This notice explains how your personal data are processed. Separate choices are offered for activities requiring explicit consent. Reading this notice or registering for a course or event does not by itself constitute consent to newsletters or promotional use of images.

2. Data, purposes and legal grounds

Name, telephone number, email address, address, participant and invoicing information are processed to handle applications, form and perform the agreement, communicate with participants, track payments and refunds, and issue invoices and accounting records. The relevant processing activities rely on Article 5(2)(c) of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (formation or performance of a contract), Article 5(2)(ç) (legal obligation) and, where necessary, Article 5(2)(e) (establishment, exercise or protection of a right).

For AMPP CIP certification or membership procedures, if the participant does not yet have an ampp.org account, the participant’s name, telephone number, address, email address and date of birth are used and sent to AMPP. If the participant already has an ampp.org account and registers at the AMPP member price, only the AMPP ID number is sent for this purpose. Conference registration is not, by itself, an AMPP certification application.

Coatek Academy requests separate consent before sending its email newsletter with course, event and industry announcements. Newsletter consent is not a condition of buying a course or ticket. Consent to marketing emails may be withdrawn through the unsubscribe link in a message or by contacting akademi@coatek.com.tr.

Photographs and videos in which participants can be identified may be taken during courses. Their promotional publication in Coatek Academy’s email newsletters, website, LinkedIn account or Instagram account requires separate, optional explicit consent from the participant for each channel. A participant who does not consent may attend the course on the same terms. While consent remains valid, published content may remain on the relevant channel; expiry of Coatek’s internal retention period does not automatically remove a social-media post. If the participant withdraws consent, Coatek removes the relevant images from publications it controls and makes no new publication for that purpose. Copies or reposts made by others may be outside Coatek’s control.

3. Collection and recipients

Data are collected electronically or physically through website forms, orders and payments, email/telephone communication, and in-person courses or events. Relevant data may be received by systeme.io for registration and email infrastructure; the bank or payment service provider used for the transaction (Garanti BBVA when its payment infrastructure is activated) for payments and refunds; AMPP for CIP certification; and authorized public bodies where required by law. Only information needed for each purpose is shared with the relevant recipient.

According to systeme.io’s published privacy policy, the platform hosts data on AWS servers in Ireland. The CIP data specified above are transferred abroad to AMPP. Images published on LinkedIn or Instagram may be publicly accessible and processed abroad by the platform providers. The website also contains LinkedIn tracking technology, which may transmit browser and device information to LinkedIn. Questions about cookies and tracking may be sent to akademi@coatek.com.tr. International transfer processes are separately assessed under Article 9 of Law No. 6698.

4. Retention

Course photograph and video files held by Coatek are kept for no longer than five years. If a valid withdrawal of consent or erasure request ends the legal basis sooner, the relevant data are erased, destroyed or anonymized earlier as required by law. Where a legal retention obligation applies, only records needed for that obligation are retained for the applicable period. Other personal data are kept until the processing purpose and applicable legal retention obligations end. Newsletter data are used for that purpose until consent is withdrawn or no other legal ground for retention remains.

5. Rights and requests

Under Article 11 of Law No. 6698, you may ask whether your data are processed, request information about processing, learn its purpose and whether it is used accordingly, learn domestic and international recipients, request correction of inaccurate/incomplete data or erasure/destruction where the conditions are met, request notification of those actions to recipients, and exercise your other statutory rights. You may send a request in a form that permits identity verification to akademi@coatek.com.tr, to the registered electronic mail address coatekmuhendislik@hs01.kep.tr, or to the postal address above. Requests are resolved under the applicable procedure within no more than 30 days.
