We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share data only with the following sub-processors, under contractual obligations that ensure equivalent levels of protection:

Google reCAPTCHA

Bot & spam prevention

Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or Turkey, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent safeguards.

6. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data:

  • HTTPS (TLS 1.2+) enforced on all connections with HSTS preload
  • API keys and secrets stored as environment variables, never in source code
  • Same-origin CORS policy on all API endpoints
  • IP-based rate limiting to prevent brute-force and enumeration attacks
  • Non-root container execution with read-only filesystem where possible
  • Access restricted to authorised personnel only

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay in accordance with GDPR Article 34 and KVKK Article 12.
