Privacy Policy

Protecting your personal data is important to us. This policy explains what data is processed when you use this website.

Data Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is: Onur Bulun BLN Digital & Technology Augsburg, Germany Email: info@bln-technology.de If you have any questions about data protection, feel free to contact us at this email address at any time.

General Information on Data Processing

We only process personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. Processing generally takes place only with the user's consent, or, where consent cannot be obtained and processing is permitted by law, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

Hosting

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc. ("Vercel"). Vercel processes technically necessary data such as IP address, time of access and the content accessed in order to deliver the website. For more information, see Vercel's privacy policy: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy

Domain and Email Infrastructure

The domain and email infrastructure for this website are managed and provided via Hetzner Online GmbH ("Hetzner"). Hetzner is not responsible for hosting the website itself in this context — only for domain- and email-related infrastructure. For more information, see Hetzner's privacy policy: https://www.hetzner.com/legal/privacy-policy

Server Log Files

When you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically collects information that your browser transmits (e.g. IP address, date and time of the request, browser type, operating system used, page accessed). This data is used to ensure smooth operation and the security of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and is not combined with other data sources.

Contact Form

When you use our contact form, we process the data you provide — name, email address, optional phone number, subject and message — solely to handle your inquiry. Submission is processed server-side and sent by email (SMTP) to our inbox. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your inquiry is aimed at concluding a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry). Your details are deleted once they are no longer required to process your inquiry, unless legal retention obligations apply.

Appointment Booking (Cal.com)

We use Cal.com for appointment booking. When you make a booking, the data you enter (e.g. name, email address, details of your request, and the selected time slot) is transmitted to Cal.com and processed there to manage the appointment. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual or contractual measures). For more information, see Cal.com's privacy policy: https://cal.com/privacy

Payment Processing (PayPal)

Payments are processed via PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A.). The data required for payment processing (e.g. name, email address, payment amount) is transmitted to and processed by PayPal. Card details or other payment data are entered directly with PayPal and never pass through our servers. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract). For more information, see PayPal's privacy policy: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

Google Fonts

This website uses fonts (Google Fonts) that are integrated locally via Next.js (next/font) and self-hosted as part of the website build. As a result, visiting this website does not trigger any connection to Google's servers, and no data is transmitted to Google in this regard.

Cookies

This website uses only one functionally necessary cookie (NEXT_LOCALE), which stores your selected language (German, English or Turkish) so it doesn't need to be selected again on a repeat visit. This cookie contains no personal data and serves solely the functionality of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Embedded third-party services such as Cal.com and PayPal may set their own technically necessary cookies, which are outside our control — see the respective providers' privacy policies for details.

Analytics & Tracking

This website currently does not use any analytics or tracking services. In particular, the following are not used: Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta/Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, Google Maps, or comparable advertising tracking technologies. Should this change in the future, this privacy policy will be updated accordingly.

Recipients and Third-Country Transfers

In connection with the services described above (Vercel, Cal.com, PayPal), data may be transferred to providers based or operating servers outside the EU/EEA, particularly in the United States. These providers state that they have implemented appropriate safeguards (e.g. EU Standard Contractual Clauses) to ensure an adequate level of data protection. For more information, see the respective providers' privacy policies.

Storage Duration

Personal data is only stored for as long as necessary for the respective processing purpose, or as long as required by statutory retention periods. It is deleted or anonymized thereafter.

Your Rights

Under applicable law, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of its processing, as well as a right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing of this data, and a right to object to processing. Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. Where applicable, you also have a right to data portability. Please contact the address given above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht).
