Privacy Framework & Digital Intelligence Ethics

At Pontic Market Research, our pursuit of data insights is grounded in a rigorous commitment to individual privacy. This policy outlines how we protect your personal information while delivering world-class analytics to our global partners.

The Logic of Data Gathering

We collect information that is strictly necessary to provide our data insights and specialized consulting services. This occurs primarily when you interact with our platform, subscribe to our research briefings, or engage our team for custom market analytics projects.

Information typically includes professional identifiers such as your name, corporate email address, and job title. We also process technical data, including IP addresses and interaction logs, to optimize our digital infrastructure and ensure the security of our restricted research portals.

"In the landscape of modern intelligence, transparency is not a hurdle; it is the foundation of every high-integrity relationship we build with our global clients."

Protocols of Use

Clarifying our internal data processing standards to eliminate ambiguity regarding your professional information.

Misconception

"Research firms sell individual user profiles to advertising networks."

Our Reality

Pontic Market Research never sells your personal identifiers. Our revenue is derived from the depth of our intelligence reports, not the brokerage of user data. We use your details only to personalize your experience and deliver the specific insights you have requested.

Misconception

"Automated analytics systems access private communications."

Our Reality

Our analytics engine operates solely on structured market datasets and publicly available economic indicators. Private user interactions are encrypted and siloed, accessible only to our security audits and never ingested by our broader analytical models.

Data Defense & Transfer Limits

We maintain a strict boundary between our operational data and our research archives. Each layer of the Pontic network is subject to distinct cryptographic controls.

Data Security Centers

Shielding Your Information

Access to personal data is restricted to employees who require it to perform specific functions. We employ TLS encryption for data in transit and AES-256 standards for data at rest. Regular penetration testing ensures our defenses adapt to emergent digital threats.

Partnership Governance

When we collaborate with third-party service providers (such as cloud hosting or CRM platforms), we perform comprehensive audits of their privacy postures. These partners are contractually bound to process data only under our direct instruction and never for their own standalone marketing purposes.

Your Professional Autonomy

Under KVKK (Turkey) and international standards, you hold specific rights regarding your data. At any time, you may request:

  • Comprehensive Access: A copy of all personal data we currently hold in your profile.
  • Rectification: Immediate correction of any inaccurate or outdated information.
  • Data Erasure: The complete deletion of your records from our active databases.
  • Restriction of Processing: A temporary halt to data utilization while claims are investigated.

Privacy Resolution Center

If you have questions regarding our data practices or wish to exercise your rights, our dedicated Compliance Officer is available for direct consultation. We commit to responding to all formal inquiries within 30 working days.
