Therefore, we are constantly reviewing our data processing activities and revising our policies in accordance with the applicable legislation in our present markets. This Privacy & Cookie Policy and Data Processing Principles (“Privacy Policy”) at our company website (“Website”) are written and will be regularly reviewed in accordance with general data protection legislations in your jurisdiction and with General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and applies to all Websites, apps, events and to any other services owned and operated by the Company.
1. Data Processing Principles a. Information Automatically Collected. When you access our Websites, we and our possible third party partners automatically record information from your device and its software, such as your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, platform type, the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave our website, date and time stamp and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your account. When you access our Services using a mobile device, we may also receive or collect identification numbers associated with your device (such as a unique device ID, IDFA, Google AdID), device type, model and manufacturer, mobile device operating system brand and model, phone number, email address, and other apps that you have downloaded ("Technical Data"). b. Location Data. We do not currently collect your precise geolocation or any latitude or longitude coordinates for you. Some of the information we collect, for example an IP address, can sometimes be used to approximate a device’s location. In some cases, we assign the latitude and longitude of the centre of a city or state on record for you to your profile as a way to improve our analytics and offer best matches for you. This is a general latitude and longitude and does not correspond to your real time or historical location specifically. c. Information Provided by Others. We may link or combine the personal data we collect about you and the information we collect automatically. This allows us to provide you with a personalised experience regardless of how you interact with us. d. Anonymization. We may anonymise and aggregate any of the personal data we collect (so that it does not directly identify you). We may use anonymised information for our business purposes including testing our IT systems, research, data analysis, improving our services and developing new products and features. We may also share such anonymised information with others.
Where you do not provide the personal data, we may not be able to provide you the related services; as it may depend on this information. 2. How We Collect and Use Your Data The main reason we use your information is to deliver what we offer and constantly improve our services. Additionally, we use your information to help keep you safe and to provide you with advertising that may be of interest to you. Generally, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances: Where you have given consent for us to use your personal data, for the stated purposes like; marketing, sales and any sort of informative reasons Job applications directly from our Websites and/or via company e-mail accounts and any sort of communication deriving from contact forms or written enquiries Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligations.

Welcome to Happy-Nes, where we believe in creating happiness from the simple things in life. Our story began in 2014 when Nesligul and Ilan Karaso, a Turkish couple with a deep passion for creativity, embarked on a life-changing kite surfing trip to the enchanting Philippines and Zanzibar. Little did they know that this adventure would lay the foundation for a remarkable business venture.
Surrounded by breathtaking sunsets and the exhilarating rush of the wind, Nesligul and Ilan found themselves captivated by the simple and laid-back lifestyle embraced by the people they met on their journey. Inspired by the vibrant cultures, diverse traditions, tantalizing food, turquoise-colored seas, and the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the caravan culture, they were filled with a sense of wonder and awe.
It was during these transformative experiences that the seeds of Happy-Nes were sown. Drawing inspiration from their extensive travels to tropical islands in Africa and Asia for kite surfing, Nesligul and Ilan decided to blend these cultural influences with everyday products to create something truly extraordinary. They sought to infuse joy, color, and style into the most basic items of our everyday lives.
