Privacy notice on the protection of personal data

Under Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data ("KVKK"), we, ParselX ("ParselX", "we"), the operator of the parselx.com.tr website, process your personal data as data controller for the purposes and within the limits explained in this notice. For questions: [email protected].

Details about land sale and land search requests are also given in the Privacy notice for land requests.

1. What personal data do we process?

• Identity and contact: your mobile phone number (required to sign in); optionally, your name and surname and your email address.
• Membership and customer transactions: membership date, time of acceptance of the privacy notice, membership package and subscription periods, the watch list in your account (province, district, neighbourhood, block / parcel, area and boundary of the parcels you follow), plan change notifications, the notification regions (province / district) you choose for public land sales and the listing notifications for those regions, and your SMS preferences.
• Orders, payment and invoicing: when you buy a paid membership, your billing details (name and surname or company name, email, optionally your Turkish ID number (T.C. kimlik no); for corporate purchases, tax office and tax number; billing address), order records (package, amount, date, order number), the transaction details returned by the payment institution (transaction number, number of instalments, card brand and the last 4 digits of the card), and the pre-information form and distance sales contract you approved, with the time of approval. Your card number and card details never reach us; payment is taken on the secure page of a licensed payment institution.
• Link suggestions: when you suggest a municipal zoning query page, the address you suggest and your note; if you are signed in, the suggestion is associated with your account.
• Plan Assistant: the questions you type into the Plan Assistant, the answers given and the parcel information sent with the question (location, block / parcel, area, the land type recorded on the title deed, plan sheet, and the type of use estimated from the plan colour).
• Transaction security: IP address, browser and device information, session and sign-in records, verification code records (the code itself is not stored; only a one-way hash is kept for verification), security and abuse records, and audit records of administrative actions.
• Usage statistics: a daily visit record with a random visitor ID given to your browser; which site you came from, device type and operating system only as total counts; how often features are used (e.g. opening a tab, printing).

The parcels you search for and your map preferences are stored only in your browser (on your device); they are sent to our server for the parcel query and the report calculation, but are not kept on the server in association with your personal data. Parcel queries are made to the open service of the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre (TKGM) via our server; only the coordinates or the block / parcel details go to TKGM, not your identity. In the zoning plans (e-Plan) section, the parcel's boundary (its coordinates) is sent via our server to the e-Plan system and the TUCBS service of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change; your identity is not sent. When you open a plan image on the map, the image comes to your browser directly from the Ministry's server (in doing so, your IP address reaches the Ministry's servers). The boundaries of the parcels on your watch list are queried in the same way once a day to find plans put on public display. For the solar (GES) potential calculation, the parcel's approximate location (coordinates rounded to about 1 km, or to 100 m for coastal parcels) is sent via our server to the PVGIS service of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre; your identity and IP address are not sent.

Land report card: When you create a report card, the parcel's identifier (TKGM neighbourhood / block / parcel, or in North Cyprus the boundary you uploaded / drew) comes to our server; the content of the report card is generated from public sources and stored, and can be seen by anyone who has the short link or the QR code (it is closed to search engines). Your name and phone number do not appear on the report card; only if you choose "add my company details" are the company name, authorisation certificate number, contact details and logo you enter published on the report card. How many times the report card page has been opened is kept only as a number; the identity or IP address of the person opening it is not associated with the report card. You can cancel your report cards at any time; the content of an expired or cancelled report card is deleted after 90 days. If you delete your account, your report cards are cancelled and your company details and logo are deleted.

Field mode (location): If you grant location permission, your phone's location and compass heading are used only on your device, while the page is open, to work out whether you are inside the parcel and how far you are from its corners; they are not sent to us and not stored. Only when you tap "Find the parcel I'm on" is your position at that moment sent to our server for the TKGM parcel query, as with a query made by tapping the map; this point is not written to the server logs and is not associated with your identity. You can withdraw the permission at any time in your browser settings. A link created with "Share" contains only the parcel's block / parcel details, not your location. The app added to your home screen stores only the files of the offline page on your device, so that it can open without an internet connection.

2. For what purposes, and on what legal grounds?

• Membership, sign-in and account management (phone verification, session), providing the map, parcel queries and reports, sending watch list, plan change and public land sale region notifications (on the site and by SMS), generating Plan Assistant answers, taking paid membership orders, collecting payment, starting the membership, refunds and reminders about the end of membership: KVKK Art. 5/2 (c) — establishment or performance of a contract.
• Obligations arising from legislation (issuing invoices, keeping commercial books and records, requests from competent authorities): Art. 5/2 (ç) — legal obligation.

• Sharing your land request with a business partner and sending you commercial messages are based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 5/1); the details are in the request texts.

Plan change SMS messages are informational messages about a parcel you have chosen to follow; they contain no advertising. You can turn SMS notifications off at any time under My account › My watch list. Payment confirmation and membership expiry reminder SMS messages also relate only to the membership you have bought; you can turn the reminders off under My account.
