. Our Company does not collect or process personal data for purposes that do not currently exist and are expected to arise later. In order to process data to meet needs that are likely to arise later, it fulfils the processing conditions regulated in the Law as if it were starting processing for the first time. In addition, it limits the processed data only to what is necessary for achieving the purpose. Within the scope of the principle of proportionality, it establishes a reasonable balance between data processing and the purpose intended to be achieved.
3.1.5Being Retained for the Period Stipulated in the Relevant Legislation or Necessary for the Purpose for Which They Are Processed
If there is a period stipulated in the relevant legislation for the retention of data, our Company complies with these periods; otherwise, it retains personal data only for the period necessary for the purpose for which they are processed. If there is no valid reason for a personal data to be stored further by our Company, the data in question is erased, destroyed or anonymized. The procedures for the retention and destruction of personal data are regulated in detail in our Company’s Personal Data Retention and Destruction Policy.
3.2Conditions for Processing Personal Data
