1. Being expressly provided for by law.

Cases such as the processing of personal data while keeping personnel files of employees within the framework of the Labour Law and its legislation, or in the context of invoicing transactions within the framework of tax legislation, are cases expressly provided for by law, and personal data is processed lawfully by the Company.

2. Being mandatory for the protection of the life or bodily integrity of the person themselves or of another person, where the person is unable to express their consent due to actual impossibility or where their consent is not legally valid.

In cases such as an accident, where it is not possible to obtain explicit consent from the data subject, personal data processing takes place.

3. The processing of personal data of the parties to a contract being necessary, provided that it is directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract.

4. Being mandatory for the Data Controller to fulfil its legal obligation.

These are, in particular, personal data requested by the Social Security Institution (SGK), the tax authority and police departments, and processing this data is an obligation of the data controller.

5. The personal data having been made public by the data subject themselves.

This is the case where personal data has been made public and accessible to everyone in any way by the person themselves. Such data is permitted to be processed lawfully without seeking the explicit consent of the person.

Pursuant to Article 12 of the Law, the Data Controller is obliged to take all necessary technical and administrative measures to ensure an appropriate level of security in order to prevent the unlawful processing of and access to personal data and to ensure its retention.

Personal data must be protected, both in the electronic and physical environment, against unauthorised access, unlawful processing and disclosure, and accidental loss, alteration or destruction. To ensure this security, Yoyo determines procedures and rules, ensures that the measures to be taken are at the current level of science and technology, reviews them periodically, prepares status reports and updates them where necessary.

The personal data processed has been classified and an appropriate protection mechanism has been determined. The main technical measures taken by Yoyo are:

A. Administrative Measures

1. In the personal data protection compliance process, including the Law on the Protection of Personal Data, the relevant secondary legislation and Board decisions, the Company's organisation chart was drawn up, and then the Personal Data Inventory was prepared by each unit checking the personal data it processes.

2. The inventory is continuously updated and reflects the Company's most up-to-date data processing activities.

3. The personal data processed has been assessed for each data processing activity, taking into account the legal and actual requirements. For personal data that was found not to be required to be processed on the basis of legal necessity, contractual requirement and the other legal grounds regulated in Article 5 of the Law, the following has been ensured:

a) Where applicable, its destruction with respect to data already collected retrospectively,

b) Going forward, by revising the data processing activity appropriately, that personal data not required to be processed is not processed.

The data processing policy and trainings state that data processing activities are to be shaped in accordance with the fundamental principles of the Law, so that the minimum amount of personal data is processed for the relevant purpose.

The personal data processed in this way is reduced as far as possible.

4. The Technical and Administrative Measures applied by the Company within the scope of personal data protection have been reviewed. The existing risks and threats have been identified, and the measures to be taken have been put into practice after consultation with the relevant department managers.

5. Personal data security policies and procedures have been prepared and put into practice. In this context:

  • General Personal Data Protection Policy

8. A Personal Data Protection Committee has been established, and an Administrative Manager, a Legal Manager and an IT Manager have been appointed as committee members. An Internal Directive and other texts determining the duties and powers of the Committee have been prepared. The Committee and employees are ensured to take an active role in monitoring personal data security through their own duties, the planned periodic and random audits, and trainings covering all Company employees.

9. Company employees are informed, both through in-house procedures and in trainings, about reporting to the Committee the personal data security issues they identify. Where the Committee identifies data security issues as a result of such notifications, its own duties or internal audits, it reports them to the Company management together with proposed solutions.

10. An internal audit policy and procedure have been prepared, and the persons responsible for conducting internal audits have been determined. Considering the limited amount of personal data processed by the Company and the Company's high security standards, an annual period has been set for internal audits. The next internal audit has been planned for October-December 2021.

9. The security of personal data stored in the cloud is ensured.

It was established at the time of procuring the service that the cloud service provider applies adequate technical and administrative measures, and continuity is ensured by checking the service provider's periodic audit reports. In addition, a two-factor authentication method is used to access personal data stored in the cloud, and personal data in the cloud is stored encrypted.

10. Data masking is applied where necessary.

Where different units use the same application and unit employees have different access authorisations to personal data, personal data is protected against unauthorised access by masking.

11. Personal data is backed up and the security of the backed-up personal data is also ensured.

C. Measures for special categories of personal data

1. A separate, systematic, manageable and sustainable policy and procedure with clearly defined rules has been determined for the security of special categories of personal data.

b) If it needs to be transferred via media such as Portable Memory, CD or DVD, it is encrypted using cryptographic methods and the cryptographic key is kept in a different environment,

c) If a transfer is carried out between servers in different physical environments, the data transfer is carried out by setting up a VPN between the servers or by the sFTP method,

ç) If the data needs to be transferred on paper, the necessary measures are taken against risks such as the documents being stolen, lost or seen by unauthorised persons, and the documents are sent in the “classified documents” format.

