The Turkish Data Protection Authority released the guidelines introducing new procedures and principles. While the guidelines primarily expand on existing provisions of the Turkish Data Protection Law and the Regulation on Cross-Border Transfers, our team summarized the changes in an easy-to-read alert, including the key takeaways on the Definition of Cross-Border Transfers, Fulfilling the Annexes of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and Transfers for Specific Situations. 

In light of the changes, companies that intend to engage in cross-border data transfers are advised to align their compliance efforts with the amendments made to the Turkish Data Protection Law and the provisions of the Regulation.
