Privacy Framework 2026

Data Integrity as a Foundational Asset.

At Levant Data Research, we believe that high-fidelity analytics and individual privacy are not mutually exclusive. Our commitment to transparency ensures that every byte of intelligence we generate remains anchored in ethical stewardship.

The Information Spectrum

Privacy isn't a toggle; it's a careful balance between the utility of data insights and the necessity of protection. We categorize the information we handle into three distinct tiers to ensure appropriate security measures are applied at every stage of research.

Research workspace

Public Intelligence

Non-identifiable market trends and macro-economic indicators gathered through open-source analytics. This data is used to contextualize regional shifts in Istanbul and beyond without ever touching individual identities.

Engagement Data

When you interact with LevantDataResearch.digital, we collect basic contact details (Name, Email, Phone) via our forms. This is strictly for service delivery and professional communication, never for third-party brokerage.

Technical Meta-Data

Log files, IP addresses, and browser details help us optimize the platform's performance. For a deeper look at tracking technology, please visit our Cookie Policy.

Governance Protocols

Protocol 01

Anonymization First

Before any dataset enters our research pipeline, we strip personal identifiers. Our internal analytics prioritize patterns over people, ensuring that the "what" and the "why" are understood without compromising the "who."

Protocol 02

Zero-Sale Guarantee

Levant Data Research does not trade, rent, or sell user information to marketers. Our revenue is derived from scholarly data insights, not the liquidation of your personal privacy.

Protocol 03

Retention Limits

We don't believe in data hoarding. We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected—whether that is fulfilling a research request or maintaining legal archives for tax compliance.

Protocol 04

Istanbul Hosting

While our research spans the globe, our administrative footprint is anchored in Istanbul. We comply with local KVKK regulations alongside international best practices to ensure a baseline of high-standard security.

Data security infrastructure

Your Rights & Recourse

Privacy is an active right, not a passive status. You have full command over how Levant Data Research manages your personal details. Whether you are browsing from Turkey or internationally, these rights are core to our service model.

"Transparency is the only sustainable business model in the age of big data."

Technical Disclosures

Our platform utilizes specific third-party sub-processors to maintain high-speed delivery of research reports and real-time analytics dashboards. These partners are selected based on their compliance with SOC 2 or equivalent frameworks. We currently collaborate with cloud infrastructure providers in the EU-West region to ensure low-latency access for our Mediterranean stakeholders while maintaining strict territorial data boundaries.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under European and Turkish law, we process data based on Contractual Necessity (to deliver purchased services), Legitimate Interest (to protect our platform from cyber threats), and Explicit Consent (for marketing communications).

Levant Data Research reserves the right to update this policy as international regulations evolve. Major changes will be communicated via email to registered clients 30 days prior to implementation. Your continued use of the platform constitutes adherence to the updated protocols.
