3. What Legal Basis Do We Use to Process Your Information?
This section applies to you if you are in the EU or the UK
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR require us to explain the applicable legal bases we rely on to process your personal information. Therefore, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
• Consent; We may process your information if you have consented to us using your personal information for a specific purpose (i.e. if you have given your consent).
• Performance of a Contract; We may process your personal information where we believe it is necessary to provide our Services or fulfill our contractual obligations to you, such as at your request, before we enter into a contract with you.
• Legitimate Interests; We may process your information where we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests. Those interests do not override your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described below:
• To develop and display personalized and relevant advertising content for our users,
• To analyze how our services are used and improve Gıda ve Sağlık,
• To diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities,
• To understand how our users use our services so we can improve the user experience.
• Legal Obligations; We may process your information when we believe that processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, such as cooperating with a law enforcement agency or regulatory authority, exercising or defending our legal rights, or disclosing your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
• Vital Interests; We may process your information when we believe that processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as in situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
In legal terms, we are generally the “data controller” under European data protection laws of the personal information described in this Privacy Policy because we determine the means and/or purposes of our data processing. This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information that we process on behalf of our users as a “data processor.” In these cases, the parties to whom we provide services and with whom we have entered into a data processing contract are the “data controllers” responsible for your personal information, and we will only process your information on their behalf by your instructions. If you want to learn more about the parties’ privacy practices, you should read their privacy policies and direct any questions you have to them.
This section applies to you if you are located in Canada

• If the collection is clearly in an individual’s interest and consent cannot be obtained in a timely manner,
• For investigations and fraud detection and prevention,
• For commercial transactions, if certain conditions are met,
• If it is included in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to evaluate, process, or resolve an insurance claim,
• To identify injured, ill, or deceased persons and contact their loved ones,
• If we have reasonable grounds to believe that an individual is, has been, or maybe a victim of financial abuse,
• If it is reasonable to expect that collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of agreement or a violation of the laws of Canada or a state,
• If disclosure is necessary to comply with a subpoena, search warrant, court order, or court order regarding the production of records,
• If the individual is in their employment, business, or occupation and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced,
• If the collection is for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes only,
• If the information is publicly available and specified by regulations.

11. Controls for Do Not Track Features
Most web browsers, mobile operating systems, and mobile applications include a Do Not Track (“DNT”) feature or setting that you can activate to indicate that you do not want data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. Currently, a uniform technology standard has yet to be finalized for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. Therefore, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms that automatically communicate that you do not want to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. We do not currently respond to them because there is currently no industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals.
