Last updated: 14 April 2026

DECLARATION OF EXPRESS CONSENT

I hereby declare that I have read, understood and been informed of the Data Protection Act Information Notice provided to me whilst using the AVHOS platform operated by AVHOS Legal Automation Systems.

This declaration of explicit consent applies solely to data processing activities for which explicit consent is required by law. Data processing activities that do not require explicit consent, such as the conclusion and performance of a contract, the fulfilment of legal obligations, the establishment, exercise or defence of a right, and the legitimate interests of the data controller, may be carried out on the basis of their own legal grounds.

In this context, I hereby declare that I have freely and explicitly given my consent in respect of the matters set out below:

ARTICLE 1 – PERSONAL DATA TO BE PROCESSED SUBJECT TO EXPRESS CONSENT

In cases requiring explicit consent, the following personal data may be processed:

Transaction data relating to my user account
My case files and their contents
Documents and files I have uploaded
Contents of my petitions
Information on the parties to the case
My transaction security information (IP address, cookies, log records, session information)
Usage and content data that must be transferred to service providers abroad
Content containing special category personal data, where necessary

ARTICLE 2 – PROCESSING PURPOSES REQUIRING EXPRESS CONSENT

I give my explicit consent to the processing of my personal data for the following purposes:

Carrying out other data processing activities based on explicit consent

ARTICLE 3 – DATA TRANSFER AND EXPRESS CONSENT FOR TRANSFER ABROAD

I am aware that my personal data may be transferred to the following recipient groups and/or similar technology service providers for the purpose of providing the service, and I hereby give my explicit consent in this regard:

OpenAI – AI services
Cloudflare – CDN services
MongoDB – Database services
Litespeed Technologies Inc. – Cache and queue management
AVHOS – Server and infrastructure services

I acknowledge that some of these service providers may be located abroad, and therefore my data may be transferred abroad; I am aware that such cross-border transfers are explained in the Data Protection Act Information Notice provided by AVHOS.

ARTICLE 4 – EXPRESS CONSENT REGARDING SPECIAL CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA

The content I upload to the platform or process via the platform may contain the following types of special category personal data:

Health information
Information regarding criminal convictions and security measures
Information regarding religion, denomination and beliefs
Biometric data

Other data classified as special categories under the law

I hereby give my explicit consent to the processing, storage, technical processing and, where explicit consent is required, the transfer of such data to the relevant service providers, solely to the extent necessary for the performance of the service provided to me.

ARTICLE 5 – IMPORTANT DECLARATION REGARDING CLIENT AND THIRD-PARTY DATA

This declaration of consent applies solely to my own personal data.
This declaration of consent does not apply to personal data belonging to clients, opposing parties, witnesses, employees, representatives or other third parties that I upload to the platform.
With regard to data belonging to clients and third parties;

Where necessary, obtaining separate explicit consent from the relevant individuals,
The obligation to provide information under Article 10 of the Personal Data Protection Law must be fulfilled,
The existence of a valid legal basis for processing,
Personal data must be masked or anonymised,
Taking the necessary additional measures regarding special category data

is entirely my responsibility.

I am aware that all personal data must be masked/anonymised to the greatest extent possible when using the platform.

Example:

INCORRECT: “Mehmet Yıldız (TCID: 123456789)”
CORRECT: “[CLIENT_FIRST_NAME] [CLIENT_SURNAME] ([TC_ID_NUMBER])”

Consequences arising from the use of actual personal data:

Administrative fines
Criminal sanctions
Legal proceedings and claims for compensation
Professional and legal liabilities

I acknowledge that I am solely responsible for this.

I declare that, as a lawyer or user, I am aware that I may only give explicit consent on my own behalf, and that I cannot, on my own, give general consent on behalf of a client or third parties.

ARTICLE 6 – SCOPE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF MY CONSENT

I expressly accept the following:

Informed Consent: I have read, understood and been informed by the KVKK Information Notice.
Free Will: I am giving this consent of my own free will, without being under any pressure.
