Special Note on Allergy and Dietary Information
Allergy information may qualify as health data and therefore as special-category personal data under Article 6 KVKK. Accordingly:
- The dietary/allergy field in the event request form is optional; you are not required to complete it.
- If you complete it, your allergy/dietary information is processed solely on the basis of the explicit consent you give via a separate checkbox on the form, and only for menu planning and food safety purposes.
- Withholding explicit consent does not prevent you from receiving our services; however, in that case allergy and dietary restrictions cannot be taken into account in menu planning.
- If you share allergy/dietary information belonging to your event guests, you must inform them of this notice.
3. Purposes of Processing
- Receiving, assessing and responding to contact requests,
- Assessing event requests, preparing quotations, concluding and performing the contract,
- Menu planning and (only with your explicit consent) accommodating allergy/dietary restrictions,
- Record-keeping regarding service processes and evidence in potential disputes,
- Fulfilling legal obligations and responding to requests of competent authorities,
- Ensuring the secure and proper operation of the website,
- Only if you separately opt in: sending commercial electronic messages for promotional and marketing purposes.
4. Legal Bases
Your personal data are processed on the following legal bases:
- Article 5/2-c KVKK — processing directly related to the conclusion or performance of a contract: assessment of requests submitted via the contact and event request forms, quotation and contract processes.
- Article 5/2-f KVKK — our legitimate interests, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms are not harmed: responding to requests, record-keeping, website security.
