Privacy and Security Policy
1. Purpose and Scope
This Privacy and Security Policy explains the general privacy and information-security approach applied to visitors and persons contacting the LoE website at www.lordsofequipments.com, operated by Sihirbazlar Sokağı Basın Yayın Matbaacılık Reklamcılık Nakliyecilik Tic. Ltd. Şti. (the “Company”).
Detailed legal information on personal-data processing is provided in the KVKK Privacy Notice. Cookies and similar technologies are addressed in the Cookie Policy.
2. Core Principles
- Personal data is processed lawfully and fairly.
- Data is kept accurate and, where necessary, up to date.
- Processing purposes are specific, explicit and legitimate.
- Processing is relevant, limited and proportionate to its purpose.
- Data is retained only for the necessary and legally required period.
3. Categories of Data That May Be Processed
Depending on website use and communication, the following categories may be processed:
- Identity, professional and contact details: name, surname, company, position/title, email and phone.
- Request and communication content: messages, quotations, cooperation, support or feedback records.
- Transaction-security data: IP address, date and time, access and error logs, device and browser details.
- Cookie and preference data: cookie choices, language and similar website preferences.
4. Purposes of Use
- Provide the website and maintain secure and continuous operation.
- Respond to communication, quotation, cooperation, support and feedback requests.
- Prevent or investigate misuse, unauthorised access and security incidents.
- Meet legal obligations and establish, exercise or protect rights.
- Conduct analytics, marketing, newsletters and commercial communications only after the required separate approvals have been obtained.
5. Sharing and International Transfers
Personal data may be transferred to suppliers providing hosting, email, information technology, security and communication services only to the extent required; to lawyers and advisers where legally necessary; and to public authorities only where there is a legal obligation or duly authorised request.
Where data is transferred abroad, an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards or one of the limited exceptions under Article 9 of the KVKK is relied upon. The Company separately documents the actual transfer process and its legal mechanism.
6. Information-Security Approach
The Company applies technical and organisational measures proportionate to risk to prevent unlawful processing or access and to protect personal data. Where necessary and technically feasible, these measures may include access restrictions, secure communications, updates and backups, logging, supplier controls and incident-response processes.
No electronic transmission or storage method can provide an absolute security guarantee. This statement does not limit the Company’s statutory data-security obligations.
7. Third-Party Links
The website may contain links to third-party sites. Those sites are subject to their own privacy and cookie practices. Providing a link does not mean that the Company controls or endorses the third party’s data-processing practices.
8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookie types, purposes, legal grounds, retention periods and preference management are explained in the Cookie Policy and Cookie Preference Panel. Non-essential cookies are not activated before the required approval.
9. Data-Subject Rights
Rights under Article 11 of the KVKK and request methods are explained in the KVKK Privacy Notice. Where mandatory foreign data-protection law grants additional rights, those rights are considered separately.
10. Children’s Privacy
The LoE website is corporate and B2B-oriented and is not directed to children. The Company does not intend knowingly to collect children’s personal data. Where unlawfully obtained child data is identified, the necessary review and deletion measures are taken.
11. Language and Applicable Law
Translations are provided for information. In case of a discrepancy, the Turkish text prevails, without prejudice to mandatory legal provisions and non-waivable rights.
12. Updates
This policy may be updated when legislation, security practices or website functions change. The current version takes effect when published on the website.
