In 2016, with the approval of Convention No. 108 for the first time in Turkey and the adoption of the Law on the Protection of Personal Data we started to celebrate Data Protection Day.
Every year, we look forward to Data Protection Day which is celebrated on January 28th. Celebrated with numerous events in the world and in Turkey, this day is also an occasion to raise awareness in terms of personal data protection and data security.
