Personal data should be processed lawfully and fairly, kept accurate and up to date where necessary, processed for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes, limited to what is relevant and proportionate, and retained only for the period required by applicable law or the purposes for which it is processed.

This policy explains the categories of personal data that may be processed, the purposes of processing, collection methods, possible recipients, retention and security principles, and your rights under KVKK.

Personal data collected through Leather Bodrum’s website, store enquiries, communications and customer service activities may be processed by the business operating the Leather Bodrum / BEST Leather and Fur brand.

Depending on how you use the website, contact us, visit the store or request information about products or made-to-measure services, the following categories of personal data may be processed.

Depending on the nature of your interaction with us, your personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

Where necessary to provide the relevant service and where the conditions required by law are met, personal data may be shared with the following parties:

WhatsApp, email, cloud, hosting, analytics or other global technology services may operate infrastructure outside Türkiye.

Where personal data must be transferred abroad, the transfer should be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in Article 9 of KVKK and other applicable data protection legislation.

When you contact Leather Bodrum through WhatsApp, email or another third-party communication platform, information you send may also be processed by the relevant platform provider under its own terms, privacy policy and technical infrastructure.

We recommend that you do not send identification documents, financial information or other sensitive data through messaging channels unless it is genuinely necessary for your request.

Personal data may be retained for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any additional period required by tax, accounting, consumer, e-commerce, data protection or other applicable legislation.

Different retention periods may apply to different categories of data. When the purpose and legal basis for processing end, personal data should be deleted, destroyed or anonymised in accordance with applicable law.

Appropriate technical and administrative measures should be applied to reduce the risks of unauthorised access, unlawful processing, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction of personal data.

Access to personal data should be limited to persons who need it to perform the relevant service or business function.

However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet can provide an absolute guarantee of security.

Subject to the applicable conditions under KVKK, you may exercise the following rights by applying to the data controller:

When the Leather Bodrum website is used, limited technical information may be processed to maintain website security, identify technical issues, prevent misuse and operate website functions.

When you use a contact or enquiry form, information you voluntarily provide may be processed to respond to your request, discuss products, arrange a store visit or support a made-to-measure enquiry.

Strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies may be used to operate the website, maintain security and provide essential functions.

Analytics, advertising, personalisation or other non-essential technologies should be used only where an appropriate legal basis exists and, where explicit consent is required, after the visitor has made a choice.

You can manage your cookie preferences on the Cookie Settings page.

Leather Bodrum may include links to or integrations with WhatsApp, Google Maps, payment services, social media platforms or other third-party services.

When you use an external service, that provider’s own privacy and data processing terms may apply.

Promotional or campaign communications by SMS, email, telephone, WhatsApp or similar channels should be sent only where the permissions and legal conditions required by applicable law are met.

Making a product enquiry, requesting a price or making a purchase does not automatically mean that you consent to unrelated promotional messages.

This Data Protection and Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in legislation, Leather Bodrum services, website technologies, service providers or personal data processing activities.

The current version takes effect when it is published on the Leather Bodrum website. The “Last Updated” date at the top of the page indicates the latest revision.
