İkiz Dönüşümün Işığında Veri Güvenliği: Yeşil ve Dijital Dönüşümde Artan Veri Yükü ve Mahremiyet Riskleri

Öz

Yeşil ve dijital dönüşümün eşzamanlı yükselişi, ekonomik ve çevresel süreçlerde büyük veri üretimini artırmakta, bu da kişisel verilerin korunması açısından yeni riskler ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışma, ikiz dönüşümün veri ekosistemini, sürdürülebilirlik raporlaması, MRV sistemleri, Nesnelerin İnterneti tabanlı izleme ve yapay zekâ uygulamaları ekseninde incelemektedir. Literatür taraması ve kurumsal politika analizleri temel alınarak, birey, firma ve devlet düzeyinde ortaya çıkan yeni kişisel veri türleri ve mahremiyet riskleri belirlenmiştir. Bulgular, veri anonimleştirme ve minimizasyonu uygulamalarının yetersiz kaldığını, mevcut hukuki çerçevenin ise ikiz dönüşümle uyumlu politikaları henüz yeterince kapsamadığını göstermektedir. Çalışma, Türkiye özelinde veri koruma ve sürdürülebilirlik politikalarının entegrasyonu için stratejik öneriler sunmakta ve gelecekte yapılacak araştırmalar için yön göstermektedir.

Data Security in the Light of the Twin Transition: Increasing Data Load and Privacy Risks in Green and Digital Transformation

Öz

The simultaneous rise of green and digital transformation has increased the generation of large-scale data in economic and environmental processes, creating new risks for personal data protection. This study examines the data ecosystem of the twin transition, focusing on sustainability reporting, MRV systems, IoT-based monitoring, and artificial intelligence applications. Based on a literature review and institutional policy analysis, new types of personal data and privacy risks emerging at the individual, firm, and state levels are identified. The findings indicate that current anonymization and data minimization practices are insufficient, and existing legal frameworks do not yet fully address policies compatible with the twin transition. The study provides strategic recommendations for integrating data protection and sustainability policies in Türkiye and offers guidance for future research in this field.
