Privacy Policy

Kılıç Kurumsal Danışmanlık A.Ş. (Kılıç Kurumsal) attaches importance to the confidentiality of information shared through its website and communication channels. This policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, with whom it is shared and the choices available to visitors in this regard.

Detailed information on the processing of personal data is provided on our Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) Privacy Notice page, while information on the use of cookies is provided on our Cookie Policy page. This policy provides a general framework for reading all three texts together.

A. Our Core Principles

• Unnecessary data is not requested. Forms only ask for the information required to assess the request.
• Information is not used for unrelated purposes. The information you share is not used for any purpose other than that for which it was submitted.
• Access is restricted. Only authorised personnel may access information, and only to the extent required.
• Unsolicited commercial communications are not sent. Marketing communications are not sent without your consent.
• Document sharing is controlled. A secure sharing method is determined before work begins for sensitive documents.

B. What Information Do We Collect?

1. Information You Provide

Your full name, title, position, organisation name, telephone number, email address and city, as well as the subject of your request, explanatory text and any documents you upload in the corporate service request, training request, general contact and personal data application forms.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When a form is submitted, the IP address, browser information, referring address and any campaign tracking parameters are recorded. This information is retained for security, prevention of misuse and source analysis.

3. Cookies

The website uses three types of cookies: essential cookies required for the website to operate, statistics cookies that measure how pages are used, and preference cookies that remember choices such as language and appearance. Cookies other than essential cookies operate only with your consent; the analytics script is not loaded at all unless consent has been given.

C. What Do We Use the Information For?

• To understand and categorise your request and direct it to the appropriate area of work
• To define the scope and prepare a written quotation
• To contact you and arrange a preliminary meeting or appointment
• To maintain orderly records and preserve the traceability of work
• To ensure website security and prevent unsolicited and automated submissions
• To fulfil legal obligations

D. With Whom Do We Share the Information?

Your information is not sold or transferred to third parties for marketing purposes. It is shared only in the following circumstances and to the extent necessary:

• Members of our team responsible for the area relevant to the request
• Suppliers from whom we obtain hosting, email and information security services
• Providers of accountancy and audit services, to the extent required by legislation
• Authorised public bodies and judicial authorities upon request

E. Brand Ecosystem and Separate Organisations

Kılıç Kurumsal operates in the fields of corporate consultancy, training and process management. Kılıç Hukuk is a separate professional organisation that provides legal services; ihale.tv and Kılıç Akademi are separate information platforms. When you access these platforms from our website, the privacy practices of the relevant website apply.

If it is determined that your request requires legal representation, litigation or an application, you will be informed that this need must be handled within the separate professional organisation. Your information will not be transferred to that organisation without your consent.

F. Document Security

Documents you upload are stored in connection with the request record and may be viewed only by authorised personnel. You are advised not to submit confidential tender files, contracts or identity documents with your initial enquiry. Before work begins, the document-sharing method, the persons who will have access, the retention period and the method of return or destruction are determined separately.

G. Retention and Destruction

Information is retained for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it is processed, taking into account the retention periods stipulated in the relevant legislation. Once the period expires, the information is deleted, destroyed or anonymised. The date of your consent and the version of the text to which you consented are also retained as evidence of consent.

H. Your Choices

• Cookie preferences: You may accept or reject cookies other than essential cookies, or change your preferences at a later date. The “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer allows you to reopen the panel at any time.
• Withdrawal of consent: You may withdraw your consent at any time for processing activities based on explicit consent.
• Data subject rights: You may exercise your rights under Article 11 of the KVKK using the application form on the “KVKK and Cookies” page.

I. Children's Data

Our website is intended for corporate visitors and does not seek to collect children's personal data. If it is discovered that such data has been submitted inadvertently, it will be deleted without delay.

J. Updates to the Policy

This policy is reviewed in line with changes in legislation and updates to our business processes. Any significant change will be announced on the website and, where considered necessary, your consent will be requested again.

K. Contact

You may submit questions about our privacy practices through the general contact form in the “Contact” section of our website or by emailing [email protected].
