Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Sparlio ("we", "us", "Sparlio") collects, uses and protects the personal data of visitors and clients of our website (sparlio.com). Sparlio acts as the data controller and complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Turkish Law on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK, No. 6698).

Depending on how you interact with us, we may process the following categories:

• Identity & contact: name, email, phone, company.
• Communications: form submissions, emails, briefs you share.
• Technical data: IP address, browser, device type, pages visited, referrer URL.
• Cookie & analytics data: anonymous visitor metrics, campaign source, behavioural data.
• Contractual data: project agreements, invoicing and payment records (clients only).

• Responding to proposal requests, entering into and performing contracts.
• Managing project workflows, client relationships and invoicing.
• Securing, maintaining and improving the website and our services.
• Sending marketing communications (newsletters, remarketing) where you have opted in.
• Complying with legal obligations (tax, accounting, audit).

We rely on the following legal bases: your consent, performance of a contract, legitimate interests, and legal obligations. Marketing and third-party analytics cookies always require your explicit opt-in, which you can withdraw at any time.

We may share your data with:

• Processors providing hosting, email, CRM, analytics and advertising infrastructure (e.g. Vercel, Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Resend).
• Legal, accounting and audit partners we engage.
• Authorities when required by law or court order.

For transfers outside the EU/EEA, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to meet mandatory statutory retention periods (tax, commercial law). After that, data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.

Under GDPR arts. 15–22 and KVKK art. 11, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data and request information about its processing.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request erasure or anonymisation of your data.
• Object to processing and withdraw consent at any time.
• Request data portability.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority or the Turkish DPA (KVKK).

To exercise these rights contact us at hello@sparlio.com. We will reply within statutory timeframes.

We apply technical and organisational measures (HTTPS/TLS, role-based access control, encryption, audit logs, regular updates) to protect your data against unauthorised access. No internet transmission, however, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

We use strictly necessary, analytics and marketing cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced on the site and/or by email. Questions? hello@sparlio.com
