KVKK Notice (Turkish Data Protection Law)

Last updated: October 2026

Turkish Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (“KVKK”) requires a specific disclosure for users in Türkiye. The authoritative Turkish-language text is on this same page in Turkish; this is an English summary for your convenience.

Data controller

Tanti, which operates Safelyo, is the data controller for the personal data described below.

Categories of personal data processed

  • Identity and contact data: name and email from Google/Apple sign-in.
  • Location data: used to evaluate your rules and, during an actual alarm, shared as a snapshot.
  • Circle data: the names and relationship labels of people you invite or who invite you.
  • Security data: a push-notification device token.
  • Subscription status: trial / Premium / free. Payment card details are never processed by us — Apple/Google handle them directly.

Purposes of processing

  • Evaluating the time/place rules you create and sending the related notifications.
  • Matching public earthquake data against your last known location for the earthquake check-in.
  • Account creation, authentication, and keeping your account in sync across devices.
  • Responding to support requests.

Legal basis

Processing relies on the legal bases in KVKK Article 5: necessity for the performance of a contract (our Terms of Service), compliance with a legal obligation, and our legitimate interest where it doesn't harm your fundamental rights. Sensitive data such as precise location is processed based on your explicit consent, given through the in-app permission screens.

Who data may be transferred to

Only to the extent necessary to run the service: our database/hosting infrastructure provider, Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) for push delivery, and Google/Apple for sign-in. Your location is shared with a third party only with your chosen guardian(s), and only during an actual alarm. We never sell personal data.

Collection method

Personal data is collected electronically through the Safelyo mobile app: information you provide at sign-in, device permissions you grant (location, notifications), and your in-app actions.

Your rights under KVKK Article 11

By contacting the data controller, you may:

  • Learn whether your personal data is being processed.
  • Request information about it if it is.
  • Learn the purpose of processing and whether it's used accordingly.
  • Know any third parties data is transferred to, domestically or abroad.
  • Request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data.
  • Request deletion or destruction, within the conditions of KVKK Article 7.
  • Request that corrections or deletions be notified to any third parties data was shared with.
  • Object to a result that is solely based on automated analysis and is to your detriment.
  • Claim compensation if you're harmed by unlawful processing.
