To be honest, protection of our personal data has never been a
priority for us Turkish people. We have a very warm culture. We
like the physical touch and deeply embrace in each other's
lives. In other countries, this might be considered noisy but with
the folks in Turkey, it is considered caring for each other.
When you go to a job interview, for example, people would ask
you in which city you were born or the origins of your family, the
professions of your family members, whether you live with your
family or alone, whether you are married or not, and if you are a
woman, even whether you are planning to get married or have kids
soon. I know, I know it is crazy! But this has been our normal for
so many years.
