Data Privacy Disclosure Text
Detailed information regarding the data processing activities carried out by our law firm, limited to the purposes explained for each relevant person group, is provided below.
I. Relevant Persons
1. Candidate Employee
As part of our candidate applications and recruitment activities, we collect, process and store personal data (collectively, “personal information”) that can directly or indirectly identify the candidate employee. We process personal information for a number of purposes related to the recruitment process, which may include general recruitment activities, as well as the application, evaluation and work permit of the candidate employee.
Applications will only be evaluated if the candidate employee submits their application to us at info@fdpartners.av.tr. Otherwise, the application will not be evaluated.
The term “processing” covers all activities involving the personal information of the relevant person, including the collection, processing, storage, sharing, access, use, transfer and destruction of information.
We may process a candidate’s personal information for the purposes of application, assessment, candidate research and general recruitment activities. We use the personal information we collect about candidates to identify job opportunities that we believe may be of interest to the candidate. We may occasionally contact potential candidates regarding such opportunities.
In general, we collect personal information that we obtain directly from a candidate who provides us with personal information by applying directly for a position at our law firm, or that we learn about through the candidate’s interactions with us or third parties, such as recruitment agencies. We may collect personal information about the candidate from third parties, for example, a reference person who provides information about the candidate or a colleague who recommends that we consider the applicant for a position, or other sources where the applicant’s personal information has been made public for recruitment purposes.
Where we process personal data based on the consent of the candidate, the candidate has the right to withdraw such consent at any time, unless there is another legal basis for the processing.
We may rely on the legitimate interests of our law firm to process a candidate’s personal information in the context of the application management and general recruitment purposes or the requirements of the law.
The processing will always be lawful, proportionate and in accordance with the principles of privacy law applicable in our jurisdiction. In any case, the applicant’s personal information will be stored for a period of 6 months and then destroyed in accordance with the relevant legislation if we are unable to offer him/her a position in our law firm.
In cases where it is necessary or necessary, for example for the purpose of conducting an assessment, we will need to share the applicant’s personal information internally. Sharing will be limited to what is necessary for each individual to fulfill their role in the recruitment process.
2. Contacts
If a person contacts us as a freelance lawyer for our clients (within the scope of the lawyer-client privilege and the limited powers granted in our power of attorney), we may collect the name, email address and telephone number that this person voluntarily provides to us for the sole purpose of contacting them at their request.
3. Vendors/Suppliers
In the event of an agreement with a supplier for the provision of services, we may collect the name, e-mail address and telephone number that the supplier voluntarily provides to us solely for the purpose of performing the contract with the supplier. This data may be shared with third parties, such as public institutions, if necessary to fulfill a legal obligation.
4. Clients
FATİH DURAK & PARTNERS LAW OFFICE treats client information as strictly confidential and all information collected from clients will be subject to attorney-client privilege. This information will only be collected and processed within the scope of the legal services we provide to our clients in accordance with our agreement with our clients. The processing of this data in this manner will be based on the legal purposes of compliance with legal obligations, performance of the contract, establishment, exercise or protection of a legal right and the legitimate interest of the data controller. This data will not be shared with third parties unless a specific instruction is received from the client or it is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (such as anti-money laundering obligations).
II. Rights of Relevant Persons
Relevant persons have the right to learn whether or not their personal data has been processed, to request information about the processing of personal data related to the relevant person, to learn the purpose of processing personal data and whether or not they are used in accordance with their purpose, to know the third parties to whom personal data has been transferred domestically or abroad, to request correction of personal data if it is processed incompletely or incorrectly, to request the deletion or destruction of personal data within the framework of the conditions stipulated in the law, to request that the process carried out regarding the correction, deletion or destruction of personal data be notified to third parties to whom personal data has been transferred, to object to the emergence of an adverse result by exclusively analyzing the processed data through automatic systems, and to request compensation for damages in the event of damages due to unlawful processing of personal data.
If you have questions about this text or your personal information in general, or if you have complaints and/or objections regarding the processing of your personal information, you can contact us at info@fdpartners.av.tr.
