3. Purposes of processing
- creating and managing your member account,

- sending campaigns and news, only if you consent.
4. Collection method and legal grounds
Your personal data is collected electronically or physically through the membership, order, payment and contact forms on our website, the file upload area, WhatsApp, email, phone and in person at our workshop. Processing is based on the following legal grounds under KVKK Art. 5/2:
- it is directly related to the conclusion or performance of a contract (membership, order, production, delivery) — Art. 5/2 (c),
- it is necessary to fulfil our legal obligations (invoices, tax records, distance sales records) — Art. 5/2 (ç),
- it is necessary to establish, exercise or protect a right (evidence in case of dispute) — Art. 5/2 (e),
- our legitimate interest, provided it does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms (site security, preventing misuse) — Art. 5/2 (f).
Commercial electronic messages are sent only on the basis of your consent under Law No. 6563; not giving consent does not prevent you from using any of our services.
5. Recipients
Your personal data is shared only to the extent necessary for the purposes above; it is never sold or rented for commercial purposes:
- Payment institution (PayTR): collecting card payments and preventing fraud,
- E-invoice / accounting service (BizimHesap) and our accountant: issuing invoices and statutory records,
- Courier companies: delivering your order to your address (name, phone, address),
- Hosting and email service providers: running the site and sending order notifications,
- Authorised public authorities and courts: where required by law.
If you choose to contact us via WhatsApp or email services whose servers are located abroad, those messages are processed on the provider’s infrastructure; using these channels is your choice and is not required to order through our website.
6. Retention
Order, payment and invoice records are kept for the period required by tax and commercial legislation (as a rule 10 years). Distance contract and consent records are kept for the period required by the relevant legislation. Print files are kept for a reasonable period for possible reprints and complaints and are deleted afterwards. Membership data is kept for the duration of your membership, and your marketing consent until you withdraw it. Digital invitations go offline 6 months after they are created; 7 days after expiry, the invitation’s RSVP replies, guest list, guestbook messages, photo and WhatsApp number are permanently deleted. Photos not used on Smart Print and invitation pages (uploaded but not published, or replaced) are not kept and are deleted automatically shortly afterwards. Data whose retention period has expired is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
Trade reseller details and documents are kept for the duration of the reseller relationship and for 10 years after it ends, as required by tax law; documents of rejected applications are deleted after 6 months.
7. Cookies
Our site uses only cookies that are strictly necessary for it to work: a session cookie (your cart, language and currency preference, login status) and a security (CSRF) cookie. No advertising, tracking or third-party analytics cookies are used. Necessary cookies are deleted when you close your browser or the session expires; if you block them in your browser settings, the cart and login will not work.
