Who We Are
PerihelionSociety.org is operated by Perihelion Society. We are the data controller of personal information collected through this website and our membership processes.
What We Collect
When you visit our website, we automatically collect limited device information — including browser type, IP address, and interaction data — solely to maintain website functionality and identify potential abuse. This data is not used to identify individual users.
When you submit a form — including membership applications, event registrations, or contact requests — we may collect your name, email address, country of residence, institutional affiliation, and any additional information you voluntarily provide. Where participants are under 18, parental or guardian consent records may also be collected and stored securely.
Why We Process Your Data
We collect only what is necessary to operate the Society: processing applications, coordinating events, onboarding mentors, and maintaining member communications. We do not collect data beyond what each specific purpose requires.
How We Store and Protect It
Personal data is stored in a restricted-access digital system managed under the coordination of the Perihelion team. Access is limited to designated individuals within the Society's internal structure and granted only where operationally necessary.
We maintain reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. No internet-based transmission can be guaranteed as fully secure.
Third Parties
We do not sell, transfer, or disclose personal data to third parties. In limited cases — such as providing attendee information to a venue operator for a specific event — only the minimum necessary data is shared, solely for that operational purpose.
Our website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
Your Rights
Under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK No. 6698) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:
Be informed of what data we hold about you
Access your personal data
Request correction of inaccurate data
Request deletion of your data
Object to processing of your data
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at committee@perihelionsociety.org. We will respond in good faith within a reasonable timeframe.
Legal Disclosure
We will disclose information only where required by law — for example, to comply with a valid legal process or to protect the rights and safety of individuals involved with the Society.
Policy Updates
As Perihelion grows and its legal context evolves, this policy may be updated to reflect changes in scale, operations, or applicable law. The current version is always available at PerihelionSociety.org.
