Our team of lawyer has an expertise and experience rare in Turkey, because our team include a professor having drafted the Law on the Protection of Personal Data and our lawyers have practiced compliance audits for major companies in Turkey.
According to the very recent Law on the Protection of Personal Data, any company that holds any kind of data of its clients and/or employees and/or commercial partners, shall mandatorily comply with this law.
If local or foreign companies do not fulfill (even partly) with those obligations, their management is facing prison sentences and the company may be subject to administrative fines (up to 300.000€) that are to be published in a major newsletter, harming the trademark of the company.
Those risks are being accurate and actual, we provide audit and compliance programs to our clients.
We propose Data Protection Compliance Programs, to audit companies, their data storage procedures, to analyze whether the data are obtained and stored and processed in compliance with the Law.
At the end of this audit, we establish a “legal opinion of compliance”, drafted under our professional liabilities, certifying that the company is in compliance with the provisions of the Protection of Personal Data Act, related Regulations, Protection of Individuals Against Automatic Processing of Personal Data, Turkish Commercial Code 6102 and Turkish Penal Code No. 5237.
