Privacy policy

COP31 Türkiye is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes what personal data we may collect, how we use and store it, and the rights you may have in relation to that information when you use this website.

This policy is written to align with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law and international data protection good practice, including transparency and purpose limitation. Specific registration or accreditation services may be governed by additional notices you receive at the point of collection.

1. What data we may process

Depending on your interaction, we may process data you choose to provide (e.g. name, email) and technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, often via cookies and similar technologies as further described in our Cookie policy section.

2. Purposes and legal bases

We process data to run and secure the website, respond to your enquiries, manage accreditation or events where you apply, comply with our legal obligations, and improve our services through aggregated or anonymized analytics. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

3. Retention, sharing, and your rights

We retain data only for as long as needed for the purposes set out in this policy or as required by law. We may use trusted service providers (e.g. hosting) under appropriate contracts. You may have rights to access, rectify, or erase your data, to restrict or object to processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, subject to local law.
