Monitoring someone’s private life, intercepting their communications or obtaining their data unlawfully is a breach under both the Personal Data Protection Law (No. 6698) and the GDPR, and in some cases an offence as well. We keep our searches on the lawful side of that line, using only sources we are entitled to use — which keeps the work ethical and keeps the findings usable as evidence, which an unlawfully obtained finding is not.
