The updated Privacy Notice now explicitly discloses Google Cloud's data controller role under Turkish law, the legal grounds for processing personal data (compliance with law, rights protection, and legitimate interests), and specific retention periods for operational data (up to 180 days, longer for legal/regulatory purposes). The notice also details user rights under Turkish KVKK law, including rights to access, correct, delete, and request compensation for unlawful processing. Users subject to Turkish data protection law can exercise these rights through Google's Privacy Help Center or via their organization's administrator.

We have rigorous internal control measures in place to strictly limit data access to designated personnel only.
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information from accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use.
We will promptly destroy personal information at the end of the retention period, as described above. When we destroy personal information, we do so in a way that prevents that information from being restored or reconstructed.
