Who we are

Akaza Digital ("we", "us") is a digital marketing studio based in Karaköy, Istanbul. For the personal data described here, we act as the data controller (veri sorumlusu) under KVKK.

You can reach us at hello@akazadigital.com or +90 537 541 30 45.

What data we collect

• When you use our contact form: your name, email address, company name (optional), the services you are interested in, your budget range and your message.
• When you call, email or message us on WhatsApp: your name, phone number or email address and what you tell us.
• When you visit the website: basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, recorded by our hosting provider for security and to keep the site running.

We do not ask for sensitive personal data (özel nitelikli kişisel veri). Please do not send it to us through the form.

Why we use it

• To answer your enquiry and prepare a proposal or quote.
• To provide our services if we start working together, and to handle invoicing.
• To keep the website secure and working properly.
• To meet our legal obligations.

We do not sell your data, and we do not add you to a newsletter unless you have clearly agreed to it.

Legal basis

We process your data under Article 5 of KVKK because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or to perform a contract with you; because it is necessary for our legitimate interests, such as answering enquiries and keeping the site secure, provided this does not harm your fundamental rights; and where required, to comply with legal obligations.

Who we share it with

We share personal data only with service providers that help us run the business, and only as far as needed:

• our website hosting provider;
• our contact form provider, which delivers form messages to our inbox;
• our email and office software providers;
• Google Fonts, which serves the typefaces on this site and receives your IP address when the page loads.

Some of these providers store data on servers outside Turkey. Where data is transferred abroad, we do so in line with Article 9 of KVKK, using the safeguards it requires. We may also share data with public authorities when the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for up to two years after our last contact, so we can follow up on the same conversation. If you become a client, we keep records for as long as the contract runs and for the periods required by Turkish tax and commercial law. After that, data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.

Cookies and storage

This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. It stores a few small settings in your browser, for example to skip the opening animation on pages you have already seen. These contain no personal data. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this notice and ask for your consent where required.

Your rights

Under Article 11 of KVKK, you have the right to:

• learn whether your personal data is processed, and request information about it;
• learn the purpose of the processing and whether it is used for that purpose;
• know the third parties in Turkey or abroad to whom it is transferred;
• ask for incomplete or incorrect data to be corrected;
• ask for your data to be deleted or destroyed under the conditions in Article 7;
• ask for corrections or deletions to be notified to third parties who received the data;
• object to a result against you that arises only from automated analysis;
• claim compensation if you suffer damage because of unlawful processing.

How to use your rights

Send your request to hello@akazadigital.com with your name and enough detail for us to identify you and your request. We will answer free of charge as soon as possible and within 30 days at the latest. If your request needs extra cost, we may charge the fee set by the Personal Data Protection Board.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice when our services or the law change. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was updated.
