KVKK Representation FAQs
Who needs a Representative under KVKK?
Data controllers established outside Türkiye that process personal data of individuals in Türkiye may be required to appoint a local Representative, depending on the scope and nature of their activities.
Is KVKK the same as GDPR?
While KVKK shares similarities with GDPR, it is a separate legal framework with its own requirements and supervisory authority.
Does appointing a Representative mean full compliance?
No. Representation fulfils a formal legal requirement where applicable. Substantive compliance obligations remain with your organisation.
Can one provider manage representation across multiple jurisdictions?
Separate legal mandates are required in each jurisdiction. A coordinated provider can streamline oversight across markets.
