Personal data in the category of identity, contact, location, customer transaction, finance, marketing data can be transferred to foreign countries declared to have adequate security by the Board.


9. DESTRUCTION OF PERSONAL DATA

This policy has been established to set forth the procedure regarding what will be the fate of the personal data, under which procedures and principles it will be deleted, destroyed, or anonymized upon the request of data owners whose personal data are processed with their explicit consent or when the purposes for processing and collecting personal data is not valid anymore.


The operations will be carried out in line with the procedures and principles specified in the "Regulation on the Deletion, Destruction or Anonymization of Personal Data".


All operations regarding the deletion, destruction, or anonymization of personal data are recorded and these records are kept for at least three (3) years, excluding other legal obligations.


Personal data is kept by us for the purpose and scope specified in this Policy and they are destroyed as a result of the termination of the relevant processes and the disappearance of the situations requiring the storage of personal data or the request of the person concerned or the decision of the Board.


1. Technical and Administrative Measures Taken for the Legal Destruction of Personal Data

Secure Deletion from Software: We delete the data processed by fully or partially automated means and stored in digital media and implement methods for the deletion of the data from the relevant software in a way to make it inaccessible and unusable in any way for the relevant users.


Deletion of Related Data in the Cloud System by a Deletion Command: Removing the access rights of the relevant user on the file or the directory where the file is located on the central server, deletion of related rows in databases with database commands, or deleting the data in flash media or portable media using appropriate software can be considered in this context.


However, if the deletion of personal data will result in the inaccessibility of other data within the system and makes them unable to use, personal data will also be deemed deleted if personal data is archived in a way that cannot be associated with the person concerned only if the following conditions are met.


  • Being unable to access any other institution, organization, and/or person,
  • Taking all necessary technical and administrative measures to ensure that only authorized persons can access personal data,


Secure Deletion by an Expert: In some cases, our company may hire an expert for the deletion of personal data on its behalf. In this case, the personal data is securely deleted by the person who is an expert in this field, so that it cannot be accessed and reused in any way for the relevant users.


Blackening of Personal Data in Paper: It is the method of making personal data unreadable by using fixed ink and blackening it irreversibly and unreadable by technological solutions or removing the relevant personal data from the document by physically cutting to prevent the misuse of personal data or to delete the data requested to be deleted.


Destruction of Personal Data:


De-magnetization: It is a method of corrupting the data on it in an unreadable way by passing the magnetic media through special devices where it will be exposed to high magnetic fields.


Physical Destruction: Personal data can also be processed in non-automatic ways as a part of any data recording system. A system of physical destruction of personal data is implemented in a way that it cannot be used later on while destroying such data. Destruction of data in paper and electronic media must be carried out in this way since they cannot be destroyed in any other way.


Overwriting: Overwriting method refers to writing random data consisting of 0s and 1s at least seven times via magnetic media and rewritable optical media via special software.


Anonymization Methods That Do Not Ensure Value Distortion

Anonymization methods that do not provide value irregularity are the generalization, replacement of any personal data group, or the removal of a certain data or sub-data group from the group without making any changes or additions/removals to the stored personal data.


Variable Subtraction: The existing data set is anonymized by removing the “highly descriptive” ones with the method of extracting descriptive data from the variables in the data set created after the collected data were brought together.


Record Subtraction: In the record subtraction method, the stored data is anonymized by subtracting data row records containing singularity among the data.


Regional Hiding: Hiding the relevant data provides anonymization in the regional hiding method if a single piece of data has a determinative feature because it creates a very rarely visible combination.


Lower and Upper Bound Coding: The values in a data group containing predefined categories are anonymized by determining a certain criterion and combining them in the lower and upper bound coding method


Generalization: A lot of data is aggregated with the data aggregation method and personal data are rendered incapable of being associated with any person.


Global Coding: A more general content is created than the content of personal data with the data derivation method and it is ensured that personal data cannot be associated with any person. For example, using ages instead of dates of birth or using region of residence instead of the full address.


Distortion Adding: Distortion adding is when the data is anonymized by adding some positive and negative deviations at the determined rate to the existing data in a data set where numerical data is predominant.


Micro Combining: All data is first arranged in a meaningful order and divided into groups in the micro combining method and anonymization is provided by replacing the relevant data in the current group with the value obtained by taking the average of the groups.


Data Exchange: The values of a variable are exchanged between the pairs selected from the stored data in the data exchange method.


During the execution of the above-mentioned operations, we have full compliance with the provisions of the LPPD, the Regulation, and other relevant legislation to ensure data security and take all necessary administrative and technical measures.


2. Periodic Destruction Process of Personal Data

Personal data within GÖKÇAĞ KUMAŞCILIK INDUSTRY AND TRADE INCORPORATED COMPANY will be checked at periodic intervals of six (6) months without prejudice to the legal rights arising from the law to justify the legitimate interest of the data controller, not destroying the data obtained within the statute of limitations or abusive periods and those which their processing conditions have been completely eliminated will be deleted, destroyed, or anonymized.


The destruction period of your job applications has been determined as 2 months.


On the date on which the obligation to delete, destroy or anonymize personal data arises, personal data will be deleted, destroyed, or anonymized in the first periodic destruction process.
