Yes, when it is done in the right framework. A creditor investigating a debtor’s assets in order to exercise rights of enforcement and of suit is acting on a legitimate interest, and most of the work runs through legal mechanisms in any case: the enforcement office inquiries available under the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law (No. 2004) — land registry, vehicle and bank searches — together with trade registry and MERSİS records and the court and enforcement files. Once proceedings have been started, the debtor also comes under a duty to declare their assets.
The line begins where personal or sensitive data is obtained without authority. Covertly acquiring someone’s bank movements, or monitoring their communications, is a breach of the Personal Data Protection Law (No. 6698) and in some cases an offence. We keep the search on that legitimate footing, which is what keeps the findings lawful and leaves them usable as evidence in the enforcement file and in court.
