Personal data processed and purposes of processing
"Request Information" form. When you fill in the form, you send us the following information: name and surname, organisation (optional), telephone (optional), e-mail address, the product group you are interested in, quantity (optional), your message, and the ticking of the checkbox confirming that you have read this notice. We use this information to evaluate your request and to get back to you. The form content is delivered by e-mail to the B-Kant Diagnostics mailbox; it is not stored separately on the website's server.
IP address digest for security. To limit misuse of the form and automated submissions, a digest value generated from your IP address with a secret key is kept in counter files for form submissions. Your IP address is not written to these files in plain text. The counters are deleted when the longest limit period of 24 hours expires.
Error logs. An error log is kept on the server to fix technical errors of the website. The log records the time, type and technical message of the error. As a rule, form content and IP addresses are not written to the log.
Server connection records. The website runs on the servers of the hosting provider, and your visit passes through Cloudflare. These service providers may keep connection records such as IP address and request information for the operation and security of the service. These records are in the providers' own systems; their retention periods are subject to their policies.
Theme preference. Your choice of light, dark or system theme is kept only in your browser's local storage (key bk-theme). It is not a cookie, it is not sent to our server and it does not reach us. For details, see the Cookie Policy page.
The website has no user accounts, membership, payment or file upload, and no data is collected for these purposes.
Legal basis
Your personal data is processed on the basis of the conditions in Article 5 of the Law:
- The information in the "Request Information" form is processed to evaluate your request and to respond to you. The checkbox in the form shows that you have read this notice. The processing is based on subparagraph (f) of the second paragraph of Article 5 of the Law, that is, the legitimate interests of the data controller, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not harmed.
- The digest value generated from the IP address and the error logs are processed to ensure the security of the website and to prevent misuse, based on the legitimate interests of the data controller (Art. 5/2-f), provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not harmed.
Your personal data is not used for automated decision-making or profiling.
Transfer of data
- E-mail and hosting service: Your form content is transmitted and stored through the services of Natro (Turkey) for e-mail and server infrastructure.
- Cloudflare: The website is served through the Cloudflare network for content delivery and security. Because your connection passes through this network, connection information such as your IP address may also be processed by Cloudflare on servers outside Turkey. Transfer abroad is subject to the conditions in Article 9 of the Law.
- Your personal data is not transferred to third parties other than those above, and is not sold, unless there is a legal obligation or a request from an authorised authority.
Retention period
The information you send with the "Request Information" form is kept until your request is concluded and is deleted after 2 years at the latest. Counter files are kept for 24 hours at most. The error log file is renewed when it exceeds 5 MB, and only the previous file is kept. In accordance with Article 7 of the Law, when the purpose of processing no longer exists, your data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
