Information processed and purposes
Contact details and project enquiries you share by email, phone or WhatsApp are used to respond and prepare quotations. The server may process your IP address and technical request information to deliver the site and maintain security. Third-party communication channels also apply their own privacy terms.

Contact and quotation information is collected directly from you; technical access information is collected electronically. Depending on your enquiry, relevant legal grounds may include steps towards a contract, contractual performance, legal obligations, protecting rights and legitimate interests that do not override your rights. Optional analytics requires your consent. Hosting and communication providers and competent public authorities may receive data where necessary. Tools involving international transfers require a separate assessment.
Retention and your rights
Information is retained for the period needed to handle your enquiry and provide the service, subject to applicable legal retention duties. Contact info@mercandijital.com to exercise your rights under Article 11 of the Turkish data protection law. Where applicable, you may also request access, correction, deletion, object to processing or withdraw consent. Your rights to contact a competent data protection authority remain available.
Cookie and local storage policy
