The
general principles of data processing are regulated under Art. 4 of the Law on
the Protection of Personal Data numbered 6698. . In accordance with this
provision, in processing of personal data, it is mandatory to comply with these
principles, which are lawfulness and conformity with rules of bona fides,
accuracy and being up to date, where necessary, being processed for specific,
explicit and legitimate purposes being relevant with, limited to and
proportionate to the purposes for which they are processed, being retained for
the period of time stipulated by relevant legislation or the purpose for which
they are processed. Each of these general principles has equal importance and
all are closely related to each other. Some of these principles are based on
others. It is necessary to consider general provisions regarding processing of
personal data in terms of compliance with all legislations within the context
of personal data protection. In this sense, the general principles constitute
the baseline of compliance to the data protection legislation. In this study,
the European Union regulations have been examined from a comparative
perspective in order to be a guide to practice of the Law on the Protection of
Personal Data
