KVKK Notice (Personal Data Protection)
Last updated: 29 October 2026
This page is an English-language summary of our disclosure notice under Turkish Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data ("KVKK"), prepared to inform users of Sözleşmeler (sözlesmeler.com.tr). It is provided for information only — the Turkish-language KVKK Aydınlatma Metni remains the legally authoritative version. For more technical detail, see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy pages as well.
1. Data controller
Data controller: ECLABS YAZILIM — Şeyma Karaş (sole proprietorship registered in the Turkish craftsmen register). Address: Bahçelievler Mah. Şehit Ahmet Akyol Sk. No: 31, İç Kapı No: 1, Serdivan/Sakarya. Tax office: Gümrükönü. "Sözleşmeler" is a brand of this business. Contact: iletisim@sözlesmeler.com.tr. Website: sözlesmeler.com.tr.
2. Categories of personal data processed
- Document form data: name, address, ID/tax number, contract details, etc. — processed only in your browser; never sent to or stored on our server.
- CV builder: the information you type into your CV is saved only in your browser's local storage (localStorage) so you do not lose your work; it is never sent to our server. It stays on your device until you use “Clear form” in the CV builder or clear your browser data. On a shared device, we recommend deleting it when you are done.
- AI ad creative tool (only with your consent): low-resolution copies of the screenshot and images you upload, app name and description — sent to Google Gemini for analysis; not stored permanently on our server.
- Contact / feedback: the message you write and any optional contact details — processed to handle your request.
- Technical logs: IP address, browser type, request time — standard access logs kept by our hosting provider.
- Anonymous tool statistics: tool name, event type, success status — contain no personal content or files.
- Security: Turnstile verification; a non-reversible rate-limit key derived from your IP address (the raw IP is never written to the message record).
3. Purposes of processing and legal grounds
- Running document and file tools client-side — performance of the service (KVKK Art. 5/2-c).
- AI ad creative analysis and the related transfer to Google Gemini (USA) — explicit consent obtained before use (KVKK Art. 5/1, Art. 9).
- Responding to support requests — legitimate interest and, where applicable, explicit consent / performance of a contract (form submission).
- Security, abuse prevention and system integrity — legitimate interest (KVKK Art. 5/2-f).
- Fulfilling legal obligations — under applicable legislation.
4. Retention periods
- Document form data: never stored on the server; lost when the page is closed.
- CV builder draft: only in your browser's localStorage, until you delete it with “Clear form” or clear your browser data; never stored on the server.
- Contact and feedback messages: 365 days (D1 database). This period is not set by law; it is set by the ECLABS internal retention policy so that support requests can be answered and followed up. Expired records are deleted periodically.
- Contact form rate-limit key (derived from your IP address, non-reversible): 30 days from last use (ECLABS internal retention policy; to prevent abuse). Expired records are deleted periodically.
- AI ad creative: images are not stored; the analysis result (no images) is cached for up to 6 hours.
- Access logs: according to our hosting provider's policy.
- Background-removal daily counter: only the day and operation count, kept in browser localStorage.
- Your applications under KVKK Art. 11 and our responses to them: 3 years from the conclusion of the application (ECLABS internal retention policy; to be able to prove that the application was answered properly).
A request for the deletion of your personal data is concluded within 30 days at the latest (KVKK Art. 13/2; Regulation on the Deletion, Destruction or Anonymisation of Personal Data, Art. 12).
5. Data transfers
Document and image content is never sent to our server or to third-party processing services. Exception: if you use “Analyze with AI” in the AI ad creative tool and give explicit consent, images and texts are transferred to Google LLC's Gemini API (USA) for analysis (KVKK Art. 9). Without consent the tool works in manual mode and sends nothing. Resend may be used for admin notifications from the contact form, and Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection. The Google AdSense script is not currently loaded; if ad display is enabled in the future, the script will be loaded only if you give explicit consent to advertising cookies, in which case data is transferred to Google LLC (USA) (KVKK Art. 9) — see the Cookie Policy for the current status.

- Learn whether your personal data is being processed
- Request information about it, if it has been processed
