Digital product passport pages opened via QR code do not ask visitors for any personal data. Only the technical logs described above are created on these pages.
For data that customer companies enter into the platform in the course of their own business (such as supplier contacts and product and production records), the relevant customer company is the data controller. Ahi Evrak processes such data as a data processor on the customer company's instructions.
3. Method of collection
Personal data is collected electronically and by automated means through the website forms, platform accounts, email correspondence and the security infrastructure.
4. Transfers of personal data
Personal data is not sold, rented or shared with third parties for advertising. The following service providers are used as data processors to deliver the service.
| Service provider | Service | Data location |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database and authentication | European Union (Frankfurt, Germany) |
| Cloudflare | Hosting, content delivery, security checks and email routing | Global server network |
| Resend | Email delivery | European Union (Ireland) sending region |
| Receiving email sent to ahievrak.com addresses | Global server network |
As the servers of these providers are located outside Türkiye, your personal data is transferred abroad. Such transfers are carried out in accordance with the rules set out in Article 9 of the KVKK.
Personal data may also be disclosed to competent public authorities where required by law and upon request.
5. Cookies and browser storage
