Personal Data Notice for Franchise Inquiries
This notice explains how we use the personal information you share when making a franchise inquiry. It is separate from any request for consent, and submitting an inquiry does not subscribe you to marketing.
Who is responsible for your information?
The data controller for franchise inquiries is KUYASH GIDA YİYECEK İÇECEK İTHALAT İHRACAT SANAYİ VE TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ. Our company is the authorized operator for receiving and evaluating machi machi franchise inquiries in Türkiye.
Address: H. Halit Bey Sk. No:18A, Vişnezade, 34357 Beşiktaş / İstanbul. For privacy questions and requests about your personal information, contact info@machimachi.com.tr.
How do we collect your information, and what do we ask for?
You provide your information directly through the franchise form on our website, and we receive your inquiry electronically.
Required information: full name, email, phone number with country code, proposed country (Türkiye), city and district, property status, relevant experience and intended opening timeframe. You can say that your district is undecided; you do not need to have a location to apply.
Company name, contact language and up to 1,000 characters about your plans are optional. If you have a location, you may also share its neighborhood, approximate indoor area, ownership or tenancy status, outdoor space and approximate area, and a map link. We do not ask for identity documents, banking information or a budget. Please do not include sensitive information, such as health details, or unnecessary information about other people.
We also record an inquiry reference, submission time, page language and the version of the privacy notice presented to you. Wix security services may process connection and device information. Information you have not submitted stays in the open page’s memory while you complete the form; the form does not save it in browser storage or the address bar.
Why do we use your information, and on what legal grounds?
Inquiry review and contact: We use your information to receive your inquiry, evaluate your plans, contact you and discuss a suitable next step. Necessary processing to manage inquiries in an orderly way relies on our legitimate interests, provided it does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms (Article 5(2)(f) of Türkiye’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698, or KVKK).
Security: Necessary and proportionate abuse prevention to protect the inquiry process also relies on our legitimate interests, subject to the same protection of your rights and freedoms (Article 5(2)(f)).
Contract discussions: Article 5(2)(c) applies where processing is directly related to and necessary for establishing or performing a contract to which you are a party. This ground does not automatically apply to every initial inquiry.
Legal duties and protection of rights: Article 5(2)(ç) applies to our legal obligations, such as responding to personal-data rights requests. Article 5(2)(e) applies to limited records necessary to establish, exercise or protect a specific right. Each ground applies only to the relevant operation and necessary information.
This form does not collect information for marketing. Reading this notice or submitting an inquiry is not blanket consent to processing or overseas transfers.
Who receives your information, and why?
Inquiry review: Only the existing site owner reviews inquiries for our company through the Wix Forms & Submissions dashboard, which requires authentication.
Form and record services: Wix provides the form, submission records, contact management, hosting, security and email-notification services. Your email and phone may create or update a Wix contact record to help manage the inquiry; this does not create a marketing subscription.
Inquiry notifications: Wix sends our company a generic new-inquiry alert and sends you an acknowledgment email. These email bodies do not include your application answers; the staff alert links to the dashboard, which requires sign-in.
We use info@machimachi.com.tr and Google mail services for business correspondence. We do not currently forward your details to the Taiwan brand owner or other reviewers to evaluate your inquiry. Any disclosure to competent public authorities is limited to the relevant legal obligation and the information needed.
Processing outside Türkiye
Wix cloud infrastructure, security and email services may involve processing personal information outside Türkiye. Business correspondence handled through Google may also involve overseas processing.
Overseas transfers are subject to the separate conditions in KVKK Article 9. Reading this notice or sending the form does not replace those conditions. You can contact info@machimachi.com.tr for information about service providers and overseas processing.
How long do we keep your information?
We keep your information for as long as it is needed to evaluate your inquiry and conduct related discussions. When an inquiry closes, is withdrawn or no longer needs particular information, we reassess what must be kept.
If a legal obligation or a specific legal claim requires retention, we keep only the information needed for that purpose and period. Information is deleted, destroyed or anonymized under the applicable procedures and time limits when the reasons for processing and retention end. This assessment covers applications, linked contact records, correspondence and notification records. Records that move into a contractual relationship may be subject to separate obligations.
Your rights and how to contact us
Under KVKK Article 11, you can ask whether your information is processed and obtain information about that processing, its purpose, whether it is used for that purpose, and recipients in Türkiye or abroad. You can request correction of incomplete or inaccurate information, deletion or destruction where legal conditions apply, and notification of those actions to recipients. You can object to an adverse outcome based solely on automated analysis and seek compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.
Email info@machimachi.com.tr with questions. You can make a formal KVKK request from an email address previously supplied to us and recorded in our system, or send a signed written request to the address above. Other methods prescribed by law are also available. We may ask for only the information needed to verify your identity and match your request to the right records. Please avoid sending excessive identity documents; contact us about a secure way to make your request.
We respond as soon as possible and within 30 days. If your request is refused, the response is insufficient or no response is provided on time, you may complain to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Board under the conditions and deadlines in KVKK.
