Data Security Notice

These include salted one-way password derivation, storing only hashes of session and single-use tokens, encrypted (HTTPS) connections, role-based authorisation, rate limits, logging of administrative actions and regular backups.

However, no transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is entirely risk-free. Beyond the reasonable measures available given the state of technology and implementation cost, Dotzilla cannot guarantee absolute security.

If processed personal data is obtained by others unlawfully, Dotzilla will notify the data subjects and the Personal Data Protection Board as soon as possible under KVKK Art. 12/5, take the steps needed to limit the impact and inform data subjects about measures they can take.

To keep your account safe, do not share your password, do not reuse a password from another service, and change your password and tell us if you notice anything suspicious. Dotzilla cannot be held responsible for consequences of your password becoming known to third parties through your own fault. This notice does not limit your statutory rights.
