Data Protection & Trainings
In the last two decades, with the ever-increasing importance of customer data in marketing and the dizzying expansion of online sales, personal data and its protection has become one of the most important and prioritised legal issues globally. Whether you are a small business relying on your website and social media presence for online sales, or a company with international subsidiaries that transfers the personal data of its customers, suppliers and employees abroad, you need to be mindful of what processing personal data means for your business and what the requirements are to ensure that it complies with all the relevant laws and regulations.
We provide consultancy services to assess the data protection needs of your business and to assist you in implementing the privacy notices and policies that are legally required for the processing of personal data.
We also provide training through our group entity to individuals, businesses and their employees to introduce the relevant concepts, explain what to watch out for in processing personal data and clarify how to comply with the relevant laws and regulations such as the GDPR, the Data Protection Act and the KVKK (Turkish data protection law).
