Privacy and Data Protection
Information notice under Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK)
Last updated: 11 September 2026
This page explains which personal data we collect when you visit abaga.com or use the contact form, why we collect it, and on what legal grounds. The site carries no advertising and no visitor-tracking tools.

02What we collect
The contact form is the only place on this site where we collect data. Unless you fill it in, nothing that identifies you reaches us.
- Identity
- Your name
- Contact
- Your e-mail address
- Enquiry
- Company name (optional) and the content of your message
- Security
- The IP address and browser details of the request — recorded automatically and briefly by the infrastructure that protects the site from attacks
03Why we process it
Sending the form does not by itself allow us to send you marketing e-mail — newsletters, campaigns or product announcements. If we ever want to do that, we will ask for your separate and explicit consent, as Turkish Law No. 6563 requires.
- To read your enquiry and reply to you
- To route wholesale, manufacturing-partnership and private-label enquiries to the right part of our business
- To send the automatic acknowledgement e-mail confirming that your message arrived
- To protect the site and the form against spam, abuse and automated attacks
04Legal grounds
Your name, e-mail, company and message are processed under Article 5/2-(c) of the Law, as directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract with you. Security records are processed under Article 5/2-(f), as necessary for our legitimate interests provided this does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms. The data is collected by automated means through the form.
05Sharing and international transfer
We do not sell your data and we do not share it with third parties for marketing. It passes only through the service providers we use to run the site and deliver e-mail. Because their servers are located outside Türkiye, these transfers fall under Article 9 of the Law.
- Cloudflare
- Hosting, security and running the contact form
- Resend
- Delivering your message to us and the acknowledgement e-mail to you (servers in Ireland)
- Our e-mail provider
- Storing the messages that arrive at info@abaga.com
Data may also be disclosed to public authorities where they make a lawful request, limited strictly to the scope of that request.
06How long we keep it
Correspondence from the form is kept for at most two years after your enquiry is resolved. If the conversation turns into a commercial relationship, the related records are kept for the periods required by Turkish commercial and tax legislation — as a rule, ten years. Security records are deleted far sooner, under the policy of the infrastructure provider.
At the end of the retention period, data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
07Your rights
Under Article 11 of the Law, you may ask us to:
- Confirm whether your personal data is processed, and obtain information about it
- Learn the purpose of processing and whether the data is used accordingly
- Know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom the data has been transferred
- Have incomplete or inaccurate data corrected
- Have the data erased or destroyed, within the conditions set by the Law
- Have any correction or erasure notified to the third parties the data was transferred to
- Object to a result reached against you solely through automated analysis of your data
- Claim compensation if you suffer loss because the data was processed unlawfully
08How to reach us
Send your request by e-mail to info@abaga.com, or in writing to the company address above. It must contain the details required by the Turkish Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles of Application to the Data Controller. We answer free of charge as soon as possible, and in any event within thirty days; where the request entails a separate cost, the fee set by the Data Protection Board may apply.
09Cookies and browser storage
This site uses no advertising, analytics or visitor-tracking cookies. There is no Google Analytics, no Meta pixel and nothing comparable installed.
Every file the page needs, typefaces included, is served from our own domain — opening the site sends no request to any third-party address.
- Strictly necessary cookies
- Cloudflare, our infrastructure provider, may set short-lived security cookies such as __cf_bm to protect the site from automated attacks. They are not used to recognise or track you and, being necessary for the service to work, do not require consent.
- Theme preference
- When you choose the light or dark theme, that choice is not stored in a cookie but in your own browser's storage (localStorage, abaga-tema) and is never sent to us. Clearing your browser data removes it.
- Cookie notice
- Dismissing the notice at the bottom of the page is likewise recorded only in your own browser (abaga-cerez).
If we ever add a visitor-measurement tool, we will update this page and ask for your consent before any such cookie is placed.
10Security
The site and the contact form run over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) end to end. Only the colleagues who will answer your enquiry have access to form submissions. That said, no transmission over the internet is ever completely secure — please do not send identification numbers, card details or similar sensitive information through the form.
11Changes
We update this notice when we need to. The current version is always published at this address, and the date above shows when it last changed.
