Trans-Border Data Transfers In Turkey: A Considerably Strict Regime

With employees and customers from all around the world, multinational companies need to keep the personal data they deal with safe. Due to some legal concerns and management policies, these companies tend to store the personal data they own—which is mainly related to their customers, employees, consumers and business transactions—in a centralized location where they can reach and utilize the data when in need. In addition, often the relevant data needs to be shared internally within the branches of multinational companies to provide services to international clients or to coordinate the operations of the company. Besides various methods on transferring the vast amount of data, companies frequently use cloud storage due to these necessities.
