Hereinafter referred to as “Patrion” or the “Company,” PATRİON İLERİ TEKNOLOJİ SİSTEMLERİ A.Ş has adopted the principle of ensuring the confidentiality of the information shared by individuals visiting its website. Accordingly, this "Privacy Policy" has been created to inform you, in accordance with Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (“Law”), decisions of the Personal Data Protection Board (“Board”), and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), about which information is collected, how it is processed, which third parties it may be shared with lawfully and with your consent, and how it is protected by the Company.
Additionally, within the scope of this Privacy and Cookie Policy, it explains how you can verify the accuracy of this information and, if desired, request the deletion of your data via the Company’s website. All services provided to individuals through any channel by the Company will be referred to collectively as “Service.” By visiting and continuing to use this website and requesting to benefit from the services offered through it, you accept the terms set forth in this "Privacy and Cookie Policy."
Personal data is defined in Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data as “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.” As the definition indicates, any information that makes you identifiable constitutes personal data. In addition, political opinions, sect, race, religion, association or foundation memberships, health information, philosophical beliefs, convictions, sexual orientation, criminal records, conviction information, and biometric data are considered special categories of personal data.
Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data requires that individuals whose data will be processed be informed prior to any data processing activities. This disclosure obligation is regulated under Article 10 of the Personal Data Protection Law, which states: “During the collection of personal data, the data controller and the authorized person shall inform the relevant individuals about the identity of the data controller and, if applicable, its representative, the purposes of processing the personal data, to whom and for what purpose the processed personal data may be transferred, the method and legal basis of data collection, and the other rights listed in Article 11.”
Article 3 of the Law defines a data controller as “real or legal persons who determine the purposes and means of processing personal data and are responsible for establishing and managing the data recording system.” A data processor is defined as “a real or legal person who processes personal data on behalf of the data controller based on the authority granted by the data controller.”
In this context, your personal data is processed by PATRİON İLERİ TEKNOLOJİ SİSTEMLERİ A.Ş, registered with the İzmir Trade Registry Office under MERSIS number 0723091167400001 and headquartered at Gülbahçe Mah.
