GDPR and data
If your project processes personal data of people in the EU, we agree in writing which data we access, where it is stored and how long we keep it before work starts. Production data stays in your infrastructure whenever possible. Our own website practices are described in our privacy policy.
Rates
USD $30–70 per hour depending on the work. Projects start from $5,000. See pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Türkiye in the EU?
No. Safindra is based in Türkiye, outside the EU and EEA, so contracts and data processing terms should cover cross-border work.
Can we meet in person?
Yes, in Istanbul by appointment. Istanbul has direct flights to most European capitals.
