Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Ashera AI, operated from Istanbul, Türkiye, collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your personal data in accordance with Turkish data protection law. By continuing to use our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this notice prepared pursuant to Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK).

2. Data Controller and Contact

Ashera AI acts as the "data controller" under KVKK. You can reach our privacy team at support@ashera.ai for all requests covered by Article 11 of KVKK or via postal mail to our Istanbul, Türkiye address.

3. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us when you:

  • Create an account
  • Use our services
  • Contact our support team
  • Subscribe to our newsletters
  • Interact with the platform, which automatically records usage, device, and diagnostic data (IP address, browser type, timestamps)

  • Send you important updates and notifications
  • Respond to your comments and questions

5. Legal Bases for Processing

We process personal data under the lawful bases described in Articles 5 and 6 of KVKK, including the execution or performance of a contract, fulfillment of legal obligations, explicit consent when required, establishment or protection of a right, and our legitimate interests that do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate organizational and technical safeguards to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party processors (cloud hosting, analytics, payment providers) that collect or access data solely to deliver their contractual services. Each processor is bound by agreements requiring KVKK-compliant safeguards.

8. Compliance with Turkish Laws

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. We comply with KVKK, the Regulation on Data Controllers Registry (VERBIS), Law No. 5651, and the Regulation on Electronic Commerce.

10. International Data Transfers

Your personal data may be transferred to service providers located outside Türkiye (for example, within the European Union or the United States). In such cases we rely on adequacy decisions, binding agreements, or your explicit consent, and we ensure that recipients provide an equal or higher level of protection.
