Protection of Personal Data
Protection of Personal Data
Information is one of the most important assets of modern life. Every day, government agencies and private organisations collect, store, process and transfer significant amounts of data about individuals. As technology advances, allowing individuals to share information and disseminate it around the world, it creates dangerous situations where individuals lose control of their information and it can be used against them. Protection of personal data is a right that individuals have against unauthorized use of their data by other persons or entities. With the adoption of the Law No. 6098 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK), a new era has entered in our country, and while the said Law equips citizens with certain rights against real and legal persons defined as data controllers, it also imposes certain obligations on data controllers. These obligations particularly concern the IT and human resources departments of companies.
In order to ensure compliance with the KVKK, we, as Sönmez Law Firm, provide our clients:
- Identification and analysis of the obligations that clients are subject to under the LPPD,
- Providing the necessary cooperation with IT departments during the creation of the data recording systems that clients are required to use in order to fulfill the relevant obligations and providing the necessary support in order to make the data recording systems currently in use compliant with the obligations under the KVKK,
- Preparation and/or revision of contracts that clients are required to conclude with their customers or business partners within the scope of the LPPD,
- Providing in-company awareness trainings to all relevant departments (law, HR, IT, marketing, public relations, etc.) within the Data Controller in order to ensure full compliance with the obligations under the KVKK,
