Although the legal bases for the processing of the personal data by our Company differ, the action is taken in compliance with the general principles set forth in the article 4 of the Law no 6698 in all kinds of personal data processing activities. Accordingly; in all kinds of data processing activities, the following general principles are taken into account:
Compliance with the law and the honesty rules,
Being accurate and current when necessary,
Being processed for certain, express and legitimate purposes,
Being related to, limited to and proportional to the processing purpose,
Being kept for the period stipulated in the relevant legislation or for the period required for the processing purpose.
2.Reasons for the Compliance with the Law
Personal Data Owner’s giving his Explicit Consent
One of the processing requirements of the personal data is the explicit consent of the data owner. The explicit consent of the personal data owner should be clarified with respect to a specific subject, based on notification and with free will.
Expressly Stipulated in the Laws
The personal data of the data owner can be processed in compliance with the law if expressly stipulated in the laws.
For instance, the notification of the identities of our employees to the competent authorities pursuant to the Identity Notification Legislation.
Inability to obtain the Explicit Consent of the Relevant Person due to Physical Impossibility
The personal data of the data owner can be processed if the processing of the personal data is compulsory for protecting the life or physical body integrity of the person who cannot disclose his consent due to the physical impossibility or whose consent is not accepted as valid and applicable or any other person. For instance, sharing the blood type information of the employee who felt faint with the physician.
Direct Relation with the Establishment or Performance of the Contract
It is possible to process the personal data if the processing of the personal data of the parties to the contract is necessary, provided that it is directly related to the establishment or performance of a contract. For instance, receiving a CV from the candidate for the establishment of the employment contract, obtaining an address for notification under the contract.
Fulfillment of the Legal Obligation by the Company
The personal data of the data owner can be processed if the processing is compulsory for the fulfillment of its legal obligations by our Company as the data controller. For instance, processing the family information in order to have the Employee take advantage from the Minimum Living Allowance.
Publicization of the Personal Data by the Personal Data Owner
If the data owner has publicized his personal data by himself, the relevant personal data can be processed. For instance, if the customers of our Company submit their complaints, requests or suggestions in a platform open to the public on the internet, these customers are deemed to have publicized their relevant information. In this case, it is possible for the data to be processed by the authorized person of our Company, provided that it will be limited to the purpose of answering the complaints, requests or suggestions.
Compulsory Data Processing for the Establishment or Protection of any right
If the data processing is compulsory for the establishment, use or protection of any right, the personal data of the data owner can be processed. For instance, keeping the data which has the characteristic of an evidence (sales contract, invoice) and using it at the time when it is necessary.
Compulsory Data Processing for the Legitimate Interest of our Company
If the data processing is compulsory for the legitimate interests of our Company, provided that it will not cause damage to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the personal data owner, the personal data of the data owner can be processed. For instance, monitoring the critical points of the Company against theft or for occupational safety purpose with security camera.
3.Processing of the Special Quality Personal Data and Reasons for the Compliance with the Law
The special quality personal data can be processed by our Company only in the cases stipulated in the laws, provided that the sufficient measures to be determined by the PDPL Board will be taken if the personal data owner does not give his explicit consent. The special quality personal data regarding the health and sexual life of the personal data owner, however, can be processed by the persons or authorized institutions and organizations under the confidentiality obligations only for the purpose of protecting the public health, executing the preventive medicine, medical diagnosis, treatment and care services and planning and managing the health services and their finance. Regardless of which reason it is based on, the general data processing principles are always taken into account and the compliance with these principles is ensured in the processing courses (PDPL a. 4; see above 2nd Section, I,1).
II.PURPOSES FOR THE PROCESSING OF THE PERSONAL DATA
Our Company processes personal data as limited to the purposes and conditions included in the personal data processing requirements specified in the second paragraph of the article 5 and the third paragraph of the article 6 of the Personal Data Protection Law no 6698. Within the course of data processing, the aforementioned legal bases are taken into account and, if the other reasons for the compliance with the law are not available, the consent of the relevant person is requested. In this case, the general principles are inspected within the scope of the article 4 and principally it is required from the data processing activity to comply with the principles for the compliance with the law in general. The consent of the relevant person, however, is obtained “explicitly, based on notification and with free will”. The purposes for the processing of the personal data are specified also in “the Personal Data Inventory” of our Company.
