Manage data as trust, not a burden.
In KVKK and GDPR compliance; from data inventories to privacy notices, from VERBİS registration to data breach management, we design your personal data processes to be both legally compliant and aligned with your operational reality.
Compliance is the foundation of digital trust
The processing of personal data concerns a fundamental right of everyone, from customers to employees. KVKK and Europe's GDPR impose obligations of transparency, security, and accountability. Non-compliance means high administrative fines and reputational damage.
Taking Turkish KVKK and EU GDPR together, we map your data processes, prepare your legal documents, and place cross-border data transfers — particularly those between Türkiye and Germany — on a secure footing.

No. Explicit consent is only one of the legal bases for processing; in situations such as the performance of a contract, a legal obligation, or a legitimate interest, consent is not required. Obtaining unnecessary consent weakens your processes. By determining the correct legal basis for each activity, we strengthen the structure.
Yes. Almost every business that processes employee, customer, or supplier data is subject to KVKK (Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law) obligations in its capacity as data controller. Privacy notices, security measures, data retention and destruction, and, where required, registration with VERBİS (the Turkish data controllers' registry) are mandatory. Non-compliance leads to serious administrative fines.
The obligation to register with VERBİS (the Turkish data controllers' registry) depends on criteria such as the number of employees, the annual financial balance sheet, and the nature of the activity. Some data controllers fall within an exemption. We assess your situation, carry out the process where registration is required, and, where it is not, document that fact.
In the event of a breach, notification must be made to the Personal Data Protection Board and to the affected data subjects as soon as possible. What is decisive is a prepared response, not panic. We prepare a breach response plan in advance and, when a breach occurs, manage the notification and defence processes to minimise any potential fine.
Transferring data abroad is possible provided the conditions set out by the KVKK (Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law) — adequate protection, a written undertaking, or other mechanisms — are met. For intra-group transfers, we establish the appropriate legal basis and contractual safeguards and bring the transfer into compliance with the legislation.
