2. Categories of data we collect
We may collect identity and contact details (name, phone, email), vehicle identifiers (VIN, plate, mileage), service history notes you provide, communication transcripts, and technical data such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps when you use our website.
3. Purposes and legal bases
- Service delivery: scheduling, performing repairs, warranties, and billing (contract necessity).
- Safety & compliance: regulatory record-keeping, fraud prevention, incident logs (legal obligation / legitimate interests).
- Communication: responding to inquiries, appointment reminders (contract / legitimate interests).

Service records follow applicable Turkish commercial and tax retention rules. Marketing consents are refreshed periodically. Web server logs with personal identifiers are minimized and rotated unless needed for security investigations.

We share data only with vetted subprocessors (for example, SMS gateways, accounting platforms, or parts suppliers fulfilling an order). Each relationship is governed by confidentiality and data-processing terms. We do not sell personal data.
7. International transfers
If a tool stores data outside Turkey or the EEA, we rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses and conduct transfer impact assessments where appropriate.
8. Your rights (GDPR-style)
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection to certain processing, and withdrawal of consent without affecting prior lawful processing. You may lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.
9. Security
We apply administrative, technical, and organizational measures including role-based access, encrypted transport, and staff training. No method of transmission is perfectly secure; please report suspected issues immediately.
10. Children
Our services are directed to adults. We do not knowingly collect data from children without parental authority.
