Personal data is all data that can be related to you personally, e.g., name, address, e-mail addresses, user behavior.
If we use contracted service providers for individual functions of our offer or would like to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail about the respective processes below. In doing so, we will also state the defined criteria for the storage period.
The personal data that we collect about you falls into the following categories:
1. Data that are collected while downloading the App
When you download our App, the required data is transferred to the App Store or Google Play Store, i.e. in particular user name, email address and customer number of your account, time of download, payment information and the individual device identification number. We have no influence on this data collection and are not responsible for it. We only process the data insofar as it is necessary for downloading our App to your mobile device.
2. Data that you provide voluntarily

The processing of your personal data is based on your consent as well as our obligations to fulfill the contract concluded with you.

The app also requires the following authorizations:
Usage data is processed and used to provide the service. This data processing is justified by the fact that the processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you as the data subject and us in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO for the use of the App.

When you start to use our App we require certain information to process your order and deliver the products to you. Your personal data we process includes:

When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, your e-mail address and, if provided by you, your name and telephone number will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. We delete the data collected in this context after the storage is no longer necessary, or - in the case of legal retention obligations - restrict the processing.
In some instances, such as allergic reactions to products delivered by Getir, some of the personal information that you provide may include sensitive personal data (e.g., such as allergy information or other health-related information). Such sensitive personal data will only be processed based on your freely given consent.
Marketing Communications
You may subscribe to a free newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask will be transmitted to us
This data includes your e-mail address and, if provided by you, your name and telephone number.
If you purchase goods or services via our App and provide your e-mail address, it may subsequently be used by us to send you marketing messages. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods and services will be sent via the newsletter.
If you register for the newsletter, the data processing will be based on your consent. If we send you newsletters as a result of the sale of goods and services, the processing is based on § 7 (3) UWG.
3. You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by (i) clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing e-mails we send you, or (ii) unticking the communication channels you wish to opt-out under the Profile - Communication Preferences section in our App.

We use Google Maps to display interactive maps. Google Maps is a map service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. By using Google Maps, data about the use of our App, including your IP address and the (start) address entered as part of the route planner function, may be transmitted to Google in the USA.

From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from third-party sources (including social media companies, like Facebook), but only where you have chosen to connect your Getir account with your social media account or have used social media information to register with Getir. We only collect information from these third parties where we have checked that these third parties either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your personal information to us.

The use of cookies, insofar as they are essential, is based on our legitimate interest. For the remaining cookies, the processing is based on your consent.
In general, we will use the personal data we collect from you only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. However, we may also use your personal data for other purposes that are not incompatible with the purposes we have disclosed to you (such as archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes) if and where this is permitted by applicable data protection laws.
As indicated in our Terms and Conditions of Service, you must be aged 18 years or older to download and use the App. We do not sell products for purchase by children. We may sell children’s products for purchase by adults.
Getir processes the personal data stated above for the following purposes:

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
However, we will collect and process your personal information
If we ask you to provide personal data to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal data is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal data).
If we collect and use your personal data in reliance on our legitimate interests, this interest will be to operate our App and communicate with you as necessary to provide our services to you and for our legitimate commercial interest, for instance, when responding to your queries, or improving our App. In addition to the legitimate interests described in this Privacy Policy, we may have other legitimate interests and if appropriate we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal data, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “How to contact us” heading below.
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal data. Specific measures we or our third-party service providers use include anti-virus software and firewalls, access controls, encryption and detection and prevention software to detect and prevent cyber-attacks.
The service providers and business partners are carefully selected by us with particular regard to the suitability of the technical and organizational measures taken by them and checked for their compliance. We process the data in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) as a matter of principle. However, it is possible that your data may be transferred to controllers or processors in a country outside the European Union or the EEA (so-called "third country"). These countries may not have the same level of data protection as the EEA. However, we are obliged to ensure that the personal data processed by us, our group companies and our partners outside the EEA are protected in the same way as if they were processed within the EEA. Therefore, if your data is processed outside the EEA, there are certain safeguards in place.
In this case, we will provide suitable guarantees to ensure that the respective service providers protect the data appropriately, such as entering into the EU model clauses with the recipient of such data. We ensure similar protection by ensuring that at least one of the following safeguards is in place:
Your personal data may be processed in the United States of America (US), United Kingdom (UK), India and Turkey.
Your personal data will be stored and retained for us in accordance with the applicable laws on data protection, and to the extent necessary for the processing purposes set out under this Privacy Policy or resulting from such laws. We retain personal data we collect from you to provide you with our services or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements. For example:
When it is no longer necessary to process your personal data for the purposes for which it is processed, we will either aggregate, delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Privacy Policy, we may retain your personal data where such retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.
We use technologies involving algorithms and automated decision processing to provide our services, based on real-time decision processes or on analytics or the categorization of various usage of our service. However, we will not make any automated decisions about an individual which would produce legal affects or similarly significantly affects on the data subject, unless where it is (i) necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract, (ii) or pursuant to individual’s prior consent, or (iii) required by applicable law.
You have the following data privacy rights:
You have the right to receive information from us at any time, upon request, about the personal data we process that concerns you within the scope of Art. 15 GDPR. To do this, you can send a request by post or email to the addresses below.
You have the right to request that we correct personal data relating to you without delay if it is incorrect. To do so, please contact us at the addresses below.
You have the right, under the conditions described in Art. 17 GDPR, to demand that we delete the personal data relating to you. These conditions provide in particular for the right to erasure if the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, as well as in cases of unlawful processing, the existence of an objection or the existence of a duty to erase under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject. You may request deletion of your account and the associated personal data: (i) through the Account Settings page in our App (iOS users); or (ii) by contacting us using the contact details provided below (all users).

For example, we may retain personal data for legal, tax or accounting purposes or for the prevention of fraud.
You have the right to demand that we restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. This right exists in particular if the accuracy of the personal data is disputed between the user and us, for the period of time required to verify the accuracy, as well as in the event that the user requests restricted processing instead of erasure in the case of an existing right to erasure; furthermore, in the event that the data is no longer necessary for the purposes pursued by us, but the user requires it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, as well as if the successful exercise of an objection is still disputed between us and the user. To exercise your right to restrict processing, please contact us at the addresses below.
You have the right to receive from us the personal data relating to you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR. To exercise your right to data portability, please contact us at the addresses below.

We will stop processing your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
You also have the right to contact the competent supervisory authority in case of complaints. The competent supervisory authority is Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit, who can be found under here.
We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
