In April 2023, in two separate judgments, the Constitutional Court clarified the interpretation of some provisions in Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection ("PDP Law"), i.e., provisions on personal or household processing of personal data and on the limitations of a data subject's rights in relation to national security and defense.
The judgments were rendered following two applications for a constitutional review of the PDP Law, specifically the above provisions, which were filed by individuals in October 2022 ("First Case") and November 2022 ("Second Case"). The applications requested that the Constitutional Court declare the relevant articles in the PDP Law to be unconstitutional. However, the applications were fully rejected, and therefore the relevant articles remain valid without any change.
