Last updated: 14 October 2026

TRC MARİNE ELEKTRONİK SAN. TİC. LTD. ŞTİ. (“TRC Marine”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains the processing of personal data in connection with www.trcmarine.com, our website contact form and related business enquiries.

TRC Marine is the data controller for the activities described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect :

When you submit our contact form or communicate with us, we receive the contact information and message content you choose to provide. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, company information and details of your enquiry.

Our website uses Wix, Google Analytics and Google Ads. Depending on the features enabled and applicable consent preferences, these services may process technical and usage information, such as browser and device details, online identifiers, pages visited, website interactions and advertising activity.

Information is collected electronically through website forms, correspondence, cookies and similar technologies. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in general enquiries.

2. Purposes and Legal Bases:

Personal data is processed for the following purposes:

Responding to enquiries: To review requests and communicate with you, based on our legitimate interest in managing business enquiries, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms are not adversely affected.
Contract-related requests: Where your enquiry concerns entering into or performing a contract to which you are a party, to take the necessary steps relating to that contract.
Website operation: To provide website functionality and support its operation and security, based on the applicable statutory grounds, including legitimate interests where the relevant conditions are met.
Analytics and advertising: To understand website usage and measure advertising performance. Processing requiring explicit consent must be based on that consent.
Legal matters: To fulfil legal obligations and, where necessary, establish, exercise or protect legal rights.

These grounds are subject to the conditions set out in Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (“KVKK”).

3. Wix and Google Services :

Wix:

Our website operates on the Wix platform. Wix processes information in connection with website hosting, platform functionality and the services enabled on our website.

For further information, visit the Wix Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics:

We use Google Analytics to understand visitor interactions and evaluate website performance. The information processed depends on the analytics configuration and applicable consent preferences.

Google Ads:

We use Google Ads for advertising activities and performance measurement. The information processed depends on the advertising features enabled and applicable consent preferences.

For further information, visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies:

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, visitor analytics and advertising.

Essential technologies support website operation. Optional analytics and advertising technologies are subject to applicable consent requirements. Visiting our website or reading this policy does not, by itself, constitute consent to optional tracking.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality. Google also provides advertising preference controls through My Ad Center.

Browser controls and Google advertising preferences do not replace any consent mechanism required on our website. For questions about cookies or withdrawing consent, contact info@trcmarine.com.

5. Disclosure and International Processing :

Information is processed by Wix and Google in connection with the services described above. Information submitted through our contact channels may also be handled by the service providers supporting those channels. Personal data may be disclosed to competent authorities where legally required.

These service providers operate internationally, and their services may involve processing outside Türkiye. International transfers are subject to the separate requirements of Article 9 of the KVKK. This Privacy Policy does not constitute consent to an international transfer or replace a legally required transfer mechanism.

You may contact us to request information about the recipients of your personal data and applicable transfer arrangements.

6. Retention :

Retention is determined by the purpose of processing, the nature of the information and applicable legal requirements.

Enquiry records are retained for the time needed to respond and manage related correspondence. If an enquiry leads to a business transaction, relevant records may need to be retained for contractual, accounting or other legal purposes. Records required for a legal claim may need to be retained for the applicable claim period.

Analytics and advertising retention depends on the relevant service settings and provider retention rules. Consent records, where collected, are retained for the period necessary to demonstrate and manage consent.

Personal data should be deleted, destroyed or anonymised when the grounds requiring its retention no longer apply.

7. Your Rights:

Under Article 11 of the KVKK, you have the right to:

Learn whether your personal data is processed and request information about that processing.
Learn the purposes of processing and whether your data is used consistently with those purposes.
Know the third parties to whom your data is transferred in Türkiye or abroad.
Request correction of incomplete or inaccurate personal data.
Request deletion or destruction where the statutory conditions are met.
Request that relevant third parties be notified of correction, deletion or destruction.
Object to an adverse result arising from analysis of your data exclusively through automated systems.
Seek compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Requests may be submitted to our postal address using the procedures permitted under applicable law. You may contact info@trcmarine.com for privacy enquiries and guidance on submitting a request. Identity verification may be necessary before a request can be fulfilled.

Your statutory rights to lodge a complaint remain unaffected.

8. Changes to This Policy :

We may update this policy to reflect changes to our website, processing activities or legal requirements. The latest version will be published on this page with its revision date. Changes to this policy do not replace any obligation to obtain consent where required.
