Frequently asked questions
What is VERBIS in Turkey?+
VERBIS is the Turkish data controllers registry. Many controllers are required to register with VERBIS as part of their obligations under the KVKK.
Did Turkey ease cross border transfer rules?+
Yes. A 2024 amendment relaxed the previously strict transfer regime by introducing standard contractual clauses and adequacy-style mechanisms, making lawful transfers more practical.
