In today’s world, the growing importance of information—that is, data—and the sanctions imposed by the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority on companies whose data processing activities do not comply with the law have made personal data and data security vital concerns, particularly for commercial companies that actively process personal data. Şahin & Partners actively advises its clients, especially corporate clients, on bringing their personal data processing, retention and destruction processes into compliance with data protection legislation, including the preparation of processing, retention and destruction policies, the legal management and audit of these processes, and the training of company employees on personal data processing, retention and destruction.
