01Data Controller

Smart Voice Menu is operated by Bilcod Yazılım ("Bilcod"). Bilcod acts as the data controller under KVKK. Contact: info@bilcod.com

02Categories of Personal Data Processed

We process the following categories of personal data: • Identity: display name • Contact: email, optional phone • Customer transaction: order items, quantities, notes, table number, total • Marketing: opt-in marketing consent • Voice data: when the voice menu (browsing and ordering) is used, spoken commands are converted to text in real time; audio is NEVER stored, only the transcript is kept for 90 days. When voice confirmation is used, the transcript of the confirmation statement is linked to the related order as proof (subject to the same 90-day retention). If companion mode is enabled the microphone may re-open automatically after each command and closes by itself about 1 minute after your last command; if you don't start speaking, no audio is sent or stored. • Security: IP address (country only), user agent, session info • Table Session: duration of the waiter-opened table session and the staff who opened/closed it (table_sessions). Ordering is authorized within this session.
