We do not know how many times we will use the word "again", but KVKK does not consist of VERBIS. The law entered into force after being published in the Official Gazette on April 7, 2016, and it should not be forgotten that all companies, large and small, that process personal data are obliged to comply with the law.
VERBIS registration is only one of the steps and penalty items required for compliance with the Law. For this reason, the extension of the registration period will not alleviate the concerns of the companies. Since there may always be a complaint, leakage or violation, these extensions will not eliminate administrative fines and prison sentences due to the Turkish Penal Code.
