Here too, after the expiry of this period, personal data is deleted, destroyed or anonymized.
- PERSONAL DATA DELETION, DISPOSAL AND ANONIMIZATION
Although it has been processed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant law as provided for in Article 138 of the Turkish Penal Code and Article 7 of the KVK Law, personal data are deleted, destroyed or anonymized upon the decision of our Company or upon the request of the personal data owner, in case the reasons requiring processing are eliminated. In this context, our Company fulfills its obligation with the methods explained in this section.
- Deleting Personal Data
- Deletion of Personal Data
Although our company has processed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant law, personal data may be deleted in accordance with its decision or upon the request of the personal data owner in case the reasons requiring processing are eliminated. Deletion of personal data is the process of making personal data inaccessible and reusable for the users concerned. Our Company takes all kinds of technical and administrative measures to ensure that deleted personal data cannot be accessed and reused for the relevant users.
- Process of Deleting Personal Data
- Determination of personal data that will be subject to deletion.
- Identify relevant users for each personal data using an access authorization and control matrix or similar system.
- Determination of the authorization and methods of access, retrieval, reuse, etc.
- Closing and eliminating the access, retrieval, reuse authorization and methods of the relevant users within the scope of personal data.
- Methods for Deleting Personal Data
Since personal data can be stored in various recording media, it is deleted by appropriate methods.
- Disposal of Personal Data
- Personal Data Disposal Process
Although our company has processed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant law, personal data may be disposed in accordance with its decision or upon the request of the personal data owner in case the reasons requiring processing are eliminated. Disposal of personal data is the process by which personal data cannot be accessed, retrieved or reused by anyone in any way. Our company takes all kinds of technical and administrative measures necessary for the disposal of personal data.
- The Methods of Personal Data Disposal
For the disposal of personal data, all copies of the data are detected and the systems in which the data is found are destroyed individually.
- The Anonymization of Personal Data
- Personal Data Anonymization Process
The anonymization of personal data means that personal data cannot be associated with a certain or identifiable natural person, even by pairing it with other data. Our company is able to anonymize the personal data when the reasons that require the processing of personal data processed in accordance with the law are eliminated. Personal data is anonymized by making it unrelated to a specific or identifiable natural person, even through the use of appropriate techniques for the recording medium and the field of activity, such as the return of data by the data responsible or recipient groups and / or the mapping of data to other data. Our company takes all kinds of technical and administrative measures necessary to anonymize personal data.
Personal data, which has been anonymized in accordance with Article 28 of the PDP Law, may be processed for research, planning and statistics purposes. Such transactions are outside the scope of the KVK Law and will not require the express consent of the personal data owner.
- The Methods of Personal Data Anonymization
The anonymization is that by removing or changing all direct and / or indirect identifiers in a data set, the identity of the person is prevented from being identified, or he or she loses its distinguishability in a group or crowd so that it cannot be associated with a real person. Data that does not indicate a particular person as a result of blocking or losing these features is considered anonymized data. The purpose of anonymizing is to break the link between the data and the person whom this data defines. All the relation breaking operations carried out by means of automatic or non-automatic grouping, masking, derivation, generalization, randomization, etc. are applied to the records in the data recording system where personal data is kept. The data obtained as a result of the application of these methods should not be able to identify a particular person.
