Legal Consult for International IT Agreement -- 3

Background & Context
We are a Turkey-based company that has maintained a reliable, long-term working relationship with a respected software development company in India. This collaboration has matured into a comprehensive managed service model in which the Indian team is responsible for the technical operations of our cloud infrastructure, including:

Server architecture and management (primarily on AWS)

Code optimizations and system updates

Compliance support and database operations

Our company fully owns all intellectual property, licenses, and outputs generated through this collaboration. The Indian service provider acts solely as a third-party contractor and is compensated through international freelancer platforms such as Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer.

No Turkish-origin personal data is stored or processed on Indian servers. All data—consisting of global user information from multiple countries—is securely hosted on international platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, and other globally recognized third-party infrastructure providers. The Indian service provider does not directly handle or store end-user data on local servers.
