Privacy Policy

Introduction and who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how ANC Group Ltd ("we", "our") collects and uses personal data when you visit https://hotstuffenergy.com, the website for the Hot Stuff Energy Drink brand. ANC Group Ltd is based in Istanbul, Turkey.

For any privacy question or request, contact us at info@ancgroupltd.com or by post at Koza Mah. 1638 Sok. Acelya Sitesi B Blok No:5J K:8 D:41, 34538 Esenyurt, Istanbul, Turkey.

Information we collect

We only collect the information we need to run the website and to answer business enquiries. This includes:

• Enquiry form: name, email, phone, company, country, message and the enquiry type (general enquiry or becoming a distributor).
• Newsletter: your email address when you subscribe.
• Technical data: IP address, browser and device type, and pages visited, collected through server logs and, if enabled, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager.
• Security cookies: a session cookie used for form security (CSRF protection) and spam protection.
• Third-party services: Google reCAPTCHA on our forms, Google Translate for page translation, Google Fonts and other CDN-hosted libraries, and a WhatsApp chat link (a chat started through it happens on WhatsApp, governed by WhatsApp's own terms).

How we use information and legal basis

We use personal data to:

• answer your enquiry and follow up on the business relationship;
• send you news about Hot Stuff if you subscribed to our newsletter;
• keep the website secure and prevent spam and abuse;
• understand how the website is used so we can improve it, where analytics are enabled;
• comply with legal obligations.

Our legal basis, where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, is our legitimate interest in running a B2B website and answering business enquiries, the performance of a contract or steps prior to a contract when we discuss a supply arrangement, your consent where you subscribed to the newsletter or accepted non-essential cookies, and compliance with legal obligations. Where Turkish KVKK applies, we rely on the corresponding legal grounds under that law.

Cookies

The website uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies:

• Session / security cookie: required for form security (CSRF protection) and spam protection. It is not used for marketing.
• Analytics cookies: set by Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager only if these services are enabled for the site.
• Google Translate cookie (googtrans): remembers your chosen page language.
• reCAPTCHA cookies: set by Google reCAPTCHA on our forms to help prevent spam.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some parts of the website (such as the forms) may not work as expected.

Third-party services

• Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager: help us understand website usage, only when enabled.
• Google reCAPTCHA: protects our forms from spam. See Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
• Google Translate: translates pages into your chosen language.
• Google Fonts and other CDN libraries: provide the fonts and front-end assets used to display the website.
• WhatsApp: if you use the chat link, the chat is governed by WhatsApp's own terms and privacy policy.
• Hosting: the website is hosted on Hostinger, which processes technical data (such as server logs) on our behalf.

Sharing of information

We do not sell personal data. We may share data with service providers who process it on our behalf — hosting, email, analytics and spam protection — and where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

International transfers

We are based in Türkiye and work with an international audience (including the UK, EU, Middle East and Asia). Some of our service providers may process data outside your country. Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses for such transfers.

Data retention

Enquiries are kept as long as needed for the business relationship and for legal obligations. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.

Your rights

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR or Turkish KVKK applies, you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• ask us to correct inaccurate data;
• ask us to delete your data;
• ask us to restrict how we use your data;
• object to our use of your data;
• withdraw your consent at any time where we relied on consent;
• complain to a supervisory authority in your country.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@ancgroupltd.com. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by emailing the same address.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including HTTPS on the website. No online system can be completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

The website is intended for business users and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other websites

Our website may link to other websites (for example ancgroupltd.com or WhatsApp). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is the one published on this page. Last updated: October 2026.
