गोपनीयता नीति

1. Summary

This Privacy Policy explains how Flexton LLC, the operator of the Qoro platform, collects, uses, stores and shares personal data when you use the Service.

In brief: we process Tenant account data under the contract we have with you; for End Customer order data, the Tenant is the Controller and we are the Processor; we transfer data to international infrastructure providers (payment, database, hosting) under appropriate safeguards.

7. Your Rights

Under KVKK Art. 11 and GDPR Art. 15–22 you have the right to:

• know whether your personal data is being processed;
• know the purposes of processing and whether they are being met;
• know the third parties to which data is disclosed domestically or abroad;
• request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data;
• request deletion or destruction (KVKK Art. 7 / GDPR Art. 17 “right to be forgotten”);

• object to automated decision-making and profiling (GDPR Art. 22);
• claim compensation for damages;
• lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (Turkish KVKK Authority or the relevant EU DPA).

8. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise your rights, send a written request to hello@qoro.cc. Under KVKK Art. 13 you may also submit a request via KEP (registered electronic mail) or a signed physical letter to our postal address. Requests are free of charge; a reasonable fee may apply for manifestly unfounded or repetitive requests. Requests are resolved within 30 days (KVKK) or one month (GDPR, extendable by two months for complex requests).

We may request additional information to verify your identity. Account holders may also use the in-platform self-service deletion/export flow (roadmap — arrives with Blok G-II).

9. Security Measures

Principal technical and organisational measures we apply:

• Encryption: AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit.
• Row-Level Security (RLS): database-level isolation by tenant_id; no Tenant can access another Tenant's data.
• Access control: least-privilege for staff, mandatory 2FA, audit logs.
• Passwords: bcrypt/argon2 hashing; plaintext passwords are never stored.
• Backups: daily automated backups with a tested disaster recovery plan.
• Infrastructure monitoring: 24/7 anomaly and security alerting; rate limiting; bot defence via Cloudflare Turnstile.
• Privacy by design: data collection is minimised; no unnecessary fields.

10. Children's Data

The Qoro platform is not directed at children under 13. In line with the US COPPA and KVKK age thresholds, we do not knowingly collect personal data of a child under 13. If we learn we have collected such data, we delete it promptly. Where a Tenant's menu is opened by a minor End Customer, data collection is limited to the Tenant's business flow and is the Tenant's responsibility.

11. Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach, we notify the Turkish KVKK Authority and, under GDPR Art. 33, the competent supervisory authority within 72 hours. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to individuals, affected users are notified directly (GDPR Art. 34 / KVKK Art. 12/5). Internal incident runbook: (internal — docs/incidents/data-breach-runbook.md).

12. Changes

We reserve the right to update this policy. For material changes, we give at least 30 days' prior notice by email and in-platform notification. The version is visible via the chip at the top of each page; version history will be published alongside the next material revision.

13. Language & Binding Version

This policy is published in Turkish and English. For users resident in Turkey, the Turkish version is binding; for users elsewhere, the English version is binding. Translations into other languages are provided for convenience only.
