Privacy and cookies
What this website collects, why, and what you can do about it. This is our information notice under Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Who we are
The data controller is Turul Danışmanlık A.Ş., Nurol Tower, İzzetpaşa Mah. Yeniyol Cad. No:3, 34387 Şişli, Istanbul, Türkiye. Smart Citizenship and Sınırsız Yatırım are its brands. For any privacy question, write to clients@smartcitizenship.com.
What we collect and why
We collect data automatically while you use the site (server logs and cookies) and from what you send us directly.
When you visit. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes your IP address and basic request data (browser, page requested, time) to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and without identifying you. Legal basis: our legitimate interest (KVKK Art. 5/2-f; GDPR Art. 6/1-f).
If you allow analytics cookies. Google Analytics records the pages you view, how you arrived, your device and browser type and your approximate location (country or city). Google Analytics does not store your IP address. We use this only to improve the site and our communication, and keep it for 14 months. Legal basis: your explicit consent (KVKK Art. 5/1; GDPR Art. 6/1-a), which you can withdraw at any time.
When you contact us. If you write to us on WhatsApp, by email or by phone, we use your name, contact details and what you tell us to answer your enquiry and, if you become a client, to provide our services. Legal basis: entering into and performing a contract, and our legitimate interest (KVKK Art. 5/2-c and f; GDPR Art. 6/1-b and f). WhatsApp is operated by Meta, and its own privacy policy also applies to messages sent through it.
Cookies
You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Cloudflare may also set a strictly necessary security cookie to filter out automated traffic.

|---|---|---|---|

Who receives your data
Cloudflare, Inc. (hosting and security) and Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC (analytics, only if you allow it) process data on our behalf. Their servers are outside Türkiye, including in the EU and the US, so using this site involves transferring data abroad. These transfers rely on the safeguards these providers offer and, for analytics, on your consent. We do not sell personal data.
Your rights
Under Article 11 of KVKK and under the GDPR, you can ask whether we process your data, get a copy, learn who it was shared with, have it corrected or deleted, object to processing, withdraw your consent and claim compensation for unlawful processing. Write to clients@smartcitizenship.com and we will answer within 30 days. You can also complain to Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Authority, or to the data protection authority where you live in the EU.
