Privacy Policy

Nefes Tekstil respects the privacy of visitors on its nefesistanbul.com website and its associated local websites and takes great care to protect your information. This privacy policy informs you of what information we collect from you, how we may use it, and the steps we take to ensure its protection.

What personal information do we collect?

Nefes may request personal information from you such as name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, etc. in situations such as when you register for contests/promotions, respond to surveys like email, and when requesting services that require registration or subscription, and similar situations. We collect this information only for specific purposes (such as sending e-cards) and will not contact third parties unless required.

We use 'Identification Information' to gather information about your visits to our website and to enhance your experience. More information on how we use identification information can be found in this section.

When you visit our website, we collect data called 'clickstream' (server address, domain name, etc.). This information helps us analyze and customize your visits for better functionality, which may be combined with information you provide (e.g., through registration).

Use of Visitor Information

All personal information obtained about you will be recorded, used, and protected by us in accordance with current data protection laws and our privacy policy. We will primarily use your personal information to provide you with products and services.

For instance, we may send you information about products, offers, and news we believe may interest you via email or SMS. This information may pertain to Nefes products, offers, and news, or those of its licensors or carefully selected commercial partners. We will only send this to you if you prefer to receive Nefes email and/or SMS messages. If you no longer wish to receive any emails and/or SMS messages from us, or wish to change your personal data, or want your personal data deleted from our database, we direct you to the 'Change Preferences, Delete, or Change Personal Information' section below.

This section allows us to analyze visits to the website, understand visitors' general areas of interest, and also comprehend individual interests and needs to develop and offer content, features, and promotions that interest you.

Who manages Visitor Information?

The servers hosting Nefes' existing global and local websites are located in the United States. If you are located outside the US, please note that your information will be transferred to the US, and by providing your information, you consent to this transfer. Nefes has made an agreement with a hosting company in the US to ensure adequate protection of your data. Personal information will be kept in accordance with current data protection laws and this Privacy Policy.

Protection of Visitor Information

We implement various security measures to protect the information you provide when you visit our website. Your personal information is kept behind secure networks and is accessible only by a limited number of people who have special access rights and are required to keep the information confidential.

When you provide your personal information online, remember that there is a risk that third parties may intercept and use this information. While Nefes endeavors to protect users' personal information and privacy online, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online; the risk is yours.

Children's Privacy

Nefes encourages parents to spend time online with their children and participate together in the activities available on the Internet.

When a child attempts to register, the same type of information as described in the 'Information We Collect from Visitors' section above will be requested. Additionally, the information provided by and collected from the child during the visit (e.g., through identification information) may be used as described above.

Nefes is committed to protecting the privacy of children and does not intend to collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13 and attempt to register, your registration will be rejected, and you will be informed that we do not accept registrations from children under the age of 13. We recommend that parents regularly monitor and supervise their children's email and other online activities.

Third Parties

Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

Except for Nefes Group companies and as described below, we do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without prior notice and in compliance with applicable data protection laws. All members of the Nefes Group value privacy and data protection and have similar privacy policies in place. Your data may be transferred to website hosting partners, site design and operation, service providers (e.g., for prize fulfillment), or other parties assisting us with data analysis. These parties will use your data only as instructed and will be required to keep it confidential. We will also disclose personal data if required by law.

Third-Party Links

To enhance your experience and provide convenience, we include links to third parties where this privacy policy does not apply. These links take you outside our services and are beyond our control. This includes links to partners who can use Nefes logos as part of a co-branding agreement. Sites you can link to have their own autonomous privacy policies, and while we endeavor to maintain the integrity of our site, Nefes is not responsible for the content and activities of these sites and cannot be held liable regarding them. You assume all risks from visiting/accessing these sites. These other sites may send their own identification information to users, collect data, or solicit personal information.

Use of Identification Information

Identification information is small pieces of data placed on your computer by the website you visit for identification purposes. It can be used to track activities on the website and help us understand your preferences to enhance your website experience. Identification information may also be used, for example, to remember your username and password.

If you prefer, you can disable all identification information. You can also have your computer warn you whenever identification information is being used. Both options require you to change your browser settings (e.g., in Internet Explorer). Additionally, there are software products available that can manage identification information for you. Note that if you set your computer to reject identification information, the functionality of the website you visit may be limited, and you may not be able to access some features of the website.

Changing Preferences, Deleting, or Changing Personal Information

If you wish to cancel your registration at any time or prefer not to receive emails and/or SMS messages from Nefes, you can do so. You can also choose to have all your personal information deleted from our database.

If you wish to change your preferences, delete, or change your personal information, please visit the registration page. We recommend updating your personal information immediately if it changes.

Privacy Policy Changes

Due to changes in regulations and to keep up with new developments and opportunities on the internet, we may need to change this policy from time to time. Therefore, we reserve the right to make these changes at any time, and since you are subject to these changes when visiting our website, we ask you to regularly check this page.

The privacy policies for local Nefes websites accessible via Nefes.com are similar, but there may be some differences depending on local regulations. Therefore, we recommend that you read the privacy policy of the Nefes site you are visiting.
