This is a translation for information. The Turkish Aydınlatma Metni is the binding version.
This notice is given under Article 10 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (the "Law") and the Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles for Fulfilling the Obligation to Inform, to people who visit the farmai.salixus.com website, fill in its contact form or e-mail us.

- Tax office / tax no.: İstiklal / 7411760186

2. Which personal data we process
- Contact form: full name, e-mail address, phone number (optional), the content of your message, the time it was sent and the site language you chose.
- E-mail correspondence: your e-mail address, name and the content of the correspondence.
- Security records: a keyed, non-reversible digest (hash) of your IP address and the times of submissions, to stop abuse of the form. The form does not store the IP address itself; these records are only used for the last 24 hours (section 7).
- Server logs: the servers of the hosting provider technically keep access logs on every visit, containing the IP address, date and time, requested page and browser information.
Please do not include special categories of personal data (health, religion, biometrics, etc.) in your message; we have no purpose for processing them.
3. Purposes
- To answer your request and questions and give information and offers about products and installations,
- to carry out pre-contract talks if your request concerns a product or service,
- to keep the contact form from being abused by unwanted and automated submissions and to keep information secure,
- to establish, exercise and protect rights in possible disputes,
- to meet legal obligations and requests from competent authorities.
4. Legal grounds
Your personal data is processed without asking for explicit consent, on the following grounds of Article 5(2) of the Law:
- (c) it is directly related to the formation or performance of a contract (product, service or quote requests),
- (f) the legitimate interest of the data controller, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms are not harmed (answering general questions, form security and server logs),
- (e) the establishment, exercise or protection of a right,
- (ç) compliance with a legal obligation of the data controller.
The tick box in the form confirms that you have read this notice; it is not a declaration of explicit consent.
5. Method of collection
The data is collected directly from you, electronically, through the contact form on this site and by e-mail, partly by automated means (form submission and server logs).
6. Transfers
- Within Türkiye: to public authorities and courts legally entitled to request it, only on request and where there is a legal obligation (Article 8 of the Law).
- Abroad: this site and the e-mail delivery of the contact form run in a data centre of a hosting and e-mail service provider in the European Union (France). The data you send with the form and the server logs are therefore transferred abroad to this provider acting as data processor, solely to host the site and deliver your message to us by e-mail. The transfer relies on the standard contract announced by the Personal Data Protection Board under Article 9(4)(c) of the Law.
Your data is not shared with third parties for marketing and is never sold.
7. Retention
- Contact form messages and e-mail correspondence: contact form messages are not stored on the site's server; they are only delivered to us by e-mail. These e-mails and other correspondence are kept for 2 years after your contact request is closed, and are then deleted or anonymised. If the request leads to a contract, or legislation requires a longer period, that period applies.
- Security records of the form: IP address digests and submission times are kept in a single file on the server; records older than 24 hours are not used for any check and are deleted automatically the next time the form is used.
- Technical error logs: the form writes only the event type (e.g. sent, limit exceeded), the site language and technical error messages to the server's error log; your name, e-mail address, phone number, message or IP address are not written to it.
- Server access logs: kept by the hosting provider for its own retention periods.
8. Your rights under Article 11 of the Law
By applying to the data controller you have the right to:
- learn whether your personal data is processed,
- request information if it has been processed,
- learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used in line with that purpose,
- know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom it is transferred,
- request correction if it is incomplete or inaccurate,
- request erasure or destruction under the conditions of Article 7 of the Law,
- request that corrections, erasure and destruction be notified to third parties to whom the data was transferred,
- object to a result against you arising from analysis exclusively by automated systems,
- claim compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.
9. How to apply

10. Cookies and local storage
- This website uses no cookies, contains no analytics, advertising or tracking tools, and loads no fonts, scripts or images from other sites.
- The contact form uses no cookies either. To tell automated submissions apart, the form carries a time-limited check value; it is not a cookie and does not identify you.
- The theme (light / dark) and language you choose are kept only in your browser's local storage (localStorage) and are never sent to the server. You can remove them by clearing the site data in your browser.
- When you sign in to the separate FarmAi application (sign in), only a strictly necessary session cookie is used to keep the session secure.
11. FarmAi application
Information about account, site and device data in the FarmAi application is given separately to its users.
