Consent of the Consumer in Processing Personal Data

1. Introduction

The intersection of personal data protection law with various legal fields is evident. Any interference with personal data is generally considered illegal. According to our Constitution, the primary exception for processing personal data is the explicit consent of the individual. The Law on the Protection of Personal Data No. 6698 (KVKK) provides a framework for explicit consent without considering the personal characteristics of the data subject.
