Privacy Policy

This English version is provided for information only. The Turkish text is the legally authoritative version.

This Privacy Policy summarises how data collected through the Kentkuran Hukuk ve Arabuluculuk website published under the kentkuranhukuk.com domain (the “Site”) is processed, with which third parties it is shared, and the rights of users. For a detailed KVKK (Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698) information notice, we also recommend reading the KVKK Information Notice page.

1. Data Controller

The data controller in respect of personal data processed through the Site is Kentkuran Hukuk ve Arabuluculuk. Contact: info@kentkuranhukuk.com / Koşuyolu Mah. Salih Omurtak Sok. No:42, Kadıköy / Istanbul.

2. Data Collected

a) Data you provide

  • Consultation request form: Full name, telephone number and address (required), email address (optional), your preferred meeting format, the subject of your request and the contents of any message you wish to send.
  • Career (job application) form: Full name, telephone number and email address (required), the position applied for, summary CV information and any document attachments.

b) Automatically collected data

  • Technical log records such as IP address, browser type, operating system, time of visit and pages viewed (at server level, for security and error-monitoring purposes).
  • Technical storage used to remember your preferences (for example, storage of your cookie preference in localStorage). See the Cookie Policy for details.

3. Third-Party Integrations

The Site uses a limited number of third-party services to provide its functionality:

  • Google LLC (Google Workspace / Gmail, United States): Forms on the Site are submitted to the Site's own server and delivered from there using Google email infrastructure: consultation and initial-meeting requests go to the firm's corporate addresses, while general contact messages and job applications go to the Google account of the person handling correspondence for the firm. The information you enter into the form fields is processed on Google's servers during that delivery.
  • Google Maps (Google LLC): The contact page map connects to Google only after you select “Load Google map”. Google may then process your IP address and browser data abroad and set cookies. The footer contains an external link only. The map can be closed by leaving the page; changing the cookie preference to “Essential Only” also removes the loaded map.
  • Mevzuat.gov.tr and other public sources: The references provided in the articles are external links only; you are directed to these sites at your own choice. Kentkuran Hukuk ve Arabuluculuk does not collect data through these sites.

The site does not use an advertising network or Meta Pixel. Google Analytics 4 loads only after “Accept” is selected. Measurement may involve unique cookie identifiers, device information and page data, so these data are not described as wholly anonymous. See the Cookie Policy for details.

4. Purposes of Use

  • To respond to your requests and applications.
  • To establish and maintain a representation or advisory relationship.
  • To evaluate job applications submitted for open positions.
  • To ensure the technical operation of the Site, security and error monitoring.
  • To fulfil retention and reporting obligations arising from legislation (Attorneyship Act, Turkish Code of Obligations (TBK), Tax Procedure Law).

5. Data Security

Kentkuran Hukuk ve Arabuluculuk takes reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss or disclosure. The Site is served over HTTPS; standard industry security measures are applied to email correspondence. The duty of client confidentiality under Article 36 of the Attorneyship Act (Avukatlık Kanunu m.36), together with KVKK, constitutes an additional layer of protection.

6. Retention Periods

The data collected is retained for as long as is required by the purpose of processing. For detailed periods, please review the “Retention Periods” section of the KVKK Information Notice.

7. User Rights

For all of your rights under KVKK m.11 (to be informed, to request correction, deletion, to object, to claim compensation), you may use the application channels set out in the KVKK Information Notice.

8. Children's Data

The site does not specifically target children. Legal requests may nevertheless involve a child’s data. Such data must be limited to what the legal matter requires and processed under the applicable legal basis and safeguards; unnecessary information is deleted subject to statutory obligations.

9. Updates to this Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as necessary. The current version is always accessible from this page. The publication date will be refreshed in the event of material changes, and such changes will be announced on the Site where required.
