Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable privacy law requires us to identify a legal basis for processing, we rely on the following:

• Legitimate interests — responding to business inquiries you initiate, and improving the site through anonymized analytics.
• Pre-contractual steps — when you are exploring an engagement with KAFTech and we process your data in order to respond to that inquiry.
• Consent — for analytics cookies where your jurisdiction requires it.
• Legal obligation — where applicable law requires us to retain or disclose certain records.

Who We Share It With

We share personal data only when necessary:

• Google Analytics — anonymized usage data for site analytics. Google acts as a data processor. Data may be processed in the United States. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Email delivery — your contact form submissions are forwarded directly to our business inbox. No third-party CRM or marketing platform accesses this data.
• Authorities — where required by applicable law or court order.

We do not sell, rent, or transfer your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes.

How Long We Retain It

• Contact form and VERA Signal Check data — up to 24 months from submission, or until you request deletion (whichever comes first). If a consulting engagement begins, data may be retained for the duration of that engagement and as required by law thereafter.
• Analytics data — typically 14 months under Google Analytics retention settings.

Cookies and Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our content. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymized usage data including pages visited, time on site, general location (country/city level), device type, and referral source. IP addresses are anonymized before storage.

Your options:

• Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to disable tracking entirely.
• Manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.
• If your jurisdiction requires consent before placing non-essential cookies, we request it.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking scripts.

Your Rights

In addition, residents of specific jurisdictions hold the following statutory rights:

International Transfers

KAF Technology Consulting Inc. is located in the United States. If you submit personal data from outside the US, your data will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

We take reasonable steps to ensure international transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards. For transfers from the EU/EEA, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms under Chapter V of the GDPR where applicable. For all other jurisdictions, we apply the data minimization, purpose limitation, and security standards described in this policy.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The site operates over HTTPS and contact form submissions are transmitted securely.

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. If you believe your data has been compromised, please notify us immediately at figen.ozmen@kaftech.info.
