Data Protection Law and Compliance

With the introduction of the Data Protection Act numbered 6698, protecting individuals’ personal data has become a compliance issue that needs to be dealt with elaborately to avoid administrative fines of up to 1.966.862,00 TRY* imposed by the Personal Data Protection Board of Turkey. For those organizations operating internationally, compliance becomes more complicated as numerous data protection acts and supervisory authorities will be involved in addition to the Data Protection Act numbered 6698 and Personal Data Protection of Turkey. Kesikli Law Firm is ready to assist your business, together with its technical/technological cooperation partners, to avoid or minimize the risk of non-compliance and the resultant fines.
