Turkish Data Protection Watchdog: If You Use Gmail, You Are Transferring Personal Data Abroad
The Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority ("DPA") recently released a number of decisions that are of significance in various terms such as abuse of right to process personal data and explicit consent. Unlike the Turkish Competition Authority, the DPA is not obliged to publish its decisions, which in fact came under criticism on the ground that it contradicts with the principle of transparency.
