We process personal data under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and, for visitors in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We only collect what you type into a form on this site. We do not buy personal data and we do not build profiles from third-party sources.
| Quote request form | First name, last name, company, e-mail, telephone, and the system voltage / capacity / product selections you make |
| Contact form | Name, e-mail, telephone, message |
| Dealer application form | Contact person, company, e-mail, telephone, country / region, business details you provide |
| Server logs | IP address, browser type, requested page, date and time — created automatically by the web server |
| Cookies | See section 6 |
Providing your telephone number is optional. Without a name and e-mail address we cannot respond to a request.
| Answering your quote or contact request; sizing a system for your facility | Performance of a contract or steps taken at your request · KVKK Art. 5/2-c · GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Evaluating a dealer application | Steps taken at your request · legitimate interest · KVKK Art. 5/2-f · GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Keeping records of commercial correspondence | Legal obligation · KVKK Art. 5/2-a · GDPR Art. 6(1)(c) |
| Site security and troubleshooting (server logs) | Legitimate interest · KVKK Art. 5/2-f · GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Visit statistics and advertising measurement (LinkedIn Insight Tag) | Your explicit consent · KVKK Art. 5/1 · GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) |
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects for you.
We do not sell personal data. We share it only with the service providers we need in order to run this site and respond to you:
| Recipient | Why | Where processed |
|---|---|---|
| HubSpot | Customer relationship management — form submissions arrive here | European Union (EU data centre) |
| Insight Tag — visit statistics and advertising measurement. Only if you consent. | European Union / United States | |
| Veridyen | Web hosting and server logs | Türkiye |
| Public authorities | Only where we are legally obliged to disclose | Türkiye |
Where a transfer leaves Türkiye or the EEA, it takes place on the basis permitted by KVKK Art. 9 and GDPR Chapter V, including standard contractual clauses where applicable.
We keep personal data only as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, and afterwards for the retention periods required by Turkish commercial and tax legislation. When a retention period ends, the data is deleted or anonymised. Consent-based cookie data is kept for the lifetime of the cookie stated in section 6, or until you withdraw consent — whichever comes first.
A cookie banner appears on your first visit. No tracking tag runs before you choose. If you select "Necessary only", the LinkedIn Insight Tag is never loaded.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
forte_consent | Stores your cookie choice. Strictly necessary — set without consent because it records the consent decision itself. | 6 months |
| LinkedIn Insight Tag ( li_sugr, bcookie, UserMatchHistory and similar) | Visit statistics and advertising measurement. Set by LinkedIn. Loaded only with your consent. | Set by LinkedIn |
To change your choice, delete the forte_consent cookie in your browser settings and
reload the page — the banner will appear again.
Under KVKK Art. 11 and, where it applies, the GDPR, you may ask us to:
Send your request to info@fortechnic.com with the subject line "KVKK request", or by post to the address in section 1.
We reply within 30 days at the latest, as required by KVKK Art. 13. So that we can respond safely, please include enough information to identify you and describe clearly what you are asking for.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK Kurumu). Visitors in the EU may also complain to their local supervisory authority.
If we change how we handle personal data, we update this page and change the date at the top. Material changes are announced on the site.
