KVKK privacy notice

Lode Inc., incorporated in Delaware, is the controller for its website and business inquiries. Contact: hello@lode.partners. This notice explains the initial website and email contact process under Turkish Law No. 6698 where applicable.

We receive technical request information through website hosting, and contact details, professional information and message content through email and the contact form. We use these to operate and protect the site, respond to inquiries, assess a requested engagement and manage related correspondence.

The relevant processing grounds depend on the activity: necessity for establishing or performing a requested contract under Article 5(2)(c), complying with a legal obligation under Article 5(2)(ç), establishing or protecting rights under Article 5(2)(e), and legitimate interests in secure operation and business correspondence under Article 5(2)(f), subject to your fundamental rights.

Authorized Lode personnel, Cloudflare hosting and Zoho Mail and Zoho CRM process information for these purposes. Information may also be disclosed to competent authorities when legally required. Lode is a US entity and these providers operate international infrastructure, so processing may occur outside Türkiye. This notice is not consent to an international transfer and does not claim that a particular Article 9 transfer safeguard has been completed. Do not send sensitive records in an initial inquiry; a suitable data-sharing arrangement must be established before any diagnostic data collection.

Where Law No. 6698 applies, Article 11 provides rights concerning information about processing, purpose, recipients, correction, deletion where conditions are met, notification of corrections or deletion to recipients, objection to adverse results from solely automated analysis, and compensation for unlawful processing. Send requests to hello@lode.partners, identifying the right you wish to exercise. We may need proportionate identity verification. This notice informs you; reading it is not a consent request.

Google Analytics runs only after your acceptance, for website usage measurement. Google may process browser/device data and cookie identifiers outside Türkiye. You may reject analytics or withdraw acceptance in Cookie settings. This notice does not claim that an international transfer safeguard has been independently reviewed. Details: Cookie Policy.

If you accept analytics, only predefined campaign labels and the path and ID of the last registered guide you visited are kept in sessionStorage under lode_source_session. The record is valid for up to 30 minutes and is normally cleared when the tab session ends. When you send an inquiry in the same tab after such a visit, these details may be appended as a separate source note and sent to Zoho CRM. This helps us understand which content brings inquiries; it is not a statement you supplied. The note is omitted if it would exceed the message length limit. Withdrawal clears this session record; it does not automatically delete a CRM record already sent. Without acceptance, or if browser storage is unavailable, the contact form works without the source note.