The personal data is processed especially for the following purposes in the departments of our Company;
For the fulfillment of the mutual obligations arising from the employment contract as the employer, the personal data of the employees should be processed. The personal data of the employees is processed and kept in compliance with the law and the honesty rules, accurately and currently when necessary, in line with the certain, express and legitimate purposes, as related to, limited to and proportional to the purpose. Within this scope, the explicit consent which will be requested from the employees in the cases where the data processing is compulsory for the execution of the processes of establishing, performing and terminating the employment contract in compliance with the law, the legitimate interests of the Company, provided that it will not be in contrary to the fundamental rights and freedomws, the cases expressly stipulated in the law, the fulfillment of the legal obligations related to the employment of the employees, the establishment, use and protection of the right in the cases of legal proceedings, which is based on notification and which the employees will disclose with their own free will in line with the purposes necessary for the employment of the employees in compliance with the laws constitute the legal bases for the processing of the personal data.
Within the scope of the activities required by the field of business of the Company, the legitimate interests of the employer require the processing of the personal data of the employees. The activity of processing the personal data of the employees can be performed due to the reasons such as preventing the misconducts, preventing the theft, ensuring the general security or the occupational health and safety. However, in this case, a great care is shown not to cause damage to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the employees.
The majority of the personal data of the employees which is being processed is derived from the information given to the Company by the employees. Also, in certain cases, the personal data of the employees can be obtained by the Company from the internal resources such as the Company executives or the references of the employees or the data in the systems installed by the public institutions and organizations due to the requirements of the working life.
The personal data of the employees which is being processed is composed of the application forms and references of the employees, the employment contracts and amendments thereof, the contact details of the employees, the information necessary for the payroll, the information regarding the family or relatives such as the persons to be contacted in case of emergencies, the information such as the training records, performance evaluation records, disciplinary records and camera records of the employees.
In relation to the processing of the personal data of the employees, there are rules in many Company policies and procedures. On this matter, especially “the Personal Data Protection and Processing Policy” which is available at the website of the Company can be reviewed. Also, the mentioned document can be accessed from the intranet/QDMS system of the Company and it can be obtained from the Human Resources Department also in paper/hardcopy environment.
The health information of the employees is included among the personal data processed. As a rule, the information regarding the health and sexual life of the employees is processed by the persons or authorized institutions of organizations under the confidentiality obligations for the purpose of protecting the public health, executing the preventive medicine, medical diagnosis, treatment and care services and planning and managing the health services and their finance. Within this scope, the health data of the employees and the relevant details are kept by the workplace doctor and the health department as a rule.
In the event that the employee is a member of the union after being promoted to the “Employee” status (it is not requested in the employee candidate category), the union membership can also be processed in accordance with the express provisions of the law for the fulfillment of the requirements of the legal legislation. Apart from this, the data of the employees in relation to race, ethnic origin, political thought, philosophical belief, religion, communion or other believes, appearance and the biometric and genetic data of the employees are not included among the personal data processed unless expressly stipulated in the law, as a rule, and if an exceptional application will be made, the requirements are carefully evaluated before processing the personal data.
The Company makes inspection and observations on the information communication means (telephone, mobile telephones, computers and internet). The Law no 5651 and the legitimate interests of our Company constitute the legal bases of the mentioned applications.
The vehicle tracking system can be applied for the reasons of “security, management of the vehicles and the personnel in a more effective manner” in the vehicles of our Company. The mentioned activity is also based on the legitimate interests of our Company and performed, provided that it will not cause damage to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the employees.
In line with the purpose of ensuring that the human resources policies of our Company are executed, the provision of the personnel suitable for the vacant positions in compliance with the human resources policies of our Company, the execution of the human resources operations in compliance with the human resources policies of our Company, the selection of the employee candidates, the management of the personal affairs, the determination of the training and carrier plans, the fulfillment of the obligations within the framework of the occupational health and safety and taking the necessary measures constitute the purposes for the processing of the personal data.
Also the personal data of the supplier / sub-employer personnel can be processed by our Corporation. In the Law no 6331, the documents and information required to be controlled in relation to the employees who come from another workplace to the principal employer in relation to the occupational health and safety are specified. Likewise, in the Labor Law no 4857 and the Social Insurances and General Health Insurance Law no 5510, obligations are imposed to the principal employer in relation to the sub-employer workers and the temporary workers and, within this scope, the issues required to be controlled are specified.
