Data Protection & Compliance
Data protection affects far more than privacy notices and consent forms. It shapes how organisations collect and use personal data, manage access to it, work with service providers, respond to individuals and deal with incidents when something goes wrong.
DMG Hukuk advises businesses and organisations on Turkish data protection law, including the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK). We help clients build and maintain compliance frameworks that reflect how personal data is actually handled across their operations.
Data Protection Compliance
Designing, implementing and reviewing data protection frameworks in line with the requirements of Turkish law.
Privacy Notices & Consent
Drafting and reviewing privacy notices, consent language and other communications explaining how and why personal data is processed.
Data Mapping & Processing Records
Mapping data flows and processing activities to understand what personal data is collected, where it comes from, how it is used, who it is shared with and how long it is retained.
Data Processing & Third-Party Arrangements
Reviewing data processing arrangements with service providers, suppliers and other third parties, including the contractual terms governing their access to and use of personal data.
Internal Policies & Procedures
Developing and reviewing internal rules for data protection, retention, access, confidentiality and the handling of personal data within the organisation.
Individual Rights & Requests
Advising on the handling of requests from individuals concerning access to, correction of, deletion of or other rights relating to their personal data.
Data Breaches & Incident Response
Advising on suspected or confirmed personal data breaches, from the initial assessment and containment of an incident to notification requirements and the steps that follow.
Ongoing Data Protection Compliance
Ongoing support as business operations, processing activities and regulatory requirements evolve.
Good data protection compliance starts with understanding what happens to personal data in practice. Documents matter, but they are effective only when they reflect the way information actually moves through an organisation and the people, systems and third parties involved.
Our work therefore begins with the underlying processing activity rather than the paperwork alone. From there, we help clients put in place proportionate legal and organisational measures that can be maintained as their operations change.
