At MEON Software we care about the security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains which personal data we process, for what purposes and on which legal grounds when you visit www.meonsoftware.com or contact us, in line with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK"), and serves as our privacy notice.
1. Data Controller
- Name: MEON Software
- Address: Istanbul, Türkiye

2. Personal Data We Process
We only process data you send us and data needed for the site to work:
- Contact form: full name, email address, phone number (optional), company name (optional), the service you are interested in, your message, your consent and the language you used.
- Newsletter: your email address, language preference, the status of your subscription and its confirmation and unsubscribe dates. Sign-up is double opt-in: when you submit the form we send a confirmation link to your email address, and your subscription only starts when you confirm through that link.
- Security records: to prevent abuse of forms, your IP address is stored only as a one-way hashed value; the plain IP address is not stored.
- Usage data: only if you consent to analytics cookies, Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, device and browser information, with IP anonymisation.
3. Purposes and Legal Grounds
- Responding to your requests and providing offers and information: directly related to entering into a contract (KVKK Art. 5/2-c) and the consent you give in the form.
- Sending the newsletter: the explicit consent you give through the confirmation link (KVKK Art. 5/1). Every newsletter email contains an unsubscribe link, which you can use to withdraw your consent at any time.
- Protecting the site against spam and abuse: our legitimate interest (KVKK Art. 5/2-f).
- Measuring and improving how the site is used: your explicit consent to analytics cookies (KVKK Art. 5/1).
- Fulfilling legal obligations: where required by law (KVKK Art. 5/2-a and 5/2-ç).
4. Transfers of Personal Data
We do not sell your personal data or share it with third parties for marketing. Data is shared only with the following providers, to the extent the service requires:
- Hosting: the website and database are hosted on servers in Türkiye.
- Email service: form notifications, automatic replies and newsletter confirmation emails are sent through our email provider (Hostinger), whose servers may be located abroad.
- Google LLC: only if you consent to analytics cookies, usage data is transferred abroad as part of Google Analytics.

Transfers abroad are carried out in accordance with Article 9 of the KVKK.

We use only cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to work and, with your consent, analytics cookies. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details; you can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of the page.
6. Retention Periods
- Contact form records: up to 2 years after your request is closed.
- Newsletter subscription: for as long as you remain subscribed. Unconfirmed new sign-ups are deleted after 7 days. When you unsubscribe, your email address is kept marked as "unsubscribed" as a record that you withdrew your consent; you can ask for it to be deleted as described in section 8. If you sign up again after unsubscribing but do not confirm, this unsubscribe record is kept.
- Google Analytics data: up to 14 months.
- Database backups: up to 14 days.
- Records kept under legal obligations: for the period required by the applicable law.
When the period ends, data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
