The scope of Law No. 6698 (Turkish Personal Data Protection Law) covers all activities related to the processing of personal data belonging to natural persons. It applies to both data controllers and data processors, whether they are public institutions or private entities, as long as the data is processed wholly or partly by automated means or through non-automated means forming part of a data filing system. The law governs all stages of data processing, including collection, storage, use, transfer, and deletion, ensuring compliance with the principles of legality, transparency, and data minimization.
