3. Purposes and legal grounds
- Technical access logs (IP address, date and time, address requested, browser details): to serve the website and keep it secure, through the hosting service, by automated means. The legal ground under consideration is KVKK Art. 5/2-f (the controller’s legitimate interest) and, where applicable, Art. 5/2-ç (legal obligation); a lawyer should confirm the exact ground.
- Records on the device (lesson progress, activities, results, optional student code): only on the user’s device, so that the learning and teacher tools the user asks for can work. These records are not transferred to Melokta and Melokta cannot access them.
4. Transfers
Technical access logs are processed by [To be completed: hosting provider], which hosts the site. Country of the servers: [To be completed: server country]. If the servers are outside Turkey, this may count as a cross-border transfer under KVKK Art. 9; the controller must decide the transfer mechanism (adequacy decision, standard contract, etc.). Apart from this, no personal data is transferred to third parties; no advertising, analytics or social media services are used.
5. Retention
Technical access logs: [To be completed: server log retention period]. Records on the device: they stay on the user’s device until the user deletes them or clears browser data.
6. Your rights under KVKK Art. 11
- to learn whether your personal data is processed and, if so, to request information about it,
- to learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used for that purpose,
- to know the third parties in Turkey or abroad to whom it is transferred,
- to ask for correction if it is incomplete or inaccurate, and for deletion or destruction under the conditions of Art. 7, and for these steps to be notified to the third parties it was transferred to,
- to object to a result against you arising solely from automated analysis,
- to claim compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.
7. How to apply
Send your request to [To be completed: contact email], in writing to [To be completed: postal address], or to the KEP address [To be completed: registered e-mail (KEP), if any]. Requests are answered within thirty days at the latest under the Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles of Applications to the Data Controller. Because Melokta cannot access the records on your device, you can view and delete them yourself on the My data page.
