KVKK notice · Türkiye

Kanun No. 6698 · Aydınlatma metni · 23 Temmuz 2026

This section explains how we comply with Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK — 6698 sayılı Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanunu). It complements the Privacy notice above; where the two overlap, both apply.

01

Data controller (Veri Sorumlusu)

Yavuz Selim Kıyak is the veri sorumlusu. Contact: yskiyak@gazi.edu.tr.

02

Data processed & purpose

We process the categories listed in the Privacy notice — your name and email, country, optional institution, followed journals, seen history, and journal requests — solely to operate your personalised publication monitor.

03

Legal ground (Hukuki sebep)

We process your personal data on the basis of your explicit consent (açık rıza) under KVKK Art 5(1), obtained when you sign up. You may withdraw it at any time by deleting your account or contacting us.

04

Transfers abroad (Yurt dışına aktarım)

To run the service, your data may be transferred to and processed by our service providers abroad (Supabase, OpenAI / ChatGPT Sites, and Google, in the United States) under appropriate safeguards. By giving your explicit consent you agree to this transfer under KVKK Art 9.

05

Method of collection

We collect your data electronically, directly from you and through Google sign-in, via the website — for the purposes and on the legal ground stated above.

06

Your rights under KVKK Art 11

You have the right to:

  • learn whether your personal data is processed;
  • request information if it has been processed;
  • learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used accordingly;
  • know the third parties to whom it is transferred, in Türkiye or abroad;
  • request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data;
  • request its deletion or destruction;
  • request that corrections and deletions be notified to third parties;
  • object to outcomes produced solely by automated analysis; and
  • claim compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.