VIII. Data Retention Periods

Yoyo retains personal data for the period stipulated in the relevant legislation; where no period is stipulated in the legislation, it retains personal data for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it is processed. If the purpose of processing personal data has ended and the end of the retention periods stipulated in the relevant legislation has been reached, it may be retained only for the purpose of serving as evidence in potential legal disputes, asserting the relevant right related to the personal data or establishing a defence. A "Personal Data Retention and Destruction Policy"regulating retention periods and destruction methods in detail has been prepared and put into practice.

IX. Deletion, Destruction and Anonymisation of Data

Although personal data has been processed in accordance with the relevant legislation, where the reasons requiring its processing no longer exist, it is deleted, destroyed or anonymised by us as a result of our periodic reviews carried out every 6 months or upon the request of the data subject (and if there is no statutory retention obligation).

1. Deletion and Destruction of Personal Data

Deletion of personal data is the process of making personal data inaccessible and unusable in any way for the relevant users. Destruction of personal data is the process of making personal data inaccessible, irretrievable and unusable in any way by anyone.

The data controller is obliged to take all necessary technical and administrative measures regarding the deletion and destruction of personal data.

The Company uses the methods of physically destroying the relevant data carriers, securely deleting by software and having data securely deleted by an expert.

2. Anonymisation of Personal Data

This is making personal data impossible to associate in any way with an identified or identifiable natural person, even by matching it with other data.

Yoyo applies the methods of masking, data derivation, pseudonymisation, aggregation and data hashing.

Yoyo records all operations carried out regarding the deletion, destruction and anonymisation of personal data, and such records are retained for at least three years, excluding other legal obligations.

3. Appointment of Responsible Persons and Duties

Responsible persons have been appointed and duties have been defined for the procedures for deleting, destroying and anonymising personal data.

X. Data Breach Procedure

A Data Breach is a security breach that results in situations such as accidental or unlawful access to, or access by unauthorised persons to, disclosure, transmission, loss, alteration or destruction of personal data.

Where personal data processed in these ways is obtained by others through unlawful means, Yoyo employees immediately inform the data protection committee or the officers of the relevant unit, and Yoyo notifies the Personal Data Protection Board and the data subject of the situation without delay. The Board may, if it deems necessary, announce this situation on its own website/application or by another method it deems appropriate.

The data protection committee takes the urgent measures set out in the Personal Data Policy to end the data breach.

XI. Internal Data Audit

Annual periodic and random internal audits are carried out for ensuring personal data security and compliance with the legislation, and the findings are reported and continuously improved.

XII. Rights of the Data Subject

Data subjects have the right to:

  • Learn whether their personal data is processed,
  • Request information if their personal data has been processed,
  • Learn the purpose of processing of personal data and whether it is used in accordance with that purpose,
  • Know the third parties to whom personal data is transferred domestically or abroad,
  • Request the rectification of personal data if it has been processed incompletely or inaccurately, and request that the action taken in this context be notified to third parties to whom the personal data has been transferred,
  • Request the erasure or destruction of personal data where the reasons requiring its processing no longer exist, even though it has been processed in accordance with the provisions of the Law and other relevant laws, and request that the action taken in this context be notified to third parties to whom the personal data has been transferred,
  • Object to a result arising against the person through the analysis of the processed data exclusively by automated systems,
  • Request compensation for damages in the event of suffering damage due to the unlawful processing of personal data.

However, the Law regulates cases in which these rights cannot be exercised in favour of data subjects. In Article 28 of the Law, these cases are listed as follows:

  • Processing of personal data for purposes such as research, planning and statistics by anonymising it with official statistics,
  • Processing of personal data for artistic, historical, literary or scientific purposes or within the scope of freedom of expression, provided that it does not violate national defence, national security, public safety, public order, economic security, the privacy of private life or personal rights, or constitute a crime,
  • Processing of personal data within the scope of preventive, protective and intelligence activities carried out by public institutions and organisations assigned and authorised by law to ensure national defence, national security, public safety, public order or economic security,
  • Processing of personal data by judicial authorities or enforcement authorities in relation to investigation, prosecution, trial or enforcement proceedings,

The data subject's requests to exercise the rights specified above may be sent, with an application containing explanations regarding the relevant right together with documents identifying the person: in writing by registered mail with return receipt to Yoyo Bilgi Teknolojileri ve Turizm Ticaret A.Ş. Etiler Mahallesi Arnavutköy Yolu Sokak No:3, Beşiktaş/İstanbul, or to the registered electronic mail (KEP) address yoyodrive@hs03.kep.tr with a secure electronic signature, or by means of the “Application Form”. The Company may request additional information and documents in order to verify the identity of the applicant.

If the request additionally incurs a cost, the Company may charge a fee according to the tariff to be determined by the Personal Data Protection Board.

The Company has provided the environment to conclude the application as soon as possible and within thirty days at the latest, depending on the nature of the request, and has defined and put into practice the application procedure and duties. The Company will accept the data subject's request or reject it by explaining its reasons, and will notify the data subject of its response in writing or electronically.
