PRIVACY AND SECURITY POLICY
All services provided in our store belong to and are
operated by BEZMIALEM VAKIF UNIVERSITY ECONOMIC ENTERPRISE, registered at
Topkapı Mh. Adnan Menderes Boulevard, Bezmialem Vakıf University No:113 P.O.
Box 34093 Fatih/ISTANBUL.
Our company may collect personal data for various purposes.
Below, it is detailed how personal data is collected, protected, and used.
By filling out membership forms or various surveys on our
store, members voluntarily provide personal information (such as full name,
company details, phone number, address, or email addresses) necessary for the
nature of our business.
Our company may occasionally send campaign information, new
product announcements, and promotional offers to our customers and members.
Members can choose whether to receive such communications during registration,
and later update their preferences via their account settings or by using the
unsubscribe link provided in the communication.
Personal data submitted electronically by members during the
approval process through our store will not be disclosed to third parties
outside the scope and purpose defined by the "User Agreement" made
with members.
To identify system-related issues and quickly resolve
service-related problems or disputes, our company records and uses the IP
addresses of our members. IP addresses may also be used to generally identify
users and collect demographic information.
Beyond the purposes defined in the Membership Agreement, our
company may use requested information directly or through partners for direct
marketing purposes. Personal information may also be used to contact users when
necessary. Information requested by our company, provided by users, or related
to transactions via our store may be used anonymously for statistical
evaluations, database creation, and market research beyond the scope defined in
the Membership Agreement.
Our company is committed to strictly keeping confidential
information private, treating it as a trade secret, taking all necessary
precautions to ensure confidentiality, and preventing unauthorized disclosure
or use by third parties.
CREDIT CARD SECURITY
Our company prioritizes the security of credit card holders
shopping on our website. Your credit card information is never stored in our
system.
To ensure you are on a secure site during transactions, look
for a key or lock icon at the bottom of your browser, indicating a secure
webpage where your data is encrypted. These details are only used according to
your instructions during the sales process. Credit card information used during
purchases is encrypted using 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol and
transmitted directly to the relevant bank for verification. Since we do not
view or store any credit card information, unauthorized third parties cannot
access it under any circumstances.
To prevent credit card fraud, our company verifies the
reliability of payment, billing, and shipping address information for online
orders. For first-time customers, order fulfillment requires verification of
financial and contact details, and we may contact the cardholder or the bank if
necessary.
Only you can access and change the information you provide
during registration. If you keep your login details secure, others cannot
access or modify your information. Membership processes operate within a
128-bit SSL security environment, an internationally recognized encryption
standard.
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TRUST
Online shopping sites with customer service and clear
contact information are preferred more nowadays. This allows you to obtain
detailed information about any questions and verify the reliability of the
service provider.
Note: We recommend checking that online stores
display full contact addresses and phone numbers. Always record the contact
details of the store where you make purchases and verify by phone if in doubt.
All our online stores provide complete company information and location
details.
MAIL ORDER CREDIT CARD INFORMATION SECURITY
Credit card and identification information sent to us via
mail order will be stored according to our confidentiality principles. This
information is retained for 60 days to handle any potential disputes with banks
and is then securely destroyed. Authorized mail order payments will not be
charged beyond the approved amount; otherwise, you can dispute charges with
your bank.
