Within the framework of cooperation with EU countries regarding the protection of personal data, and in accordance with EU legislation, Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data has been published and is now in effect. This law, which sets out the procedures and principles that real and legal entities must follow to protect personal data, is binding on all European Union countries and all countries, institutions, and organizations that cooperate with these countries. It will come into effect on May 25, 2018. "FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS WILL BE PROTECTED." An informational meeting was held at the Alanya Culture Center (AKM) regarding this very important issue, which may result in significant financial penalties. During the meeting, Mustafa Erbilli, Head of Department at the Personal Data Protection Authority, stated that the protection of personal information is an individual right and is constitutionally guaranteed. He said, "The purpose here is not to prevent the storage of personal data or to restrict commercial activities, but to protect fundamental rights and freedoms. Those responsible for storing customer information must take all necessary precautions. Penalties will be applied to individuals or organizations that do not show sensitivity to this issue." The meeting was attended by Osman Ayık, President of the Turkish Hoteliers Federation (TÜROFED), Burhan Sili, Member of the Board of Directors of TÜROFED and President of the Alanya Tourism Operators Association (ALTİD), and many business managers and IT personnel.
