Legal requirement
How does the Data Protection Officer role work under Turkish law?
Turkish law does not establish a general statutory Data Protection Officer role identical to GDPR Articles 37–39. The applicable duties remain with the data controller, while a compliance adviser can support the organisation in meeting them.
Data controllers remain responsible for complying with Law No. 6698, including transparency, security, data-subject rights, and applicable response duties.
Controllers subject to registration must maintain the required processing inventory and keep VERBİS information accurate and current, subject to applicable exemptions.
A controller not established in Turkey may need to designate a Turkey-based data controller representative for registry and authority communications.
The need for VERBİS registration, a representative, and particular documentation depends on the controller’s establishment, activities, and applicable Board rules.

Frequently asked questions
Turkey Data Protection Officer questions
Is a Turkey Data Protection Officer legally required for every company?
No. Law No. 6698 does not impose a general EU-style Data Protection Officer appointment on every company. Organisations should instead assess their controller obligations, VERBİS status, any representative requirement, and the practical need for dedicated compliance advice.
What does the Turkey Data Protection Officer product include?
This product includes KVKK compliance advice, privacy-documentation support, data-inventory and VERBİS guidance, and compliance-response support. Package capacity and response targets are shown in the pricing section.
Is this the same as a data controller representative?
No. A data controller representative is a defined role for certain controllers not established in Turkey. This landing page selects the KVKK compliance-adviser product; representation can be assessed and ordered separately where required.
How quickly can the appointment begin?
Onboarding can begin after checkout and completion of the required company and processing intake. The formal start date depends on the scope review, any conflict checks, and the documentation needed for the selected role.
What information is required during onboarding?
We normally ask for your company details, processing activities, locations, existing privacy documentation, key contacts, and any current regulatory or data-subject matters. The exact intake is adjusted to the package and legal framework.
What is included in each package?
Every package includes the selected appointment or advisory product and its core scope. Package differences are shown in the pricing cards, including company-size guidance, included case volume, response target, and available professional time.
Can the subscription be cancelled?
Billing and cancellation terms are confirmed before payment and in your engagement documentation. Contact us before ordering if you need a particular contracting or renewal arrangement.
Which authority is relevant in Turkey?
The relevant national authority is the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority. A representative or authorised team may handle communications depending on the controller’s legal position and the matter involved.
Can the compliance role be outsourced?
An organisation can obtain outsourced KVKK compliance advice and operational support. Outsourcing support does not remove the data controller’s own legal responsibility under Law No. 6698.
This page provides general information, not legal advice. Whether an appointment or another legal role is required depends on your organisation, processing activities, and applicable law. Scope and legal fit are confirmed during onboarding.
