Personal Data Protection Law

Law on Protection of Personal Data – Tuzla Lawyer

Today, personal data contains highly sensitive information such as individuals’ identity information, health data, genetic structure, social relationships, economic status, and religious beliefs. The protection of this data is considered a part of individuals’ right to privacy and is accepted as a fundamental human right in modern legal systems.

Especially in this era where digitalization has gained momentum, the collection, processing, and transfer of personal data have become quite easy. This situation creates serious risks regarding data security and imposes legal responsibilities on all data processing individuals and institutions, especially companies.

The most fundamental regulation in this area in Turkey is the Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK). KVKK imposes a series of obligations on real and legal persons processing data, while also granting various rights to individuals whose data is processed.
