01INTRODUCTION
Sunchronize (referred to as "Sunchronize") undertakes to protect the online privacy of the users of this Website/Application (the "Application"). For this reason, this Privacy Policy has been written to enable you to understand Sunchronize’s policy regarding your privacy, as well as how your personal information will be handled while using the Application. This Privacy Policy also contains information relating to your being informed about the processing of your personal data and, where necessary, the obtaining of your explicit consent.
In general, all information and data that you provide to Sunchronize through the Application in the context of the use of Sunchronize’s services, or that is otherwise collected by Sunchronize through the Application (the "Services", as described in the Terms of Use), will be processed by Sunchronize in a lawful, fair and transparent manner. To this end, and as explained in more detail below, Sunchronize takes into account internationally recognised principles relating to the processing of personal data, such as purpose limitation, compliance with retention periods, data minimisation, data quality and confidentiality.
02DATA CONTROLLER AND CONTACT
Sunchronize, whose corporate details appear at the beginning of this Privacy Policy, is the data controller of the personal data processing activities carried out through the Application.
You may address your questions regarding this Privacy Policy and our personal data processing activities to info@sunchronize.com.
03APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LEGISLATION
Sunchronize processes personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation: in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK); in the European Union and the European Economic Area and in the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR); and in other countries, the relevant local legislation. The rights held by the data subject may vary according to the legislation of the country in which they are located.
04PERSONAL DATA PROCESSED
When you use the Application, Sunchronize obtains and may process your personal data that may directly identify you or that, when combined with other information, may render you identifiable. Should you choose to share it with Sunchronize, Sunchronize may likewise collect and process information relating to other persons.
This information of yours is characterised as "Personal Data" and may be collected and processed both by being shared directly by you (for example, when you carry out a transaction through the relevant forms and screens on the application) and by means of the analysis of your behaviour on the Application.
The Personal Data that may be processed by Sunchronize through the Application is as follows:
05IDENTITY, CONTACT DETAILS AND OTHER PERSONAL DATA
In order to access Sunchronize’s Services offered through the Application (for example, contacting Sunchronize to request further information, or registering on our platform), Sunchronize may process your personal data such as identity information (first name, surname), contact information (e-mail address, telephone number), location (the location where the solar panel is installed, GPS location or coordinates) and images (visuals of the area where the solar panels are installed, camera access, photographs). For further information, you may refer to the Terms of Use.
06PERSONAL DATA OF OTHER PERSONS
Should you decide to share, through the Application, Personal Data relating to other persons, you will be regarded as an independent data controller in respect of such Personal Data and, by its very nature, all legal obligations and liabilities will rest with you. In addition to these matters, you are obliged to indemnify Sunchronize against any complaint, allegation or claim for compensation for damages that may arise from the processing of the Personal Data you provide to Sunchronize and/or that may be asserted by the third parties whose information you have provided.
Sunchronize does not collect this information directly from third parties; rather, it obtains such information indirectly from you. For this reason, before providing Sunchronize with any information relating to third parties, you must ensure that you have obtained the consent of those persons. Otherwise, you must ensure that you have another appropriate legal ground on which you may rely in order to lawfully transmit such information to Sunchronize.
07BROWSING DATA
The operation of the Application, as with other internet sites on the internet, requires the use of computer systems and software procedures that collect information about the users of the Application as part of their routine operations. Sunchronize does not collect this information for the purpose of associating it with specific users; nevertheless, it remains possible for such users to be identified directly through this information or indirectly through other information collected. For this reason, this information is also regarded as Personal Data.
This information includes several parameters relating to your operating system and information technology environment, including your IP address, your location (country), your computer’s domain names, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the resources you request on the Application, the time of the requests made, the method used to transmit the requests to the server, the size of the file obtained in response to a request, and the numerical code indicating the status of the response sent by the server (successful, error, etc.).
This data is used to compile statistical information regarding the use of the Application, as well as to ensure the correct operation of the Application and to detect any faults and/or misuse of the Application.
08SOLAR SYSTEM AND INTEGRATION DATA
Sunchronize processes technical data relating to your solar system (number of panels, capacity, installation date, inverter make and model), the energy production and performance data generated by the system, fault/alert records, and meteorological data relating to the site on which your system is installed. Some of this data is obtained automatically from the systems of the inverter manufacturer (for example SolarEdge, Fronius, Huawei, Enphase) where you have granted authorisation.
The third-party service credentials that you provide in order to establish this integration (API keys, access tokens and OAuth authorisations) are stored encrypted and are used solely for the purpose of retrieving data belonging to your system; they are not shared with third parties. You may withdraw the authorisation you have granted at any time through the relevant third-party service; in such case Sunchronize cannot access the relevant data.
