We protect your data with administrative and technical measures such as limiting access to the dietitian, encrypted connections (HTTPS) and password-protected devices and accounts. We never sell or rent your personal data.

8. Your rights

Under Article 11 of the KVKK you may ask us whether we process your personal data and request information about it; learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used accordingly; know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom it is transferred; ask for incorrect or incomplete data to be corrected; ask for your data to be erased or destroyed under Article 7; ask for corrections and erasures to be notified to recipients; object to a result that is against you and arises solely from automated analysis; and claim compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing. You may withdraw your consent at any time; this does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal.

If you live in the EU, the UK or another country with its own data protection law (for example the UAE or Qatar), you may have additional rights under that law, such as data portability or the right to restrict processing, and you may also complain to your local data protection authority. Please contact us and we will respond in line with the law that applies to you.
