Intellectual Property and Copyright Notice

This notice applies to the entire FastDocument platform, including the public site served under the fastdocument.net domain, the document collection and remote identity verification (KYC) flows running on brand-specific subdomains, and the administration panel.

This notice should be read together with the Terms of Service. ‘Brand’ means a business that is a customer of FastDocument; ‘End User’ means a person who uploads documents or verifies their identity on behalf of a Brand.

All elements that make up the platform, including but not limited to the following, belong to FastDocument or its licensors:

• The platform software, source code and database structures,
• The process designs behind document sanitisation (CDR), OCR/MRZ reading, face matching and anti-spoofing analysis, and their platform-specific implementation,
• Interface designs, visual elements, texts and public site content,
• The ‘FastDocument’ name, logo and other distinctive signs.

These elements are protected under applicable legislation, in particular Turkish Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works and Law No. 6769 on Industrial Property, as well as international treaties. Your use of the service does not grant you any ownership rights in these elements.

You are granted only a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the service in accordance with the Terms of Service. Without our written permission, the following acts are prohibited:

• Copying, reproducing, distributing or creating derivative works of the platform software, interface or content,
• Reverse engineering, decompiling or otherwise attempting to derive the structure of the software (except to the extent expressly permitted by mandatory law),
• Systematically extracting data or content from the platform by automated means (including scraping),
• Removing or obscuring copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices,
• Using the ‘FastDocument’ name or logo for commercial purposes beyond the ordinary use of the service; sublicensing or reselling the service.

All content uploaded to the platform by Brands and End Users — including documents, identity document images, selfies and liveness videos, and form responses — remains their property. FastDocument claims no ownership of this content.

By uploading content, you grant FastDocument a limited licence to process it only to the extent necessary to provide the service: hosting the content, running it through security processing (sanitisation/CDR), performing identity verification steps (OCR/MRZ reading, face matching, anti-spoofing analysis), delivering it to the relevant Brand, and deleting it at the end of the defined retention periods. This licence is not used for any other purpose.

Logos, colours and similar brand assets displayed on brand-specific pages belong to the relevant Brand; the Brand grants FastDocument a limited licence to display these assets solely for the purpose of providing the service, and warrants that it holds the necessary rights in them.

The processing of personal data is governed not by this notice but by the Privacy Policy and the KVKK / GDPR Privacy Notice; retention rules, including the automatic deletion of raw images and videos by default after a short period, are described in those documents.

The platform software includes open-source components made available under licences such as MIT and Apache (for example, scanning and OCR libraries). These components remain subject to their own licence terms, and nothing in this notice limits the rights granted to you by those open-source licences.

The use of open-source components is without prejudice to FastDocument’s rights in its own proprietary software layer and in the platform as a whole.

If you believe that content on the platform infringes your copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights, you can notify us using the contact details at the bottom of this page. Please include the following in your notice:

• A description of the work or sign allegedly infringed and information demonstrating your ownership of the rights,
• The location of the allegedly infringing content on the platform (address/URL),
• Your contact details and a statement that the notice is made in good faith and based on accurate information.

Notices are reviewed within a reasonable time; where a claim is justified, access to the relevant content may be removed or restricted, and the Brand that uploaded the content may be informed where appropriate. Liability arising from bad-faith or inaccurate notices rests with the person submitting them.

This notice is governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. The courts and enforcement offices at the place of the Company’s registered office have jurisdiction over disputes arising from this notice.

We may update this notice from time to time; the current version is published on this page together with the date shown at the top. For any questions, you can use the contact details at the bottom of this page.
