Personal Data Protection: Its Importance and Our Consultancy Services

In today's world, with the rapid advancement of technology, the protection of personal data has become a critical issue for both individuals and businesses. Personal data includes any information that can identify or make an individual identifiable. Therefore, personal data protection is crucial in ensuring individuals' privacy and creating a secure digital environment.

Legal Framework for Personal Data Protection

Legal regulations related to personal data protection have been created to safeguard individuals' rights and define the responsibilities of organizations processing data. In Turkey, the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) establishes the framework for the processing, storage, and protection of personal data. In the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets the standards for personal data protection.
