Data Protection

With the enactment of the Law on the Protection of Personal Data No. 6698 (KVKK), the protection of personal data has taken on a role that requires much closer supervision, both for Turkish companies and for the multinational organizations they are a part of.

Our team, actively working in the field of data protection law, provides legal consultancy on a wide range of complex issues such as data collection, processing, international data transfers, and the legal and regulatory challenges posed by central databases.

In particular, the enforcement of KVKK has made the protection of personal data a matter of vital importance, necessitating fundamental changes for individuals, businesses, and institutions. Barlas & Karabucak Law Firm guides its clients through this complex area of law, offering various service packages to assist in the protection of personal data, while also carrying out studies to identify in advance the legal risks that may arise in the absence of data protection.

Reputational damage and financial loss resulting from data breaches can have devastating consequences for businesses and organizations. Violations of individuals’ right to information can severely affect both personal and professional lives. By working closely with you to understand your concerns and objectives, we identify applicable approaches and provide legal consultancy in managing potential outcomes.

Our Data Protection team helps ensure compliance with personal data legislation by offering legal solutions specifically tailored to your organization in light of applicable laws and current public authority decisions.
