Turkish Personal Data Notice

1. Controller

This notice is provided under Article 10 of Türkiye's Law No. 6698. The controller is Marcaworld Limited, trading as MarcaWorld. Address: 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom; email: support@marcaworld.com; telephone: +44 7351 452604. If another entity controls a particular collection or service, its identity and processing must be explained separately.

2. People, information and sources

Enquiries and cases may involve customers, representatives, shareholders, directors, beneficial owners and applicants. Relevant information includes identity, contact, authority, company/application details, necessary documents, correspondence, billing/payment and transaction security. The service determines the scope. Sources include forms, communication/document channels in use, payment records, authorised representatives and registers. Processing may be fully/partly automated or non-automated within a filing system.

3. Service purposes and ground

Necessary information about a person personally party to a contract is processed for quotations, agreements, documents, applications and tracking under Article 5(2)(c). That ground does not automatically cover directors or owners who are not contracting parties. Necessary authority checks, communication and coordination require a rights-sensitive legitimate-interest assessment under Article 5(2)(f).

4. Other grounds

Directly applicable records, tax and authority requirements may rely on Article 5(2)(a) or (ç); protection of rights on Article 5(2)(e); and proportionate security/fraud prevention on Article 5(2)(f). Legitimate interests must not harm fundamental rights. Optional marketing/tracking without another ground needs separate explicit consent under Article 5(1). Reading this notice or accepting a contract does not provide that consent.

5. Sharing

Necessary information may be shared with registers, tax/trademark authorities, notaries and authorised professionals for applications/statutory follow-up; local suppliers for case delivery; technical providers in use for systems; and payment institutions for collection/refunds/reconciliation. Authority requests are assessed separately. Banks and public authorities may be separate controllers under their own duties.

6. Overseas transfers

International applications, technical services or access by a separate foreign organisation may involve transfers. Article 9 requires an appropriate processing ground and assessment of adequacy or appropriate safeguards. Without those, only a genuinely applicable occasional-transfer exception may be used. Blanket consent/contract approval does not alone support regular transfers. Contact us about your case's countries, recipients and safeguards.

7. Documents and retention

Do not send unrelated health, biometric or criminal information. If required, an Article 6 condition and additional measures must be explained before collection. Missing required information may prevent completion. Do not send passwords or one-time codes. Retention is limited by enquiry closure, service delivery, applications/rights protection and mandatory records. Deletion, destruction or anonymisation applies when processing conditions cease.

8. Rights and requests

Article 11 allows you to learn whether information is processed, request information, understand purposes and appropriate use, learn domestic/overseas recipients, seek correction or statutory deletion/destruction, request notification to recipients, object to adverse outcomes from exclusively automated analysis and seek compensation for unlawful-processing damage. Send signed written requests to our address or use a lawful electronic route, such as support@marcaworld.com from an email previously provided and recorded with us. Identity/authority is verified proportionately. A reasoned written or electronic answer is provided within thirty days at the latest. Board complaints remain subject to statutory procedures and deadlines.
