Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect personal data on this website.

Effective date: 18 June 2026

Who we are

The Data Protection Officers ("we", "us", or "our") provides data protection officer appointments and compliance services across Turkey (KVKK), the European Union (GDPR), the United Kingdom (UK GDPR), and Switzerland (nFADP).

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data when you visit thedataprotectionofficers.com, contact us, or use our online order flow.

For privacy enquiries, email hi@thedataprotectionofficers.com.

Data we collect

Depending on how you interact with the site, we may process:

  • Contact details you submit (name, work email, company name, jurisdiction of interest, and message content) when you book a discovery call or request information.
  • Order-related selections (jurisdiction, package, add-ons, and company location) when you configure a package on our order page.
  • Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited.
  • Cookie and analytics preferences you save through our cookie banner.

How we use your data

We use personal data to respond to enquiries, prepare proposals, process order requests, operate and secure the website, understand how visitors use our pages, and meet legal or regulatory obligations.

We do not sell your personal data.

Legal bases (where GDPR or UK GDPR applies)

Where EU or UK GDPR applies to our processing, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Consent — for non-essential cookies and analytics where required.
  • Contract — to take steps at your request before entering a service agreement.
  • Legitimate interests — to operate, improve, and protect our website and business, balanced against your rights.
  • Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose information to comply with law.

Cookies and analytics

Essential cookies are required for basic site functionality. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load with analytics storage enabled on a first visit so we can count visits, understand how the website is used, and review complete Clarity session recordings.

You can reject analytics or disable it in the cookie preferences. When analytics is disabled, both providers receive a denied analytics-storage signal and Clarity switches to limited cookieless measurement.

You can change your preferences at any time by clearing the cookie-consent value in your browser storage and reloading the page, or by using the Customize option when the banner appears.

Our Google Analytics measurement ID is G-GLJP238PNJ. Advertising storage remains tied to your marketing preference and is disabled by default.

Sharing and processors

We may share personal data with trusted service providers who help us host the website, deliver email, process payments when you complete a purchase, or provide analytics — only as needed and under appropriate safeguards.

We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, or court order.

International transfers

Our team and service providers may process data in the United Kingdom, European Union, Turkey, Switzerland, and other countries. Where personal data is transferred outside your jurisdiction, we apply appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent measures where required.

Retention

We keep enquiry and order information for as long as needed to respond, provide services, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider settings and internal retention schedules.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

To exercise your rights, contact hi@thedataprotectionofficers.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Security

We apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the data we process. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

Our services and website are directed at businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page with an updated effective date.
