KVKK vs. GDPR: Key Differences

Common ground and key distinctions between the two regulations.

KVKK (Turkish Personal Data Protection Law)

The Turkish Personal Data Protection Law, enacted in 2016, was inspired by the EU's GDPR. It governs the processing, protection, and disposal of personal data. Breach notification is required within 72 hours, and administrative fines can reach up to 1,000,000 TRY.

GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation)

In force since 2018, GDPR applies to all organizations that process data of EU citizens. Administrative fines can reach €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover. Appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO), conducting impact assessments, and maintaining processing records are mandatory.
