Privacy Notice
This notice explains how the personal data you share through handecaliskan.com, or when you contact me, is processed under Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK"), Article 10. It is a translation for convenience; the Turkish version prevails.

2. What data is processed?
| Source | Data |
|---|---|
| Valuation form | Full name, phone, e-mail; the area, size and features you enter in the instant estimate tool |
| Buyer request form | Full name, phone, description of the home you want, budget |
| WhatsApp, phone, e-mail | Your name, number or e-mail address and the content of our correspondence |
| Meetings and the transaction stage | Title deed and property documents you share, and the identity and property details they contain |
| Technical records | IP address and browser information recorded by the hosting provider when a form is submitted |
No special categories of personal data (health, religion, union membership and similar) are requested; please do not enter such information in the forms. Simply browsing the site does not create a record that identifies you.
3. Why is your data processed?
- To respond to your request and contact you
- To prepare a comparative market (valuation) report for your property
- To find and present properties matching what you are looking for
- To carry out sales and rental advisory, including mandate and viewing documents
- To meet obligations under real estate trade, tax and related legislation
- To keep the site secure and prevent misuse of the forms
Your data is not sold and is not shared with third parties for advertising. You will not receive bulk promotional messages unless you separately agree to them.
4. Legal bases and collection method
Your data is collected electronically through the site's forms, WhatsApp, e-mail and phone, and processed on the following bases in KVKK Article 5(2):
- (c) Processing directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract: providing valuation and advisory services at your request
- (ç) Compliance with a legal obligation: real estate trade and tax legislation
- (f) Legitimate interest, provided your fundamental rights are not harmed: keeping communication records and site security
5. Who is your data shared with?
- Keller Williams Bodrum office: to carry out the transaction and keep contracts and statutory records
- The other party to a transaction and their advisor: only at the sale or rental stage, with your knowledge and to the extent necessary
- Competent public authorities: land registry offices, tax offices and bodies legally entitled to request information
- Service providers: the site's hosting and form infrastructure (Netlify, Inc.), the e-mail service and, if you choose to use it, WhatsApp
Transfers abroad
The site's hosting and form infrastructure runs on servers located outside Türkiye (United States). The name, phone, e-mail and request details you submit through the forms therefore pass through those servers before reaching me. The transfer is carried out within the framework of KVKK Article 9. No title deed or ID document is requested through the site; such documents are received in person or by the channel you choose.
6. How long is your data kept?
- Until your request has been completed
- If no transaction takes place, for at most 5 years after our last contact
- If a transaction takes place, for the retention periods required by the relevant legislation
After that, your data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
7. Voice search and dictation
When you use the microphone buttons, your speech is converted to text by your browser's own speech recognition service (for example Google or Apple). The site does not record or store audio; it only places the resulting text in the form field. Using this feature is optional.
8. Your rights
Under KVKK Article 11 you have the right to:
- Learn whether your personal data is processed
- Request information about the processing
- Learn the purpose of processing and whether data is used accordingly
- Know the third parties, in Türkiye or abroad, to whom data is transferred
- Request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data
- Request deletion or destruction under the conditions set out in KVKK
- Request that correction, deletion and destruction be notified to third parties to whom data was transferred
- Object to an adverse outcome arising solely from automated analysis of your data
- Claim compensation if you suffer damage from unlawful processing
