This policy covers perseusdefend.com in English and Turkish: visiting the site, the contact and demo request forms, the chat assistant and the e-mails you send us. It is also our information notice under Article 10 of the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and Articles 13 and 14 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

It doesn't cover the Perseus Defend platform that customers use under their agreement with us, or other websites we link to, such as our social media pages, which have their own privacy policies.

We collect personal data electronically, through this website and by e-mail: what you type into the forms and the chat assistant, what you send us by e-mail, and technical data gathered automatically by cookies, similar browser storage and our server. You don't have to tell us who you are to browse the site.

1. 02.1Contact form

   What

   Topic, first and last name, e-mail address, company (optional) and your message, for example a question or a report about a fake website or account.

   Why

   To answer your message and, when you report a fake site or account, to look into it.

   Legal basis

   Legitimate interest in answering enquiries; steps before a contract when you ask about our services.KVKK Art. 5(2)(f), (c) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(f), (b)

2. 02.2Demo request form

   What

   Name, e-mail address, phone number and the topic you choose; optionally the domain you want to protect, your industry, a budget range and any details or notes you add.

   Why

   To arrange and prepare your demo, contact you about it and discuss a possible agreement.

   Legal basis

   Steps before a contract, at your request; legitimate interest in following up business enquiries.KVKK Art. 5(2)(c), (f) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(b), (f)

3. 02.3Chat assistant

   What

   The messages you type, the earlier messages in the same conversation and the assistant's replies. Anything you write, including personal data, becomes part of the conversation.

   Why

   To answer your questions about Perseus Defend. To write each reply, your message and the conversation so far are sent to Google's Gemini API. Conversations are saved in your browser, not on our servers (section 07).

   Legal basis

   Legitimate interest in answering visitors' questions.KVKK Art. 5(2)(f) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)

4. 02.4Demo requests in the chat

   What

   If you ask the assistant for a demo, it asks for your name, phone number, e-mail address and topic, and optionally your industry and budget.

   Why

   When the details are complete, the assistant sends them to our team by e-mail, in the same way as the demo request form.

   Legal basis

   Same as the demo request form.KVKK Art. 5(2)(c), (f) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(b), (f)

5. 02.5E-mails you send us

6. 02.6Analytics, only with your consent

   What

   Pages you visit and their addresses, how you reached the site, time spent, approximate location derived from your IP address, device, browser and language settings, a random identifier stored in a cookie, and events such as button clicks, blog articles opened and messages sent to the chat assistant (only that a message was sent and its rough length, never its text).

   Why

   To understand how the site is used and improve it. Google Analytics loads only after you click Accept in the cookie banner.

   Legal basis

   Your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.KVKK Art. 5(1) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)

7. 02.7Technical and security data

   What

   IP address, time of the request, the page requested, browser details (user agent) and your saved language choice (section 07).

   Why

   To open the site in the language you chose, protect the site and its forms from abuse, and fix errors. Our server briefly keeps IP addresses in memory to limit how many requests one address can send; when an address goes over the limit, the address and the page it asked for are written to the server log. Our hosting provider may also keep standard access logs.

   Legal basis

   Legitimate interest in running a secure, working website.KVKK Art. 5(2)(f) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)

Please don't share sensitive information with the chat assistant, such as health data, ID numbers or passwords.

No automated decisions. We don't make decisions about you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that have legal or similarly significant effects. The chat assistant uses AI to answer questions; it doesn't decide anything about you.

We process personal data only when the law gives us a basis to do so. Section 02 shows which basis applies to each activity. The bases are:

Steps before a contractKVKK Art. 5(2)(c) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)

Processing needed for steps you ask us to take before a possible contract, such as arranging a demo.

Legitimate interestsKVKK Art. 5(2)(f) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)

Answering enquiries, keeping the website secure and working, and remembering the settings you choose. We rely on this only where it doesn't harm your fundamental rights and freedoms, and you can object to it.

Explicit consentKVKK Art. 5(1) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)

Analytics cookies. You give it by clicking Accept in the cookie banner and can withdraw it at any time with the Cookie settings button in section 07. Withdrawing doesn't affect processing that took place before.

Legal obligationsKVKK Art. 5(2)(ç) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)

When the law requires us to keep or disclose information.

Legal claimsKVKK Art. 5(2)(e) · GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)

When we need data to establish, exercise or defend a legal right.

Ticking the box on the demo request form confirms that you have read this policy.

