At Aegean Insight Systems, we recognize that market intelligence is built on trust. This policy outlines our rigorous framework for protecting personal data within the Turkish and international tourism sectors.
Full alignment with Turkish and EU data protection standards.

Information Lifecycle Management
1. Defining Scope and Collection
In our pursuit of excellence in tourism analytics, we collect data that allows us to refine our market intelligence. This includes direct identifiers provided via our contact interfaces—such as your name, corporate email address, and professional affiliation—and technical metadata generated during your interaction with our digital ecosystem.
We do not collect sensitive personal data ("Special Categories") unless explicitly required by a specific research engagement and protected by additional encryption layers. Visitor data is typically aggregated or pseudonymized before reaching our primary analysis engines.
2. Purpose of Processing
- Contractual Necessity: Delivering specific hospitality research reports and intelligence subscriptions.
- Legitimate Interest: Improving the functionality of our intelligence platforms and ensuring cybersecurity.
- Consent: Opt-in communications regarding new sector insights and Izmir-based tourism symposiums.
3. Data Retention and Erasure
We retain personal data only for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined above. Contact data for inquiry purposes is typically archived after 24 months of inactivity. Financial records pertaining to sector report purchases are retained for 10 years in compliance with Turkish tax regulations. At any point, users may invoke their "Right to be Forgotten" by contacting our Data Protection Officer at info@aegeaninsightsystems.digital.
Your Statutory Rights
Under Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK), you maintain absolute control over your digital footprint.
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed, and where that is the case, access the information and the source of such data.
Correction of incomplete or inaccurate data processed regarding your professional profile.
Request the erasure of personal data under conditions stipulated in Article 7 of the Law.
We deploy industrial-grade encryption for every byte of market data we ingest.
INTEGRITY
"Data is the foundation of the modern Aegean economy. We treat your privacy not as a legal obligation, but as the cardinal rule of professional research."
Third-Party Transfers
Aegean Insight Systems does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Data transfers only occur when:
-
Cloud Infrastructure: Using secure, ISO-certified hosting providers located within the EU or TR.
-
Regulatory Requests: When required by Turkish law enforcement or regulatory authorities in accordance with due process.
-
Research Partners: Sharing aggregated, non-identifiable statistical sets with academic tourism departments.
