Disclosure on the Protection and Processing of Personal Data by Bisiklet Tur Turizm Tic. ve Paz. Ltd. Şti. / Argeus Travel Agency

Personal Data

Your personal data refers to data that allows you to be identified distinctly from other individuals. Sharing your personal data is a necessity in legal and human relationships we establish in social life. This text aims to explain why we, as Argeus, need your personal data, how we obtain it, and how we process it.

Whose Personal Data Do We Collect?

In addition to our personnel, suppliers, and solution partners who are in a business relationship within Argeus, we collect the personal data of our customers.

Our Methods and Purposes for Collecting and Processing Data

  • We produce documents such as invoices and receipts to confirm the performance of obligations with the data provided by customers registering for events through our websites within the scope of the registration form. In this context, we request customers' full name, contact information, and declarations regarding their city of residence.

  • We store the data provided to us for facilitating requests arising from the sales agreement, such as returns or defective products.

  • We store the personal data of customers who register through our website for purposes such as forming a distance sales contract, completing registration processes, tracking transactions related to the registered event, and communicating regarding changes. This data is shared with financial institutions mediating payments and domestic cargo companies we have agreements with.

  • Information about the age, gender, and preferred event of customers who register through our office or website is used in our sales analyses and various statistical studies aimed at identifying trends in the market we operate in and providing better service to our customers. These statistical studies are viewed as general sales reports by the relevant unit managers of the company. Unauthorized personnel do not have access to customer data.

  • Within the registration system established by Argeus, we process the personal data of customers who fill out the registration form according to the principles stated in the membership agreement. Customers join the programs by accepting the provisions of the contract regarding the events they participate in. We analyze members' shopping habits and notify them of suitable information through the communication channel they have provided to us in the membership agreement. We produce sales analyses and statistical data from shopping-related data that do not contain personal information.

  • In data processing activities within Argeus, customer data is not transferred abroad.

  • With your consent, Argeus sends commercial messages to the contact address you provide to inform you about current campaigns, event dates, or information about events and to offer you special opportunities. To deliver these commercial messages, we share your contact information with third-party companies we have agreements with.

Data Security

Argeus does not transfer the data obtained from data subjects abroad. Unless required by the data processing activity, such data is not shared with business or solution partners. The collected data is stored and processed on computers and servers within Argeus or by domestic data storage service providers with whom Argeus has agreements. Your personal data is accessible to authorized personnel operating within Argeus for purposes related to data collection. Argeus personnel do not engage in data processing activities beyond the scope of the personal data processing policy.
