Privacy & Data Protection (KVKK)

Who is the data controller?

The data controller is Istanbul Airport Lawyer — independent attorneys registered with the İstanbul Bar Association (İstanbul Barosu). You can reach us about data matters using the contact details on this site.

What personal data we collect

• What you send us — your name, phone number, and the details you choose to share about your situation when you call or message us on WhatsApp.
• Basic technical data — standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) created whenever any website is visited, plus cookie and analytics data as described in the Cookies and analytics section below.

This website does not currently have a contact form — you reach us directly by phone or WhatsApp, which are run by third parties under their own terms.

Cookies and analytics

This site uses a small number of cookies. Essential cookies keep the site working and remember the cookie choice you make. We also use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site — for example which pages are read — so that we can improve it.

Analytics cookies are off by default. The first time you visit, a banner lets you Accept or Decline. Google Analytics only sets cookies and collects this usage data if you accept; if you decline, no analytics cookies are placed and only the essential ones remain. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser, which brings the banner back.

Google Analytics is a service provided by Google, and the data it processes may be handled on infrastructure located outside Türkiye.

Why we use it and the legal basis

We use your data only to respond to you and, if you decide to engage us, to provide legal assistance. Under KVKK Article 5 this generally rests on taking steps toward or performing an engagement, our legitimate interest in answering enquiries, your explicit consent where it is required, and compliance with our legal obligations.

Sharing and international transfer

We do not sell your data. We share it only where it is necessary to act on your matter or to meet a legal obligation. Please note that if you contact us on WhatsApp, your message is handled by its provider on infrastructure that may be located outside Türkiye.

How long we keep it

We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose above and for any period the law requires, after which it is deleted or anonymised.

Your rights under KVKK

Under KVKK Article 11 you may, among other things, learn whether your data is processed, ask for information and correction, request deletion where the conditions are met, and object to certain processing. To use these rights, contact us with the details on this site and we will reply within the legal time limit.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice if our practice or the law changes. The current version always appears on this page.
