Data Processing Agreement

This translation is provided for convenience; the Turkish text prevails.

1. Parties and roles

This agreement (the "DPA") is an annex to and part of the Cloud Service and Subscription Agreement (the "Service Agreement"). Its parties are:

The DPA is accepted on the Customer's behalf by its authorised person, who declares that they are authorised to bind the company.

Data iyibir processes for its own purposes (account, invoice, support and security data of the Customer's users) is outside this DPA; iyibir is the data controller for it and the Privacy Notice (KVKK) applies.

2. Definitions

The definitions of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK") and its secondary legislation apply in this DPA. In addition:

3. Subject, purpose and duration of processing

4. Data categories and data subjects

The personal data processed depends on the Customer's Logo installation, the data sources it connects and the Users' questions. Typically:

5. Instructions

  1. iyibir processes Customer Data only on the Customer's documented instructions. The Service Agreement, this DPA, the Customer's panel and product settings and Users' requests and approvals in the Service are the Customer's instructions.
  2. iyibir does not use Customer Data for its own purposes, sell it, share it with third parties or use it to train artificial intelligence models.
  3. If iyibir believes an instruction breaches the law, it tells the Customer without delay and may suspend carrying it out.
  4. If law or a decision of a competent authority compels iyibir to disclose Customer Data, iyibir notifies the Customer before disclosure unless prohibited.

6. Security measures

Based on Article 12 KVKK and the Board's Personal Data Security Guide, iyibir applies the following technical and organisational measures:

7. Sub-processors

The Customer gives iyibir general authorisation to use the following sub-processors:

  1. This list is published in its current form in the panel as it changes.
  2. iyibir enters into a written agreement with each sub-processor containing obligations no less protective than those in this DPA, and is responsible to the Customer for the sub-processor's performance.
  3. Adding a new sub-processor or replacing an existing one is announced in the panel and to the authorised person's e-mail address at least 30 days before the sub-processor gets access to Customer Data. The Customer may object on reasonable grounds within that period; if the parties find no solution, the Customer may terminate the Service Agreement under its Section 16; iyibir refunds the price of the bought and unused credits under that Section.
  4. If iyibir later runs the language model on its own server in Türkiye, this is announced as the removal of a sub-processor.

Vercel Inc. (USA), which serves the static files of the panel and web interfaces, does not access Customer Data; it processes only the IP and request details of the person opening a page, which is described in the Privacy Notice. iyzico (İyzi Ödeme ve Elektronik Para Hizmetleri A.Ş., Türkiye), which takes payments, does not access Customer Data either; payment and billing details are described in the Privacy Notice.

8. Transfers abroad

  1. Customer Data sent to the language model is processed by OpenAI in the USA; Customer Data in e-mails is processed by Google outside Türkiye. OpenAI not storing requests does not change this: because the data leaves Türkiye to be processed, this is a transfer abroad within the meaning of Article 9 KVKK.
  2. As there is no adequacy decision of the Personal Data Protection Board for these countries, iyibir makes these transfers under Article 9 KVKK as amended by Law No. 7499 and the Regulation on the Procedures and Principles for the Transfer of Personal Data Abroad, using the Board's processor-to-processor standard contract, and notifies each contract to the Personal Data Protection Authority within 5 business days of signature.
  3. As data controller, the Customer informs data subjects of this transfer in its privacy notice.
  4. iyibir transfers no Customer Data abroad other than as set out in this Section and Section 7.

9. Breach notification

  1. When iyibir becomes aware of a Breach affecting Customer Data it notifies the Customer without delay and at the latest within 48 hours, to the authorised person's e-mail address and in the panel.
  2. The notice states, as far as known at the time, when the Breach happened, its nature, the categories of data and approximate number of people affected, its likely consequences, the measures taken and proposed, and iyibir's contact person; it is completed as new information becomes known.
  3. iyibir takes the measures needed to contain the Breach at once and provides the information and help the Customer needs to notify the Personal Data Protection Board within 72 hours and to notify data subjects.
  4. Notifying the Board and data subjects is the Customer's obligation as data controller; iyibir does not notify on the Customer's behalf without the Customer's written request.

10. Data subject requests and assistance

  1. If a data subject request about Customer Data reaches iyibir directly, iyibir does not answer it and forwards it to the Customer without delay.
  2. iyibir provides reasonable help for the Customer to answer requests under Article 11 KVKK, assess data security and meet requests from the Board. For help requiring more than ordinary effort, the parties agree the fee in advance.

11. Customer obligations

As data controller the Customer:

  1. undertakes that it has a legal basis to process the data it connects to the Service, that it has informed data subjects, including of the transfer to iyibir and abroad, and that it has obtained their explicit consent where required.
  2. defines the payroll data source only when it needs it; meets the conditions of Article 6 KVKK and the adequate measures the Board requires for special categories of data; and uses product roles so that only the Users who need it can reach payroll data.
  3. defines only a read-only database user for the PaaS Agent and keeps the server on which the agent runs secure.
  4. manages its Users and their permissions inside the products, and closes the access of people who leave.

12. Audit

  1. To show compliance with this DPA, iyibir provides once a year, on the Customer's written request, documents and information describing its security measures.
  2. If that is not enough, or the Board requires it, the Customer may carry out an audit with at least 30 days' written notice, in business hours, without disrupting iyibir's operations and through an independent auditor bound by confidentiality. The Customer bears the cost of the audit; the audit does not include access to other customers' data. If the audit finds a breach, iyibir asks nothing of the Customer for its own costs.

13. Deletion and return

  1. When the Service Agreement ends, Customer Data is kept for 30 days, during which the Customer may export it. If the Customer asks in writing within that period, iyibir delivers the data under Section 11 of the Service Agreement.
  2. At the end of the period deletion starts and is completed, backups included, at the latest 90 days after the day the Service Agreement ended.
  3. The Customer's core business data is in its own Logo database; iyibir keeps no copy of that database, so it is not affected by this deletion.
  4. iyibir keeps records it must keep by law (for example the audit trail of write operations, invoices) only for that purpose and for the statutory period.
  5. On the Customer's request iyibir confirms in writing that deletion is complete.

14. Liability

The parties' liability under this DPA is subject to Section 17 of the Service Agreement. This does not remove liabilities that KVKK imposes on the data controller and data processor as mandatory rules; under Article 12/2 KVKK the parties are jointly responsible for security measures.

15. Term, changes and acceptance

  1. The DPA takes effect together with the Service Agreement and lasts until the deletion under Section 13 is complete.
  2. A new version of the DPA takes effect under the procedure in Section 21 of the Service Agreement (announcement at least 30 days ahead, renewed acceptance, termination right for a Customer who does not accept). Sub-processor changes are governed by Section 7 and need no new version of the DPA.
  3. Acceptance is recorded electronically with the document version, content fingerprint, accepting person and company, time and IP address.
  4. If the DPA and the Service Agreement conflict, the DPA prevails as to personal data.
  5. The DPA is governed by Turkish law; jurisdiction is as in the Service Agreement. The Turkish text is binding.
