Sustainable KVKK and GDPR Compliance in a Data-Driven World
Personal data protection is not a one-time project, but a living process. Every new employee, every new system integration, every new customer relationship reshapes your data protection obligations.
With 2024-2025 regulatory changes, we see the "Explicit Consent" era closing and the "Standard Contracts" era beginning. Every company using cloud services, email systems, and CRM software is now subject to new obligations for international data transfer. Rona Legal manages the entire process from VERBİS registration to GDPR compliance, data breach management to standard contract signing.
⚠️ 2025 International Data Transfer Reform
80% of companies operating in Turkey unknowingly transfer data abroad: Gmail, AWS, Azure, Salesforce, HubSpot... All these systems now require Standard Contracts.
Standard Contracts (SCCs)
Data transfer to overseas servers (Cloud/Email) now mandatorily requires signing standard contracts published by the KVKK Board.
📋 Contract modules: Distinguish between "Controller to Controller" and "Controller to Processor."
5 Business Day Rule
Signed contracts must be notified to the KVKK Board within 5 business days.
💰 2025 penalties for non-notification: ₺50,000 - ₺1,000,000
🚨 URGENT: If you're currently using Gmail or AWS and haven't signed a standard contract, you may be in violation right now!
