Legal Grounds

The legal ground for processing depends on the reason the personal data is being used. In particular:

• personal data may be processed where necessary for DMG Hukuk to comply with a legal obligation;
• personal data may be processed where necessary for the establishment, exercise or protection of a legal right; and
• limited personal data relating to website operation, security and communications may be processed where necessary for the legitimate interests of DMG Hukuk, provided that this does not prejudice your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Where a particular processing activity requires your explicit consent under applicable law, we will request that consent separately.

How We Collect Personal Data

We collect personal data directly from you when you complete the contact form, send us an email, contact us by telephone or otherwise communicate with us.

Certain technical data may also be generated automatically when you access the website.

Where necessary for the purposes described in this Notice and permitted by law, personal data may be shared with:

• courts, public authorities and other bodies legally entitled to receive it; and

Personal data is shared only where there is a legal basis for doing so and to the extent necessary for the relevant purpose.

Retention & Data Security

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any longer period required by law or reasonably necessary for the establishment, exercise or protection of legal rights.

When there is no longer a lawful reason to retain personal data, it is deleted, destroyed or anonymised in accordance with applicable law.

DMG Hukuk applies technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the processing in order to protect personal data against unlawful processing or access and to maintain its security.
