Privacy policy

Last updated: 3 June 2026

This policy applies to the Pollen mobile app and the trypollen.app website. It is provided for information under Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (“KVKK”).

1. Data controller

Your personal data is processed by the data controller operating the Pollen service. Contact: kvkk@trypollen.app

2. What data do we process?

3. Purposes of processing

4. Legal grounds (KVKK arts. 5–6)

Your data may be processed for the establishment and performance of a contract, legal obligation, legitimate interest and explicit consent. Location data is explicitly requested in-app for the discovery service.

5. Location data

Pollen needs location permission to show the local feed and map around you. Your exact address is not shared with other users; only approximate distance and a position on the map are used. You can turn off location permission anytime in device settings; feed and discovery features may then not work.

6. Sharing and transfers

Where a transfer abroad is involved, safeguards compliant with KVKK art. 9 (contracts, explicit consent, etc.) are applied.

7. Retention

Data is retained for the duration of the service and for statutory limitation / legitimate-interest periods. When an account is deleted, data is erased or anonymised within a reasonable time, except where legally required.

8. Your rights

Under KVKK art. 11 you may:

For requests: kvkk@trypollen.app — identity verification may be required. You may also file a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Authority.

9. Security

Technical and administrative measures are applied to protect data; no system is 100% secure. Please report suspicious situations to our support team.

10. Children

Pollen is for ages 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

11. Changes

This policy may be updated; significant changes are announced via the app or website. Current version: trypollen.app/privacy.html
