For any privacy question or request, contact us at [email protected] or +90 850 303 51 13.
2. Information we collect
We only collect the information you choose to send us and limited technical information needed to run the website:
- Contact form (Contact and Become a Supplier pages): your name, company name, email address, telephone number (optional) and message. We also record the language of the page, the submission time and your IP address to help prevent spam and abuse.
- Request a Quote form: company name, company website (optional), your name, job title (optional), business email, telephone/WhatsApp number and country, together with your project details — product category and product, project type, requirements, packaging and branding preferences, target market, quantities, delivery and payment preferences, target price (optional) and notes.
- Project documents: if you choose to upload them, files such as requirement sheets, a letter of intent (LOI), reference images or packaging artwork (PDF, Word, Excel, JPG, PNG or WEBP; up to 5 files of 10 MB each).
- Email, telephone and WhatsApp: the content of messages you send us directly and the contact details they contain.
- Technical information: to keep your session and protect forms, our server stores a session record that includes your IP address, browser (user-agent) information and the time of your last activity. Our server and application also keep technical logs, for example of errors or failed email delivery.
- Website usage statistics (only if you accept analytics cookies): with Google Analytics 4 we collect the pages you view (address without query parameters, page title, language), the referring page or website, approximate location derived by Google, device and browser type, and whether a request for quotation was created. A random identifier stored in the _ga cookies links these visits. We do not send names, e-mail addresses, company names, request numbers or form content to Google.
3. How we use your information
- To respond to your enquiry or request for quotation and to communicate with you about it.
- To evaluate your sourcing project and identify suitable product, packaging and manufacturer options.
- To send you an automatic confirmation of your request for quotation and to notify our team that a new request has been received.
- To evaluate suppliers and manufacturers who introduce their capabilities to us.
- To keep the website secure, prevent spam and misuse, and investigate technical problems.
- Only with your consent: to produce aggregated statistics about how the website is used and how many requests for quotation it generates, so that we can improve it.
- To meet legal, tax or regulatory obligations that apply to us and to establish or defend legal claims.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making, and we do not sell it.
4. Legal grounds
We process personal data where it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract (for example, preparing a sourcing proposal), for our legitimate interests in operating a B2B website and responding to business enquiries, and to comply with legal obligations. Website usage statistics (Google Analytics) are processed only on the basis of your explicit consent, which you give with the “Accept” button and can withdraw at any time with “Cookie settings”. Where the law requires your consent for another use, we will ask for it.
We aim to handle personal data in line with the data protection laws that apply to us, including Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 and, where applicable to visitors from the European Economic Area, the GDPR.
5. Sharing your information
We share information only where it is needed for the purposes above:
- Manufacturers and suppliers: to evaluate your request, we may share your project information (for example product, specifications, packaging, quantities, target market and, where relevant, documents you uploaded) with suitable manufacturers or suppliers. We share your contact details with them only where this is needed to progress your project or with your agreement.
- Service providers who host the website, store data or deliver our emails on our behalf, under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
- Google (Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC) as the provider of Google Analytics, only if you have accepted analytics cookies. Google signals and advertising features are turned off.
- Authorities, courts or advisers where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
The website loads its fonts from Bunny Fonts (fonts.bunny.net), which means your browser sends your IP address to that service when it requests the font files. Links to WhatsApp open a service operated by a third party under its own privacy terms.
6. International visitors and transfers
Our business is based in Türkiye and we work with buyers and suppliers in other countries. Information you send us may therefore be processed in Türkiye and in the countries where you, the relevant manufacturers or our service providers are located. Where the law requires additional safeguards for such transfers, we take the steps required.
If you accept analytics cookies, the usage statistics described above are processed by Google on servers that may be located outside Türkiye, including in the United States. This transfer takes place on the basis of your explicit consent and the safeguards offered by Google.
7. How long we keep information
We keep enquiries, requests for quotation and uploaded documents for as long as they are needed to handle your request and any resulting business relationship, and afterwards for as long as required by applicable legal, tax or commercial record-keeping obligations or to establish or defend legal claims. Session records expire automatically after a short period of inactivity. Google Analytics data are kept for the retention period set in our account (2 months). When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. These include protection of all forms against cross-site request forgery, limits on repeated form submissions, and storage of uploaded documents in a private location that is not publicly accessible from the website. Access to submitted information is limited to people who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Cookies
We use cookies that are necessary for the website to work, such as the session and security cookies. Google Analytics cookies are used only if you accept them, and you can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings”. We do not use advertising cookies. Details are in our Cookie Policy.
10. Your rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have the right to ask whether we process your personal data, to access it, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict certain processing, to receive information about third parties it was shared with and to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.
To make a request, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will respond within the time limits set by applicable law.
11. Business users
This website is intended for business users and is not directed at children. Please share only the personal data that is needed for your enquiry and, where you send us information about colleagues or other people, make sure you are allowed to do so.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our website or practices change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
