First assessment
Identify which data is processed, by whom and for what purpose. Address a proper request to the controller first; the response process matters before a complaint to the authority.
Identify the data and controller
Specify the account, record or processing for which access, correction or deletion is sought. The controller may differ from a technical service provider. Provide only identity details needed for verification and keep proof of request and response before considering a complaint.
Is a privacy notice the same as consent?
No. A notice informs people about processing. Consent is a possible legal basis when appropriate; acknowledging a notice does not itself authorise every use of personal data.
Does having a KVKK notice ensure compliance?
Notices must reflect actual processing. Data collected, purposes, access, retention and transfers need review together. One text cannot fulfil all technical and organisational responsibilities.
Does using a host or cloud provider transfer all KVKK responsibility to it?
No. The party determining the purposes and means of processing may remain the controller; a provider acting on instructions may be a processor. Roles depend on the contract and actual processing, and security, transfers and incident handling must be addressed.
Which records should you start with?
Gather the contract, notices, payments and correspondence in date order. Identify the other party and state the exact outcome sought. Do not calculate deadlines from general web guidance alone; the document date and type of proceeding both matter.
