KVKK CONSULTANCY (Protection of Personal Data Law No. 6698)

The Protection of Personal Data Law No. 6698 (KVKK) requires that personal data be controlled from the moment it is collected until it is deleted or destroyed. The law applies to all processes involving real and legal persons that make individuals identifiable, requiring compliance with the KVKK for businesses, companies, and institutions.

Data has become an indispensable asset for businesses in the context of KVKK Consultancy. In order for companies to ensure and maintain the continuity of their business operations, they must be able to protect and store personal data securely and permanently. Personal data encompasses a wealth of information that can identify or make individuals identifiable. Companies and institutions handle personal data regularly, processing it in various ways for operational purposes.

The Protection of Personal Data, which came into force in 2016, aims to safeguard fundamental rights and freedoms, especially the privacy of individuals’ private lives. With QIS Certification, you can receive consultancy services related to personal data protection law. All processes, from acquiring, recording, storing, modifying, transferring, disclosing, to classifying personal data, are considered as personal data processing.

Under the KVKK, all institutions that process personal data—especially in online transactions—must comply with the law. Any institution holding personal information is subject to the KVKK, and failing to comply can lead to serious penalties. If you wish to act in compliance with the law, avoid penalties, and protect your company from violations, QIS Certification is here to assist you with KVKK Consultancy.

KVKK Violations and Penalties

Violations of KVKK can result in significant penalties. Depending on the violation, companies can be fined up to one million Turkish lira, and their license may be revoked if the business requires a license. In some cases, penal sanctions may even lead to prison sentences of up to six years. Therefore, it is crucial for businesses to comply with KVKK to avoid these severe consequences.
