KVKK information notice

Last updated October 7, 2026

Buruj Emlak provides this notice as data controller under Article 10 of the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK"). It covers the personal data we collect through this website and while providing our brokerage services.

1. Data controller

  • Name: Buruj Emlak
  • Trade registry: Trabzon, no. 18060
  • Tax number: 1910582099
  • Address: Pelitli Mah. Şehit Alim Özburun Sok., Çamlıca Olimpiyat Evleri B Blok No: 6/B Kat: 1, 61010 Ortahisar / Trabzon, Türkiye
  • Email: info@buruj.com.tr

2. Personal data we process

  • Identity: your name.
  • Contact: phone number, email address (optional), country and preferred contact method.
  • Customer transaction: the property or project concerned, the viewing type, your message, the page address (URL) and language, and our later correspondence.
  • Transaction security: the Cloudflare Turnstile check, the hidden honeypot field and technical data such as the IP address used to send a form.
  • Marketing and analytics (explicit consent only): the campaign source (UTM parameters and referring website) and site usage data collected by Google Analytics 4.

3. Purposes of processing

  • answering your enquiries and contacting you by the method you chose;
  • arranging viewings in person or by video call;
  • providing brokerage services: property search, title deed checks, the tax number, sworn translation and land registry appointments;
  • at your request, preparing residence and citizenship files with licensed valuers and lawyers, and providing after-sales help;
  • protecting the forms and the site against spam and abuse;
  • establishing, exercising and protecting our legal rights;
  • with your explicit consent, measuring how the site is used and which campaigns bring visitors.

We collect data electronically, by fully or partly automated means: through the forms on this site, cookies and similar technologies, and the messages, calls and emails that follow your enquiry. Our legal grounds under KVKK are:

  • Article 5(2)(c): processing is necessary for setting up or performing a contract with you, such as answering your request and providing brokerage services;
  • Article 5(2)(e): processing is necessary to establish, exercise or protect a right;
  • Article 5(2)(f): processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, such as form security, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms are not harmed;
  • Explicit consent: for analytics cookies and the campaign source. You can withdraw it at any time through "Cookie settings" in the footer; this does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal.

5. Recipients and purposes of transfer

Only for the purposes above, we may transfer data to:

  • technical service providers that help us run the website, such as the email delivery service and Cloudflare (form security check), so that the site works and enquiries reach our staff;
  • Google, for Google Analytics 4, only with your explicit consent;
  • if you go ahead with a transaction, the people it requires, such as the other party, sworn translators, licensed valuers and lawyers, so that it can be completed;
  • public bodies such as the land registry, the tax office and the migration and citizenship authorities when a procedure you asked for requires it, and other authorities when the law requires it.

The email delivery service may be located outside Türkiye, and Google Analytics involves a transfer abroad. These transfers take place under the safeguards required by Article 9 of KVKK, as amended in 2024.

Our hosting and infrastructure providers can also be located abroad: the website database is hosted in the European Union (Frankfurt), and photos and the form security check are served by Cloudflare.

6. Retention

Enquiries are kept for up to 2 years after the last contact unless a contract follows, in which case the statutory periods for commercial records apply. Analytics data is kept according to your consent and the provider's retention settings.

7. Your rights under Article 11

As a data subject, you have the right to:

  • learn whether your personal data is processed;
  • request information if it has been processed;
  • learn the purpose of processing and whether the data is used for that purpose;
  • know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom it is transferred;
  • request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data;
  • request deletion or destruction under the conditions of Article 7 of KVKK;
  • request that the correction, deletion or destruction be notified to those third parties;
  • object to a result against you arising solely from analysis by automated systems;
  • claim compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.
