The real estate office is obliged to inform the property owners and other third parties it adds to the Pro app in accordance with Law No. 6698 and to have a legal basis for processing this data. The office is responsible for this obligation and for the lawfulness of the data it adds.

The contacts, notes, documents and private portfolio details a member adds belong to the member, only the member can see them and they are never shared with anyone. Videos added to a portfolio are part of the portfolio, and everyone who sees the portfolio sees them. A member may share a portfolio with a colleague in the same office; the colleague sees only the portfolio's listing information. A share ends by itself when either of them leaves the office.

The portfolios a member entered and the contacts, notes and documents the member added belong to the member and leave with the member when the member leaves the office. Exception: listings that are live on the site with an e-Devlet authorization obtained with the office's number, and listings the office imported from Sahibinden, stay with the office and pass to the office owner. The records the member added to these listings do not pass to the office; they stay read only in the member's archive for 24 months, and the member may delete them earlier. Videos are part of the portfolio and always follow it: if the portfolio leaves with the member they go with it, if it stays with the office they stay and pass to the portfolio's new owner; they never move to an archive.

The office owner may take the office's live listings off the site and archive them; only the realtor who holds a listing changes its content. The office owner does not see portfolios that are not live on the site unless the realtor shares them with the owner.