We don't sell your personal data and don't share it for advertising. We share it only with:

Our team

The people at Perseus Defend who need it to answer you, prepare a demo or look into a report.

Google Workspace

Our business e-mail. Form submissions, demo requests made in the chat and your e-mails to us are delivered and stored there.

Google Gemini API

Writes the chat assistant's replies. It receives the messages you send in the chat and the conversation so far.

Google Analytics

Only if you accept analytics cookies. It receives the usage data listed in section 02.

Hosting provider

Runs the servers that deliver this website and its forms, and may keep technical logs.

Authorities and advisers

Courts, public authorities and our legal advisers, only when the law requires it or when needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Google processes this data under its own terms and privacy policy (opens in a new tab).

Perseus Defend is based in the United Arab Emirates, and the providers above may process data in other countries, including the United States. So wherever you use this website from, your personal data may be processed outside your country.

We transfer personal data abroad only under the conditions of Article 9 of KVKK and Chapter V of the GDPR: an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, or, in the cases the law allows, your explicit consent. You can ask us which safeguard applies to a transfer.

We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purpose we collected it for, or as long as the law requires. After that we delete, destroy or anonymise it.

Enquiries and demo requests

Form submissions, demo requests made in the chat and e-mails: as long as we need them to answer you and follow up. If you become a customer, what we need moves to your customer records; otherwise we delete them once they're no longer needed. You can ask us to delete them sooner.

Chat conversations

Only in your browser, until you delete them from the assistant's chat history or clear this site's data. We don't store them on our servers.

Request-limit memory

In server memory only, for a short time. Old entries are cleared out as the site runs, and all of them when the server restarts.

Server logs

For the limited time needed for security and troubleshooting, then deleted.

Analytics data

Google Analytics keeps user-level data for the retention period set in our account, 14 months at most.

Cookies and browser storage

See the table in section 07.

Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser; local storage and session storage are similar browser features. We use them as listed below. Necessary items only remember your settings and choices, so they don't need consent; functional items support features such as the chat assistant and site search; analytics cookies are set only with your consent.

  Analytics · with consent

To change your choice, use Cookie settings below. If you decline, Google Analytics stops at once and its cookies are removed from this site. You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings; the cookie banner will then appear again.

Depending on the law that applies to you (KVKK Article 11, GDPR Articles 15 to 22), you can ask us to:

• tell you whether we process your personal data and, if we do, give you information about it and a copy;
• tell you why we process it and whether it is used for that purpose;
• tell you who we have shared it with, in your country or abroad;
• correct it if it is incomplete or wrong;
• delete or destroy it when the reasons for processing it no longer apply;
• tell the third parties we shared it with about a correction or deletion;
• restrict its use while a question about its accuracy or our use of it is being resolved;
• stop processing it on the basis of our legitimate interests (objection);
• give you the data you provided in a structured, machine-readable format (portability).

You can also object to a result against you that comes from analysing your data solely by automated systems, withdraw your consent at any time, and claim compensation if unlawful processing causes you damage.

How to apply. Write to [email protected] or send a letter to our address in section 01. Tell us your name and surname, how we can reach you and what you are asking for. For requests under KVKK, the Communiqué on applications to data controllers also asks for your national ID number (foreign nationals: nationality and passport number) and an address for correspondence. If you write by e-mail, please use the address you gave us before, for example in a form, or sign your e-mail with a secure electronic or mobile signature, so we can match your request; we may ask you to confirm your identity. We answer free of charge as soon as possible and within 30 days at the latest.

Complaints. Under KVKK, if we reject your request, you find our answer insufficient or we don't answer in time, you can complain to the Personal Data Protection Board (KVKK Board) within 30 days of learning our answer, and in any case within 60 days of your request. In the European Economic Area you can complain to the data protection authority where you live or work, or where you think the infringement happened (section 12).

This website is meant for businesses and professionals, not for children. We don't knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

We protect personal data with technical and organisational measures suited to the risk, including:

• encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the whole site;
• security headers that limit what our pages may load and stop other sites from embedding them;
• request limits that slow down automated abuse of the site and its forms;
• server-side checks on everything sent through the forms;
• no form database on the website: submissions go straight to our mailbox;
• access to our mailboxes only for the people who need it.

No system is completely secure. If a personal data breach affects you, we will act quickly and notify you and the authorities as the law requires.

We update this policy when our website, our service providers or the law change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. If a change significantly affects how we use your personal data, we will make that clear on the website.
