KVKK

The purpose of Law No. 6698 is to protect the privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals in the processing of personal data and to regulate the obligations of legal entities that process personal data and the procedures and principles they must comply with.

The Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) imposes certain responsibilities on public and private sector organizations regarding the processing of personal data. The PPL numbered 6698, which entered into force in our country in 2016, explains the rules and principles regarding how and under which conditions personal data will be processed. Within this framework, organizations must follow the procedures in the PPL in cases such as creating, storing, moving, changing or reorganizing, categorizing, deleting or eliminating this data. Since every organization, regardless of its size, sector, number of employees, product and service range, has to manage a certain volume of personal data, we can say that almost every organization falls within the scope of the PPL. In this context, organizations need to make their personal data management systems compliant with the PPL. In this process, receiving PPL compliance consultancy service from Taksim Consulting will provide a much faster and easier adaptation process for all organizations.

 

Scope of KVKK Compliance Consultancy

 

The scope of the KVKK is quite broad and defines important responsibilities and duties for all organizations. In line with this, companies must make significant changes to their data management systems and authorize certain individuals for the relevant functions of this system. For example, the definitions of data controller and contact person in the KVKK must be understood correctly and, when necessary, the process must be carried out by granting these individuals authorities and responsibilities in accordance with the law. Similarly, there are studies that need to be done regarding VERBIS (Data Controllers Registry Information System). According to the KVKK, organizations must register the individuals they have appointed as data controllers through this system and enter certain information required by the system. Since the data management system introduced by the law works with both digital and written documents, organizations need to prepare many important documents and carry out transactions in both formats. The KVKK compliance consultancy service provides the necessary guidance and direction for all these studies to be carried out quickly, accurately and sustainably.

 

Why is KVKK Important?

Proper management of personal data is a subject that is being focused on all over the world today. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), recently published by the European Union, has been a very important development in this regard and has also constituted a situation for other countries. KVKK has also been the reflection of this awareness in the world in our country and has given very important responsibilities to organizations for personal data management. In fact, the Personal Data Protection Authority has been established directly under the Presidency in this regard and has been asked to follow the practices and developments related to KVKK. In this way, an important framework has been drawn and a sustainable roadmap has been published regarding the conditions under which personal data, defined in the law as “any information related to identified or identifiable natural persons”, will be processed. Institutions should also organize their activities in accordance with this law within the scope of KVKK compliance consultancy as a corporate sustainability requirement.
