2. Categories of Personal Data
The categories of personal data processed through our website are:
Identity: the first and last name you provide in the contact form
Contact: your email address and, if you provide it, your phone number
Enquiry data: company name, enquiry type, estimated quantity, message subject and message content
Transaction security: your IP address, submission date and time, session cookie data
Analytics (cookieless and anonymous): page path, browser and device information, approximate location at country/city level
Analytics (with explicit consent): the data above processed together with a cookie identifier
We do not request special categories of personal data (such as health, belief or biometric data). Please do not include such information in your message.
3. Purposes of Processing
Your personal data is processed for the following purposes:
Assessing and responding to the requests, questions and complaints you submit via the contact form
Conducting preliminary discussions regarding wholesale, sample and partnership requests
Planning and carrying out our commercial activities and communication processes
Operating information security processes and preventing misuse and automated submissions
Measuring aggregate site use with Google Analytics so we can improve the site, and measuring it per session if you give explicit consent
Providing information to authorised persons, institutions and organisations as required by legislation
4. Collection Method and Legal Basis
Your personal data is collected electronically and by automated means when you complete the contact form, reach us by email or phone, or browse the site.
Contact and security data is processed on the following legal bases set out in Article 5(2) of the Law:
5/2-c: processing is directly related to the conclusion or performance of a contract — for your wholesale and partnership discussions
5/2-ç: processing is mandatory for the data controller to fulfil its legal obligations
5/2-f: processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of the data controller, provided it does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms — so that we can answer the enquiry you initiated
Analytics measurement rests on two separate legal bases. Cookieless, anonymous measurement relies on our legitimate interest under Article 5(2)(f) (measuring and improving site use); because no identifier is written to your browser and your visits are not linked to one another, it does not depend on cookie consent. Measurement that uses a cookie identifier relies on your explicit consent under Article 5(1); unless you accept in the cookie banner, no analytics cookie is written. The declaration on the contact form is not analytics consent.
5. Transfer of Personal Data
Your personal data may be transferred, limited to the purposes above and in accordance with Articles 8 and 9 of the Law, to:
our hosting service provider in Türkiye, where the website is hosted
our email service provider, used when replying to your enquiry
Google LLC (Google Analytics); the transfer may be abroad, usually to the United States. Without your explicit consent only cookieless, anonymous measurement data is transferred
public authorities legally empowered to request it, where there is a legal request or obligation
Transfers abroad are carried out in accordance with the amended Article 9 of the Law, which entered into force on 1 June 2024.
6. Retention Period
Your personal data is retained for as long as the processing purpose requires and for the limitation periods set out in applicable legislation.
Contact form records are kept for a maximum of 2 years from the resolution of your enquiry. At the end of that period the data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
Google Analytics event data is kept by Google for up to 14 months; cookieless measurement stores nothing in your browser. Our analytics-consent cookie (melani_consent) lasts 180 days; after that the banner is shown again.
7. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under Article 11 of the Law, by applying to the data controller you may:
learn whether your personal data is being processed
request information about it if it has been processed
learn the purpose of processing and whether the data is used in line with that purpose
know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom the data has been transferred
request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data
request erasure or destruction of the data under the conditions in Article 7 of the Law
request that correction, erasure and destruction be notified to the third parties to whom the data was transferred
object to an adverse outcome arising solely from automated analysis
claim compensation if you suffer damage due to unlawful processing
You may submit your requests in writing, in accordance with the Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles for Applying to the Data Controller, to our address above or to melanitekstil@gmail.com. Your application will be concluded free of charge as soon as possible and within thirty days at the latest; if the process incurs an additional cost, the fee in the Board’s tariff may be charged.
If your application is rejected, you retain the right to lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Board.
