Personal Data Protection and Processing Policy
Last updated: 6 August 2026. Structured in line with KVKK (Law No. 6698) transparency practices and aligned with GDPR principles.
Purpose
According to Article 20 of the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey, everyone has the right to request the protection of their personal data. This right includes being informed, accessing data, requesting correction or deletion, and learning whether data is used for its intended purpose.
The Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (“KVKK”) was enacted on 07.04.2016 to protect individuals’ fundamental rights and freedoms and to regulate the obligations of persons and institutions that process personal data. Where applicable, we also observe the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Lavoisier Labs (“Company”) collects, processes, stores, and protects personal data in accordance with KVKK and other applicable legal regulations. This policy ensures transparency in fulfilling our personal-data obligations.

- Data Subject — a natural person whose personal data is processed.
- Data Controller — the person who determines the purposes and means of processing and manages the data recording system (Lavoisier Labs).
