Legal grounds for processing: establishment/performance of a contract, legal obligation, legitimate interest, and explicit consent where required. 7. DATA TRANSFER AND RETENTION 7.1.

The main providers in this scope are: Amazon Web Services (AWS, Frankfurt/European Union region) for cloud hosting, OneSignal for push notification delivery, and Resend for email delivery. These providers process your data only on our behalf and in line with our instructions. 7.2. Data is retained for as long as the processing purpose requires, taking into account the statute-of-limitation periods in the relevant legislation; at the end of the period it is deleted, destroyed, or anonymized. 7.3. Where transfer abroad is required due to the above providers, the safeguards prescribed by the KVKK are provided. 8. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT Under Article 11 of the KVKK, you have the right to learn whether your personal data is being processed, to request information, to request its correction or erasure, to object to processing, and to request compensation for damages.