09PAYMENT AND SUBSCRIPTION DATA
Your subscription status, credit balance, purchase and transaction records and invoice information are processed. Your credit card information is not processed by Sunchronize; such data is processed directly through the PCI-DSS compliant infrastructure of the relevant payment service provider (App Store, Google Play, or Paddle in its capacity as Merchant of Record). Only a record indicating that the transaction has taken place is transmitted to Sunchronize.
10DATA RELATING TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER
Should you register in the capacity of Service Provider, the name/title, business name, logo, contact details, tax office and tax number, permit/licence/authorisation and certification documents, equipment visuals and reference information that you share within the scope of the Professional Profile are processed.
11CONTENT DATA
The Service Request content, Quotations, reviews and ratings that you create through the Application, together with the records of the in-app communications you establish with other users or with Sunchronize, are processed.
12DEVICE AND NOTIFICATION DATA
Your device identifier, operating system and application version, and the notification token required in order for push notifications to be sent, are processed.
13PURPOSE OF PROCESSING
Service Provision: responding to your requests for further information, enabling accurate assessments to be made, and providing the other Services you may request through the Application (such as registering on our platform);
Marketing: carrying out promotional activities, including direct marketing, market research and the conduct of surveys.
Compliance: complying with laws that require Sunchronize to collect and/or further process certain types of Personal Data and, where necessary, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
Analytics: analysing how users reach the Application and how they behave on the Application, in order for Sunchronize to optimise its business operations and the performance, content and features of this Application, and to offer more personalised features, content and recommendations in our products.
Anti-Misuse/Anti-Fraud: preventing and detecting misuse of the Application or fraudulent activities carried out through the Application.
Notifications: in-app and/or push notifications may be sent to users for the purpose of providing information regarding transactions carried out through the Application, such as Service Requests, the submission of a quotation, the acceptance or rejection of a quotation, reservations, cancellations and the like. The limited personal data required in this context may be processed.
Aggregated Analysis and Reporting: Sunchronize may produce statistical reports by anonymising or aggregating the data obtained from the use of the Application and may share such reports with third parties. Anonymised data does not qualify as Personal Data, as it cannot be associated with an identified or identifiable person.
14GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING AND THE MANDATORY / OPTIONAL NATURE OF THE PROCESSING
Sunchronize’s grounds for processing your Personal Data for the purposes set out above are as follows:
Service Provision: Processing for this purpose is necessary in order for the Services to be provided and is mandatory for the conclusion and performance of the contract established with you. The provision of the information marked as mandatory on the forms is necessary in order for the Services to be provided; if such information is not provided, the Service cannot be rendered. Completing the fields marked as optional is at your discretion. Should you submit a service request, some of your contact details will be shared with the Service Provider, to the extent mandatory for the planning and performance of the requested service, so that accurate quotations may be made to you and so that the Service Provider may contact you.
Notifications: The sending of transaction notifications relating to processes such as Service Requests, quotations, reservations and cancellations is necessary in order for the Services to be provided and falls within the scope of the performance of the contract. Commercial notifications, on the other hand, are sent solely on the basis of your explicit consent and may be turned off at any time from your device settings.
Marketing: Processing for this purpose is generally based on your explicit consent. You are not obliged to give Sunchronize permission for your Personal Data to be used for these purposes, and should you choose not to do so, you will not face any adverse consequence (other than being unable to receive further marketing communications from Sunchronize). Any consent given may also be withdrawn at a later stage. In addition, should you provide your e-mail address while receiving any service from Sunchronize, that e-mail address may be used to send you direct marketing communications relating to Sunchronize’s own similar products or services. You will be given the opportunity to exercise your right to object when you provide your e-mail address and in every marketing communication sent to you.
Compliance: Processing for this purpose is necessary in order for Sunchronize to fulfil its legal obligations. When you provide any Personal Data to Sunchronize, Sunchronize must process it in accordance with the laws applicable to it; those laws may also include the retention of your Personal Data and its notification to official authorities for the purposes of compliance with tax, customs or other legislation. Sunchronize may also process Personal Data where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of any legal claim.
Analytics: Processing for this purpose is carried out by means of analytics cookies on the website and analytics measurement tools in the mobile application, and solely on the basis of your explicit consent (cookies are placed with the consent you give by clicking a button in the notification window displayed to you or by setting your cookie preferences). You are not obliged to give Sunchronize consent for your Personal Data to be used for this purpose, and should you choose not to do so, you will not face any consequence. Any consent given may also be withdrawn at a later stage (for further information, see the section of this Policy entitled "Rights of the Data Subject").
Anti-Misuse/Anti-Fraud: Processing for this purpose is based on Sunchronize’s legitimate interest, namely the prevention and detection of fraudulent activities or misuse of the Application and the ensuring of the security of the Application.
