The protection of personal data has become a strategic consideration not only from a legal compliance perspective, but also in terms of corporate governance, data security, and reputation management. We advise data controllers and data processors on compliance with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (“KVKK”) and related legislation, helping clients manage legal risks and structure their data processing activities in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
As part of data protection compliance projects, we assist clients in analysing data processing activities, preparing personal data inventories, implementing transparency and notice obligations, establishing consent mechanisms where required, and assessing data retention practices. We also provide legal support in the preparation and review of privacy notices, cookie policies, internal policies and procedures, and other compliance documentation tailored to the specific needs of each organisation.
Data security obligations, VERBIS registration processes, domestic and cross-border data transfers, and the management of data breaches remain among the most significant issues faced by organisations. In this context, we advise on the implementation of technical and organisational measures, the structuring of data transfer mechanisms, the management of data breach notification processes, and proceedings before the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority and Board.
Our approach extends beyond regulatory compliance. We focus on helping organisations embed a sustainable culture of data protection, identify potential risks at an early stage, and establish effective compliance frameworks. Through this approach, we provide practical and commercially informed solutions that support our clients’ data security, corporate reputation, and compliance objectives.
