KVKK and GDPR

What we do with your data under KVKK and GDPR

Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) applies to companies in Türkiye, and the GDPR applies to data of people in the European Union. This page sets out our role under both, how data subjects exercise their rights, the transfer of data to Germany and how AI processing works.

How to exercise your rights

  1. 1

    Identify the controller

    If you are a customer or employee of a company that uses Müşavir, apply directly to that company; it is the controller. If you are a Müşavir subscriber or a site visitor, apply to us.

  2. 2

    Send your request in writing

    Use the contact page for requests addressed to us. State the information we need to verify your identity and what your request is about.

  3. 3

    Receive the answer

    Under KVKK Article 13, requests are concluded within thirty days at the latest. For GDPR requests the period is one month as a rule.

  4. 4

    Support for the controller

    If a request reaches a tenant company, we help it find, correct, export and delete records with platform tools and, where needed, with our team.

Where the AI helpsEarly access

AI and personal data

AI features run per company: the company owner switches them on and gives consent; without consent no data is sent to a model. Once switched on, AI chat sends only the message the user writes, the conversation history and the AI agent's instructions, without access to panel records, and the automated task sends conversation text from the connected messaging account and the related lead record, to a language model. The route in use today is Anthropic's Claude models via OpenRouter (USA); EVREN, hosted in Türkiye, is not active at present. We apply the rules below to that processing.

  • Customer data is not used to train AI models: requests to OpenRouter are sent so that they are routed only to endpoints that do not use data for training and do not retain it (zero data retention); free (data-collecting) models are not used in automated tasks.
  • AI chat does not access your panel records; only the message written, the conversation history and the agent's instructions are sent to the model. In the automated task, the previous day's conversations and the related lead record are sent; the database as a whole is never sent.
  • AI may perform internal workflow steps, such as routing a request to the right team or updating the lead record in the automated task. Every message, payment or official submission that leaves the company waits for a person's approval.
  • Every AI action is logged with who, when and why; your team can correct a change made by AI from the panel.

AI assistants are in early access and are being switched on for accounts gradually. Until then the AI quota cannot be used; every other module works with your plan straight away.

Our position

  • KVKK (Law No. 6698): We are the processor for data tenants enter, and the controller for our own subscribers and site visitors. Data security obligations (Article 12) apply to us in both roles.
  • GDPR (2016/679): For tenants processing data of people in the European Union we act as a processor within the meaning of GDPR Article 28, and we sign a matching data processing agreement on request.

Cross-border transfer

The platform runs in a data center in Germany. Since the Personal Data Protection Board has not issued an adequacy decision for Germany, sending data from Türkiye to these servers is a cross-border transfer under KVKK Article 9; we do not claim that it is exempt because it is in Europe. Accordingly, we are carrying out the process of signing the Board’s standard contracts with recipients and notifying the Authority under Article 9(4)(c). Some subprocessors (such as email, network security and AI features switched on by the company owner) may process data outside Türkiye and Germany too; all of them are listed with their locations on the subprocessors page.

For the data you enter on the platform (your customers, leads and incoming messages), the transfer chain is:

  • You and Müşavir: You are the data controller and Müşavir is the processor. Our data processing agreement covers processing on infrastructure in Germany and the cross-border transfer terms.
  • Müşavir and the infrastructure provider: This is where data leaves Türkiye for servers in Germany; the Board’s processor-to-processor standard contract is used and notified to the Authority.
  • Müşavir and AI providers: When the company owner switches AI features on, data goes through OpenRouter (USA) to Anthropic (USA); this is also a cross-border transfer under KVKK Article 9. The providers are listed with their locations on the subprocessors page.
  • You and your own customers: Informing your own data subjects (your customers, people who message you) about this processing and the cross-border transfer, and obtaining explicit consent where needed, is your obligation as the data controller.

Data subject rights

How to apply for the rights under KVKK Article 11 and GDPR Articles 15 to 22:

  1. If your relationship is with a company that uses Müşavir (as its customer, employee or supplier), apply to that company.
  2. If your relationship is directly with us, apply in writing by one of the routes listed in the KVKK Privacy Notice (email, post or secure electronic signature); our application address is also on the contact page. Details are in our privacy policy.
  3. KVKK requests are concluded within thirty days at the latest and free of charge as a rule (Article 13).

Automated decisions and AI

KVKK Article 11(1)(g) grants a right to object to an adverse result produced solely by automated analysis, and GDPR Article 22 provides similar protection. AI assistants on the platform produce suggestions, drafts and answers, and may perform internal workflow steps such as routing a request to the right team. AI does not message the person or make payments or official submissions; every action that leaves the company waits for a person’s approval, and every AI action is logged.

If the overnight automated task is on, the AI looks at the previous day’s conversations and updates the lead record’s stage, full name and short needs profile without waiting for approval. The update is made to the record inside the company: the AI does not message the person, change assignments or open proposals. Records already converted to customers are not changed. Every change is written to the status history and the audit trail with an “AI” label; your team can correct the change from the panel, and your company can switch the task off at any time. If a person believes this update produces an adverse result for them, they object to the company that is the data controller; the company can review and correct the record.

Frequently asked questions

Is storing data in Germany a cross-border transfer?

Yes. Sending personal data from Türkiye to Germany is a cross-border transfer under KVKK Article 9. Accordingly, we are carrying out the process of signing the Board's standard contracts with recipients and notifying the Authority under Article 9(4)(c); the transfer is also addressed in the data processing agreement.

What rights do I have?

Under KVKK Article 11 you can learn whether your data is processed, request information, learn the purpose, know the third parties it is transferred to, request correction and deletion, ask that these actions be notified to third parties, object to an adverse result from solely automated analysis, and claim compensation. The GDPR also grants data portability and restriction of processing.

I am a customer of a company; can I ask Müşavir to delete my data?

Your request should go to the company that is the controller; we process on its behalf. If a request reaches us, we forward it to that company and help it fulfil the request.

Is AI trained on my data?

No. Customer data is not used for model training. Our AI providers, OpenRouter, Anthropic (to which OpenRouter forwards requests) and EVREN (not active at present), are on our subprocessor list.

What do you do in case of a data breach?

We inform the tenant without undue delay and provide the information it needs, as controller, to notify the Board and the people affected. For data where we are the controller, we make the notification ourselves.
