Short answer

Proportionate, disclosed, and purpose-limited monitoring is possible; covert and unlimited monitoring is risky under both KVKK and employment law. The trio of policy + privacy notice + technical limits is essential.

Proportionate, disclosed, and purpose-limited monitoring is possible; covert and unlimited monitoring is risky under both KVKK and employment law. The trio of policy + privacy notice + technical limits is essential.

What that means in practice: advance, specific notice and a genuine proportionality assessment before any monitoring begins, with clearly private messages treated as off-limits even on company devices. The policy has to be communicated and evidenced beforehand — retrospective justification is exactly what fails.
