  • Fulfilling the KVKK duty to inform
  • Managing panel access permissions
  • VERBİS notification (if required)

9. Unmasked Report Export

Critical Clause

"Exporting unmasked reports is a feature deliberately enabled by the Tenant. All legal liability arising from the use, storage and sharing of these reports with third parties belongs to the Tenant."

By default, all reports (CSV, Excel, PDF) contain personal data masked. The unmasked report feature can only be enabled by users with the Tenant Owner/Admin role, with explicit consent. Every unmasked report export is recorded in the audit log.

Captivo may use the following sub-processors to provide the service:

Rights supported through the platform:
