Companies processing personal data of customers, employees or business partners in Turkey must observe the requirements of the Turkish data protection act (KVKK). For internationally active companies, cross-border data transfers and the interaction with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) may also be relevant.
Dedeoğlu Partner helps domestic and foreign companies to structure their data processing activities on a sound legal basis and to implement the required data protection measures.
Advice and communication are available in English, German and Turkish.
