How we handle your data
This policy explains what information SmartSkor collects, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We've kept it as plain as we can.
Who we are
SmartSkor is a financial analytics platform operated by TuneUp Fintech Finansal Teknolojileri Ltd. Şti. ("SmartSkor", "we", "us"), a company registered in İstanbul, Turkey. We provide stock and fund scoring, model portfolios, watchlists, and related analytics for the Borsa İstanbul (BIST) and U.S. markets.
This Privacy Policy applies to the SmartSkor web application and the emails we send you. It describes how we handle personal data and the rights you have under applicable law, including the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK") and, where relevant, the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").
Information we collect
We collect the following categories of information.
Information you provide
- Account details: your name, email address, and the password or third-party sign-in (such as Google) you use to authenticate.
- Profile and preferences: your language, investment style, and product settings.
- Content you create: watchlists, model portfolio selections, and messages you send to our support team or to the in-product assistant.
Information we collect automatically
- Usage data: pages viewed, features used, and actions taken within the app.
- Device and log data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and timestamps.
- Cookies and similar technologies: described under “Cookies and analytics” below.
We do not ask for or intentionally collect special categories of data (such as health or biometric data), we do not collect your brokerage credentials, and we never place trades on your behalf.
How we use your information
We use personal data to:
- Provide the Service: create and secure your account, and deliver scores, portfolios, and watchlist alerts.
- Communicate with you: send transactional and notification emails (for example, score alerts and portfolio rebalance summaries) and respond to support requests.
- Improve SmartSkor: understand how features are used, debug issues, and develop new functionality.
- Keep things safe: detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
- Meet legal obligations: comply with applicable laws and enforce our Terms of Service.
Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on the performance of our contract with you, your consent (which you can withdraw at any time), our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Service, and compliance with legal obligations.
International data transfers
SmartSkor operates in Turkey, and some of our service providers are located in other countries, including the United States and the European Union. When we transfer personal data internationally, we take steps to ensure it is protected in line with this policy and applicable law, including working with providers that offer appropriate safeguards.
How long we keep data
We keep personal data for as long as your account is active and for as long as we need it to provide the Service. After you close your account, we delete or anonymize your data within a reasonable period, unless we are required to retain it to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
How we protect your data
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure authentication. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security — but we work to protect your information and to address vulnerabilities promptly.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Delete your data, subject to legal exceptions.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Data portability, where applicable.
You can exercise many of these rights directly in the app — for example, by updating your profile or email preferences, or by closing your account. For any other request, contact us using the details below; we will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. Under the KVKK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Turkish Data Protection Authority.
Children’s privacy
SmartSkor is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or by email. Your continued use of SmartSkor after an update means you accept the revised policy.
