Privacy Notice

For the purposes of Turkish Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (“KVKK”) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the data controller is:

“KIYAMMAR,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the company above, trading online under the KIYAMMAR Marble brand.

This notice applies to personal data processed through this website, quotation forms, email, telephone, WhatsApp, WeChat and related B2B communications. It covers website visitors, prospective buyers, customer representatives, suppliers and other business contacts.

• Identity and business-contact data: full name, company name, job or representative information where provided, email address, telephone or messaging number, country and preferred contact channel.
• Enquiry and transaction data: product interests, requested quantity, dimensions or grading, intended application, destination, Incoterm preference, shipment timing, notes, quotation correspondence and related commercial records.
• Technical and security data: IP address, browser and device information, timestamps, request logs, security events and consent-preference records.
• Analytics data: page views, navigation and performance information only when you consent to analytics technologies.
• Communication records: messages and information exchanged during quotation, supply, export or customer-service discussions.

Please do not submit special-category or sensitive personal data through the quotation form or free-text message field.

We collect data directly from you when you complete a form, contact us or continue a business discussion. Technical data may be collected automatically by hosting, security and logging systems. Optional analytics and embedded third-party services are activated only in accordance with your privacy choices.

• Operating, maintaining and securing the website and administrative systems.
• Receiving, validating and responding to quotation, product, availability and export enquiries.
• Preparing quotations, commercial proposals, order discussions and project-specific supply information.
• Communicating with buyer representatives and coordinating product, quality, packaging, logistics, customs and delivery matters.
• Maintaining business correspondence, preventing misuse, investigating security events and protecting legal rights.
• Complying with applicable commercial, tax, customs, accounting, sanctions, court and regulatory obligations.
• Measuring and improving website performance only where analytics consent has been granted.

Depending on the activity, personal data is processed on one or more of the following legal bases under KVKK: processing necessary for the establishment or performance of a contract; compliance with a legal obligation; establishment, exercise or protection of a right; legitimate interests that do not override the fundamental rights and freedoms of the relevant person; and explicit consent where required for optional analytics or external-media technologies.

Where the GDPR applies, corresponding bases may include steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interests and consent for optional technologies.

Personal data may be disclosed on a need-to-know basis to:

• Cloud hosting, database, authentication, content-delivery, cybersecurity and technical-support providers, including Cloudflare and Supabase.
• Google services only where you consent to analytics or choose to load Google Maps.
• Professional advisers, auditors, insurers and legal representatives where necessary.
• Logistics providers, customs parties, ports, agents, suppliers and commercial partners where required to evaluate or fulfil a specific enquiry or transaction.
• Courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies and other authorised public authorities where disclosure is legally required.

Some service providers may process data outside Türkiye. Where an international transfer occurs, KIYAMMAR applies a transfer mechanism permitted by Article 9 of KVKK and, where applicable, the GDPR, together with appropriate contractual, technical and organisational safeguards.

Personal data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice. Retention is determined according to the status and duration of the enquiry or commercial relationship, applicable limitation periods, legal and regulatory record-keeping duties, dispute requirements and security needs.

Enquiries that do not develop into a transaction are periodically reviewed and deleted or anonymised when no longer required. Records that become part of a contract, invoice, customs or accounting file are retained for the applicable statutory period.

We use proportionate administrative, technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse. No internet or cloud system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and users should avoid sending unnecessary confidential information through open message fields.

Subject to the conditions and exceptions in applicable law, you may request information about whether your personal data is processed, access processing information, learn the purpose of processing and recipients, request correction, deletion or destruction, object to certain automated outcomes, and seek compensation where unlawful processing causes damage.

Where the GDPR applies, additional rights may include restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal.

Send a clear request to info@kiyammar.com. Include enough information to identify the relevant interaction and the right you wish to exercise. We may request proportionate information to verify identity and protect other persons’ data. Requests are handled within the periods required by applicable law.

This is a business-to-business website and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly request personal data from children through the quotation form.

We may update this notice when our services, providers or legal obligations change. The current version and update date will remain available on this page.
