Data Protection

With the development of technology, the need to share personal data with various people, companies, institutions and authorities for different purposes is increasing day by day. For this reason, personal data is seen as the oil of the age and becomes more valuable by time. In this respect, the right to protect personal data is guaranteed by national and international regulations.

The Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority and affiliated authorities constantly offer up-to-date decisions and legal regulations within the scope of personal data protection legislation. The Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK), the regulations and secondary legislation issued pursuant to this Law, aim to protect the personal data of natural persons. The law and secondary legislation also envisage certain responsibilities and sanctions for natural and legal persons who collect personal data, process these data and transfer them to other institutions.

In addition to the personal data protection obligations set out in Turkish law, companies located in Turkey are also required to comply with the European GDPR obligations if they also provide services in Europe. Companies related to GDPR have important obligations, and it is important for companies to get professional legal support and compliance processes on GDPR in order not to encounter a negative situation, since the sanctions applied are generally more severe than Turkish law.
