Effective Date: September 21, 2026
This page explains how to exercise your rights under Article 11 of Turkish Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data against VARANTECH ENERJİ SAN. TİC. LTD. ŞTİ. It follows the Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles of Application to the Data Controller.
The Turkish text of this page is the authoritative version; this English version is provided for information. Where the two differ, the Turkish text governs.
No fee is charged for your application. We respond as soon as possible given the nature of the request, and in any event within thirty days.
Article 5(1) of the Communiqué lists the application methods exhaustively. You may use any of the following:
The application date is the date the document is served on us for written applications, and the date the request reaches us for the other methods. The thirty-day period runs from that date.
Article 4(2) of the Communiqué requires applications to be made in Turkish. If you write in another language we will not reject your application; we will contact you so that you can resubmit it in Turkish, and the period will run from the new application.
Article 5(2) of the Communiqué makes the following mandatory. Missing information will delay the handling of your application.
Attaching the information and documents relating to your request helps us conclude it faster. If you are applying on behalf of someone else, attach a special power of attorney or the document evidencing custody or guardianship.
We ask for no more than the minimum information needed to verify your identity. Where identity cannot be verified we cannot conclude the request, because doing so would disclose your data to a third party.
These are your rights under Article 11 of the Law. It is enough to state which one you are exercising.
Requests are concluded as soon as possible given their nature, and in any event within thirty days. We either accept the request or refuse it with reasons, and we notify our reply in writing or electronically.
Under Article 6(4) of the Communiqué our reply contains: information about the data controller; the applicant's name and surname, identity or passport number, address for service and, if any, email, telephone and fax details; the subject of the request; and our explanations concerning it.
Fee: your application is concluded free of charge as a rule. Under Article 7 of the Communiqué, where the reply is given in writing the first ten pages are free; a processing fee of 1 Turkish Lira may be charged for each page beyond ten. Where the reply is given on a recording medium such as a CD or flash drive, the fee that may be charged cannot exceed the cost of that medium.
If the application arises from our own error, any fee charged is refunded.
If you uploaded a file through a Quote3D widget embedded on another company's website, that company is the data controller for that data and we are its data processor.
In that case we cannot decide your request on the merits, because the decision is not ours to make. We will confirm that we received your application, direct you to the data controller, and inform that controller that you applied.
If your application is refused, if you find our reply insufficient, or if we fail to reply within the period, you may lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Board.
The complaint period is thirty days from the date you learn of the reply, and in any event sixty days from the date of your application. You must have applied to us before applying to the Board.
