Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 September 2026

This privacy policy explains how your information is protected when you use the avyildizsahin.com website. Detailed information on the purposes and legal grounds for processing your personal data is provided in the KVKK Information Notice, while information on the cookies used on the site is provided in the Cookie Policy.

1. Professional Secrecy and Confidentiality

Pursuant to Article 36 of the Attorneyship Law No. 1136, an attorney is obliged not to disclose matters entrusted to them or learned by them in the course of their legal profession. Requests submitted through the site are handled in accordance with this principle of confidentiality and are used solely for the assessment of the request.

However, submitting a contact form or sharing information by e-mail does not, by itself, establish an attorney–client relationship. The attorney–client relationship is established by a written attorneyship agreement and power of attorney following mutual agreement.

2. When Sharing Information Through the Site

• During the initial contact, it is sufficient to describe your dispute briefly and in general terms. Do not send documents such as case files, identity-card copies or medical reports through the form; if such documents are required, they will be requested securely during the consultation.
• Please do not share sensitive personal data (such as health information, criminal convictions, religion or ethnic origin) unless necessary.
• Please share information concerning third parties only to the extent necessary for the assessment of your request.
• E-mail is a means of communication that does not provide complete security during transmission. We recommend sharing confidential information during the consultation.

3. What Information Is Collected?

The site collects only the information necessary for its operation:

• Information that you voluntarily enter in the contact or consultation form (name and surname, telephone number, e-mail address, subject and message, and your preferred consultation date and time),
• Technical information recorded by the server during your visit to the site (IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, time of visit and referring address).

No tracking tools for advertising, marketing or creating user profiles are used on the site. Visit statistics are not sent to a third-party analytics service; they are kept on the site's own server. IP addresses are deleted after 90 days.

4. Security Measures

Reasonable technical and administrative measures are taken to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss and misuse. These measures include:

• Encryption of communication between the site and your browser using SSL/TLS (HTTPS),
• Restricting access to the administration panel through individual accounts, strong passwords and authorization levels,
• Logging login attempts and protection against unwanted submissions,
• Backing up data and deleting it when the applicable retention periods expire.

The absolute security of no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed. If a security breach is detected, the necessary notifications will be made pursuant to Article 12 of the KVKK.

5. Third-Party Links and Services

The site may contain links to public sources such as the Court of Cassation, the Council of State and the Official Gazette, as well as links to social media accounts. avyildizsahin.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites; we recommend that you review the privacy policies of the relevant sites. Fonts used on the site may be loaded from the Google Fonts service, and images from Instagram posts may be loaded from Meta servers.

6. Children's Privacy

The site is not intended for persons under 18 years of age. Applications made on behalf of persons under 18 must be submitted by a parent or guardian.
