Yurudesign, operated by Yurudizayn İnternet Hizmetleri San. ve Tic. Ltd. Şti., respects the privacy of the businesses and individuals who use our B2B export platform.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, how long we keep it, and what rights may be available to you depending on your location.

The platform is intended for business users, trade buyers, retailers, importers, distributors and other professional users. It may be accessed from different countries. We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698, the GDPR where applicable, and other relevant local privacy laws where they apply.

2. Information We Collect

Access request information

When you request buyer access, we may collect:

We use this information to review your access request, verify your business identity, assess whether the platform is suitable for your company, and communicate with you about your request.

Account and platform activity

Once your access is approved, we may process:

We use this information to provide the platform service, manage your buyer account, prepare offers, support Proforma Invoice requests, and maintain our business relationship with you.

Internal buyer analysis and AI-supported scoring

We may analyse access request information and approved buyer account activity for internal business purposes.

This analysis may include company information, country information, company website details, selected products, catalogue views, offer list actions, Proforma Invoice requests, internal team notes and previous business communication history.

This analysis may be supported by internal AI tools or, in the future, trusted AI or analytics service providers.

AI-supported scoring is advisory only. It does not replace human review and is not used as the sole basis for access approval, rejection, pricing, offer terms or other commercial decisions.

Final business decisions are reviewed by authorised Yurudesign team members.

We do not create buyer interest profiles for general public visitors who only browse the public parts of the website.

Technical and log data

When you use the platform, we may process standard technical data such as:

We use this data for authentication, security monitoring, fraud prevention, technical support, performance control and platform protection.

For general public visitors, page visit logs are used only for security, diagnostics and performance purposes. They are not used to create buyer interest profiles.

Communications

If you contact us by email, WhatsApp or through the platform, we may keep your correspondence in order to respond to your enquiry and maintain a record of our business relationship.

3. How We Collect Data

We collect personal data in the following ways:

If you communicate with us through WhatsApp, your use of WhatsApp may also be subject to WhatsApp's own terms and privacy practices.

4. Purposes and Legal Basis

We process personal data only where we have a valid reason to do so.

Depending on your location, the applicable legal basis may include performance of a contract, steps taken before entering into a contract, legitimate business interest, legal obligation, or your consent where consent is specifically required by law.

5. Cookies

The platform currently uses only necessary cookies.

These cookies are required for login, authentication, session security and saving your cookie preference. We do not use analytics cookies, marketing cookies, advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

The cookies we use are:

Our internal buyer interest analysis is based on access request data and approved buyer account activity. It is not based on public visitor tracking cookies.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you block necessary cookies, core platform features such as login, catalogue access and offer generation may not work properly.

6. Service Providers

We use a limited number of trusted service providers to operate the platform. These providers may process personal data only on our behalf and only for the purpose of delivering the service.

Our current service providers may include:

In the future, we may also use trusted AI or analytics service providers to support internal buyer analysis, service improvement and commercial prioritisation.

Where external AI or analytics providers are used, they will process data only on our behalf and only for platform analytics, service improvement and internal business evaluation purposes. We do not allow such providers to sell, reuse or independently exploit personal data.

Where reasonably possible, we aim to minimise, limit or anonymise the data shared with external AI or analytics providers.

If we start using an external AI or analytics provider in a way that materially changes how we process personal data, we will update this Privacy Policy before such use where required by applicable law.

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information to third parties.

7. International Data Transfers

Because the platform may be accessed globally and because some of our service providers operate internationally, your personal data may be processed in countries other than your country of residence.

Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international data transfers. These may include contractual safeguards, service provider commitments, technical security measures and other lawful transfer mechanisms available under applicable privacy laws.

8. Payments

The platform does not collect or store payment card information.

All payments are handled offline through bank transfer or other direct commercial payment methods agreed between the parties. No credit card, debit card or online payment processor data is collected through this platform.

9. Information Sharing

We may share personal data only in limited cases.

We do not sell personal data.

10. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.

When data is no longer needed, we delete it, anonymise it or securely retain it only where legally required.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

These measures may include restricted access, authentication controls, secure infrastructure providers, internal access limits and periodic reviews of our data handling practices.

No internet-based service can guarantee complete security. However, we work to maintain appropriate safeguards and respond to identified risks promptly.

12. Your Rights

Depending on your country or region, you may have rights regarding your personal data. These may include the right to:

If you are located in Türkiye, you may have rights under Article 11 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with applicable privacy laws, you may also have additional rights under those laws.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.

13. Accuracy of Information

We aim to keep personal data accurate and up to date. If you believe that the information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or outdated, please contact us and we will review and correct it where appropriate.

14. Children

The platform is intended only for business and professional users. It is not intended for children or minors. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our platform, business practices, service providers or applicable laws.
