VI. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

You can find detailed information about which personal data we process and for what purposes in the "Clarification Text". As a rule, special category personal data is not requested from Candidates during membership. However, Candidates may, at their own discretion, include special category personal data among their membership information. Under KVKK, your race, ethnic origin, political opinion, philosophical belief, religion, sect or other beliefs, appearance and clothing, association, foundation or union membership, health, sexual life, criminal conviction and security measures, and biometric and genetic data are your special category personal data.

If you share with us, the special category personal data that may be subject to processing and the processing methods are as follows:

"Personal Information" section in your resume

When specifying your military status, you are asked to provide an explanation. The information you provide here may reflect your political and philosophical views (such as conscientious objection) or your health status (such as exemption reasons).

"Additional Information" section in your resume

Your blood type, communities you are a member of, and smoking status. In addition, information you write in the hobbies/interests section may also contain special category personal data if you share it.

Information you provide in the "Add Your Information" section of your resume may also be defined as special category personal data under KVKK.

Some employers, mostly due to their field of activity, may request some of your special category personal data. Therefore, to show the necessary sensitivity in processing your special category personal data, a separate tab has been created in your resume for the "Personal Information", "Additional Information", and "Add Your Information" sections mentioned above, which may contain special category personal data. Before filling out this tab, explicit consent is requested from you in a separate checkbox for the processing and transfer of your special category personal data.

Your personal data and, if you share, your special category personal data are shared with employers via the information in your resume to assist both your job search and employers' employee search. Employers process this data for their own recruitment processes.

VII. TERMINATION

This Agreement will remain in effect as long as the Candidate is a member and will continue to have effect and consequences between the Parties. If the Candidate leaves membership or their membership is suspended temporarily or permanently, the Agreement will be deemed terminated. If the Candidate violates this Agreement or certain rules regarding membership and services, Recrugate may unilaterally terminate the Agreement, and the Candidate will compensate Recrugate for all damages incurred due to the act(s) causing termination.

VIII. FORCE MAJEURE

In all cases legally considered force majeure, Recrugate does not accept any responsibility for late or non-performance of obligations under this Agreement. In such cases, the Candidate may not claim any compensation from Recrugate for delay, non-performance, or default. The Candidate accepts and declares this in advance.

IX. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

Disputes arising from the use of the services in this Agreement are subject to Turkish Law, and Istanbul Central (Çağlayan) Courts and Enforcement Offices are authorized.

Recrugate may amend the provisions of this Agreement at any time; any changes will be published and become effective on the same date.
