Legal Basis for Processing

Under data protection laws like GDPR, we rely on different legal bases to process your personal information, depending on the specific purpose:

Performance of a Contract: Processing is necessary for us to provide the services you have requested or to enter into a contract with you (e.g., processing an order, responding to a service request).
Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms (e.g., improving our services, detecting fraud, direct marketing where permitted by law).
Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation (e.g., tax laws, regulatory requirements).
Consent: In certain situations, we may rely on your explicit consent to process specific types of personal data (e.g., sending you certain marketing communications). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Sharing Your Information

We may share your information with third parties in the following situations:

Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors and service providers who perform services for us or on our behalf, including payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing assistance.
Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information when required to do so by law, court order, or other governmental or regulatory authority, or when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Anadolu Machinery and Trade Inc., our customers, or others.
With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your prior consent.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, or for as long as we are required to do so by law. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the security of your personal information.
