The domain Registrar as the entity responsible for managing the registration of domain names, is responsible for collecting and storing your Personal Data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. They may share the Personal Data with other Registrars in order to register a domain. The domain Registry, as the entity responsible for maintaining the database of registered domain names, will receive your Personal Data. The Registry uses this information to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of the registered domain names, and to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

16.1. How do we store and protect our clients` personal information

Your information collected through SCALIBIT Services may be stored and processed in the Türkiye, United States or any other country that SCALIBIT operates in. SCALIBIT ensures that all cross-border data transfers comply with applicable data protection laws. We use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other safeguards to protect your personal data when transferred internationally. SCALIBIT does not transfer your information to a country or jurisdiction that does not have the same high requirements for data protection as the laws of your jurisdiction.

All information we collect is stored online on servers owned and operated by SCALIBIT. We take appropriate precautions to prevent your personal information from being disclosed to third parties, which include the following steps:

a) The servers we store your personal information on are located in datacenter facilities with high security standards which include physical ID check for access, 24/7/365 onsite personnel and video control.
b) The servers we use for storing personal information require a certain type of authentication and have security measures in place to avoid 3rd party unauthorized access.
c) All staff members of SCALIBIT who have access to your personal information have signed non-disclosure agreements not to use your information except for the purposes of performing their job.
d) SCALIBIT is concerned with protecting your privacy and data, but we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to SCALIBIT services or guarantee that your information on SCALIBIT services may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of any of our industry standard physical, technical or managerial safeguards. When you enter sensitive information (such as username and password) on our order form or client area, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure though. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information please contact us. We use an outside platform, and a credit card processing company to bill you if you purchase services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.
e) For EU customers, SCALIBIT complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation as set by the European Union regarding the collection, use and retention of personal data.
f) We use your information, given by you – other that client data – to operate, maintain, enhance and provide all features of the service you requested and to provide support to you in regards to the service.

If you wish to access or amend any personal data that we hold about you, or to request that we delete any information about you that we have obtained through the use of our services, you may contact us at any time as set forth in the “Contact us” page on our website. At your request, we will have any reference to you deleted or blocked in our database.

You may update, correct or delete your account information at any time from your client area. Please note that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases instantly or within a reasonable amount of time, we may retain all information you submit for prevention of fraud, abuse or other legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.

16.2. You may decline to provide some personal information to us, in which case we may not be able to provide some of the features of the service.

h) We only retain the personal data collected from a user for as long as the account is active or otherwise for a limited period of time as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes for which we have initially collected it, unless otherwise required by law. We will retain and use information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
i) SCALIBIT does not own, control or direct the use of any of the client’s data stored or processed through the use of our services.

SCALIBIT is unaware of what client data is actually being stored or made available by a client of the service and does not access directly such client data except as authorized by the client, or as necessary to provide the services to the client as requested.

Because SCALIBIT does not collect or determine the use of any personal data contained in the client data and because it does not determine the purposes for which such personal data is collected nor its use, SCALIBIT is not acting in the capacity of data controller in terms of the General Data Protection Regulation and does not have the associated responsibilities under EU law SCALIBIT is responsible only for Hosting according to art. 14 of the DIRECTIVE 2000/31/EC Of The European Parliament And Of The Council of 8 June 2000.

20- INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

As a global web hosting company, SCALIBIT may need to transfer your personal data outside of your country of residence to servers located in other countries. Such transfers will be conducted in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

In the course of our business operations and for the delivery of the Services we may transfer personal data around the world (including but not limited to the EU, EEA, Switzerland, UK, USA, Canada, Türkiye, Australia, Singapore etc.) where we and/or the third parties, specified in Section 7. above, use data centers, facilities and/or maintain data processing operations.

In particular, if you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, SCALIBIT will ensure that any international transfer of your personal data is compliant with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This may involve the use of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or other appropriate safeguards.

By using SCALIBIT services, you consent to the transfer of your personal data as described in this section. If you have any questions or concerns about the transfer of your personal data, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this Privacy Notice.

- Transfers between the UK and the EU/EEA

When transferring personal data from the UK to the EU/EEA we rely on the data adequacy granted to the EU/EEA by the UK government. For data that flows from the EU/EEA to the UK we rely on the adequacy decisions of the European Commission in relation to the UK. This means that the EU and the UK have both determined each region’s data protection laws to be sufficiently robust to ensure data can safely flow between the UK and the EU/EEA.

- Transfers outside the UK and the EU/EEA

In the event that we transfer personal data from the EU/EEA and/or the UK, we will use the appropriate transfer mechanisms to ensure that the transfer is in compliance with applicable data protection legislation. Such mechanism shall be transferring the personal data: (i) to a recipient in a country covered by the UK adequacy regulations; or (ii) to a recipient that has executed the Standard Contractual Clauses, approved by the European Commission (when the data subject is located in the EU/EEA) or the International Data Transfer Agreement, issued by the competent authority in the UK (when the data subject is located in the UK).

In all cases we will ensure that we have provided appropriate and proportional technical and organisational data protection and cybersecurity risk mitigation measures, as well as we have performed the appropriate risk assessments when transferring your personal data outside the EU/EEA and the UK.

21. SECURITY MEASURES

We maintain commercially-reasonable security measures designed to protect the transmission and storage of personal data, and ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems . This can include technical measures like encryption and firewalls, and organizational measures like security policies and procedures. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prove effective in all instances, such as due to sophisticated cyber-attacks. We will make any legally required disclosures in the event of any compromise of your personal data, and to the extent the law allows us to provide such notification via e-mail or conspicuous posting on the Services, you agree to accept notice in that form.

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to encrypt the information you enter on our Site in order to protect its security during transmission to and from our Site. When storing information, we protect its security by encrypting critical data. Access to this information is severely restricted, logged and reviewed periodically. When we collect credit card data and payments (we do not store full credit card numbers and CVV codes), the credit card data is subject to tokenization and strong security measures applied by our payment processors in accordance with the PCI DSS requirements.

We maintain physical, logical, electronic and procedural safeguards when collecting, storing and disclosing personal data. Our security procedures require us in some cases to request proof of identity before disclosing personal data to you.

To protect against unauthorised access to your account and information, we implement session management, strong authentication requirements, login expiration mechanisms and the option of using 2-factor authentication for Client Area access. Authentication data is encrypted. As an additional safety measure, we ask you to sign out when you finish using your account and your computer.

Although we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to maintain the safety and security of your personal data against loss, theft and unauthorised use, access or modification, please note that no transmission of information over the Internet is completely secure. Consequently, please note that we cannot fully guarantee the security of any personal data that you transfer over the Internet to us.
