Two layers sit above the contract regardless of what it says. Any personal data in the set stays governed by KVKK/GDPR whoever “owns” the file, and in the EU a sui-generis database right can attach to the compiled data itself. So the allocation of usage rights should be read together with those overriding rights, not in isolation.
