Office: Logos Ofis, Emek Mahallesi, Bişkek Caddesi, MTC Plaza, No:125-127, Daire: 16, Çankaya / Ankara, Türkiye. Contact: info@islamicmacro.com.
1. Personal Data We May Process
Identity and account data: name, username and account identifiers.
Contact data: email address, billing address and telephone number where provided.

Technical/security data: IP address, access timestamps, device/browser information, logs, security events and necessary cookie identifiers.
Support and communications: information contained in customer support requests and correspondence.
Government identification numbers (such as national ID, passport or tax ID) are not collected routinely unless required for a lawful billing, tax, identity or other legitimate purpose.
2. Purposes
Providing and administering accounts and paid Services.
Processing subscriptions, payments, invoices, cancellations and refunds.
Delivering research newsletters and service communications. Marketing emails are sent only if you opted in; you can opt out at any time. Service emails about your account, trial and billing are not marketing.
Protecting the Platform against fraud, abuse, unauthorized access and security incidents.
Maintaining, troubleshooting and improving the Platform.
Complying with tax, accounting, legal and regulatory obligations.
3. Legal Bases
For Turkish processing, the applicable KVKK processing condition is determined for each activity under Article 5. Where international privacy law applies, processing is based on the lawful basis available under that law, such as contract necessity, legal obligation, legitimate interests where permitted, or consent where required.
4. Third-Party Providers
We use these providers: Vercel Inc. (website hosting, file storage and scheduled jobs); a PostgreSQL database hosting provider; an email delivery (SMTP) provider for account and service emails; and Paddle.com (checkout, payment, tax and subscription billing). Paddle acts as Merchant of Record for subscription orders and processes your billing details under its own privacy notice (paddle.com/legal/privacy). We do not use advertising or analytics trackers.
We do not sell personal data for independent commercial marketing. If advertising or other monetization involving personal data is introduced, this Notice will be updated and any required consent or legal basis will be obtained.
5. Payments
Card details are entered only in the Paddle checkout. IslamicMacro does not receive or store full card numbers or CVV codes. We receive from Paddle the subscription and customer identifiers, plan, status, dates, amounts and payment outcome needed to provide access.
6. International Transfers
Some infrastructure or service providers may process personal data outside Türkiye. Cross-border transfers are performed using a mechanism permitted by applicable law. For Turkish transfers, this may include an adequacy decision, an appropriate safeguard such as the applicable KVKK standard contract, or another statutory mechanism.
7. Cookies
We use only strictly necessary cookies (a sign-in session cookie and a security token) and one browser storage entry that remembers your cookie-banner choice. See the Cookie Policy for the list.
8. Retention and Security
Data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose and applicable legal, tax, accounting, contractual, security and dispute-resolution requirements. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, but no online system can be guaranteed completely secure.
9. International Customer Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent and other statutory rights. These rights are subject to applicable law and lawful exceptions. Contact info@islamicmacro.com to exercise applicable rights.
If you are in the European Union or the European Economic Area, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in your country of residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. In the United Kingdom, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). In Türkiye, you can complain to the Personal Data Protection Authority (Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu) after first applying to us, as described in our KVKK / GDPR Notice.
10. Children
The Services are not intentionally directed to children where applicable law requires parental authorization. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in circumstances where such collection is unlawful.
11. Changes
We may update this Notice when our processing activities, providers or legal requirements change. The effective date will be updated, and material changes will be communicated where required.
