I do not sell your personal data to third parties.
As serhatoypan.com is visited by an international audience, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your country of residence, including Turkey, where I am based, and other countries where my service providers operate. Where such transfers occur, I take reasonable steps to ensure your data continues to be protected in accordance with this Notice and applicable law, including, where relevant, by relying on service providers that offer appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms).
I retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
