Right to erasure

In Turkish: Silinmesini isteme hakkı

Your right, in the cases the law allows, to ask a company to delete or destroy the personal data it holds about you.

Asking for deletion does not always succeed. A company may keep data it is required to keep, for example for accounting or legal duties. But when there is no good reason to keep your data, you can ask for it to be removed.

Under KVKK the request goes to the company that controls the data. Deleting your account in the app is a good first step, but it does not always remove everything, so a written request is stronger.

What to do

  1. Delete accounts you no longer use, then send a written request to be sure the data is gone.
  2. Say exactly which data and which account you mean.
  3. Use the MyDefense request tools if you want help drafting it.
