# 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.
