4. Legal bases

We collect your data electronically through our forms and the files you upload.

We rely on: the performance or preparation of a contract, our legal obligations, the establishment or defence of legal claims, and our legitimate interests where they don't override your rights (KVKK art. 5/2; GDPR art. 6(1)(b), (c), (f)). We ask for your explicit consent when you apply to share your profile with employers and to store data on servers outside Türkiye (KVKK art. 5/1 and art. 9; GDPR art. 6(1)(a)).

5. Who we share it with

• Verified employers: only your first name and last initial, trade, nationality, languages, experience, video intros and document status. Your passport, email and phone are never shown to employers; what is shared at interview and offer stage is agreed with you.
• Work permit, visa and travel: only what the process needs, with the employer and the competent authorities (e.g. the Turkish Ministry of Labour and Social Security), as required by law.
• Service providers (processors): database and file storage (Supabase, servers in the EU/Ireland), web hosting (Vercel), email delivery (Resend).
• Authorities, where the law requires.

6. International transfers

Our infrastructure providers may store data in the European Union and the United States. These transfers are based on the standard contractual clauses published by the Turkish Data Protection Authority and/or the European Commission, and on the explicit consent you give when you apply.

7. How long we keep it

• Applicant profiles and documents: up to 2 years after your last activity; if you are placed, for as long as the law requires.
• Employer accounts and job posts: while the account is active and then for statutory retention periods.
• Form requests: 1 year after the request is closed.
• After that, or when you ask us, your data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.

8. Your rights

You can ask whether we process your data, get a copy, have it corrected or deleted, learn who we shared it with, object to decisions made solely by automated means, withdraw your consent at any time, and claim compensation for unlawful processing. EU residents may also lodge a complaint with their local supervisory authority.
