Retention of Personal Data

Without prejudice to the retention periods stipulated by the legislation, we retain personal data for the period required by the purpose of processing personal data.

In cases where we process personal data for multiple purposes, if the purposes of processing data have been eliminated or the deletion of the data upon the request of the Data Subject is not hindered by the legislation, the data is deleted, destroyed, or retained by anonymization. Legislative provisions and PDP Board decisions are complied with in the destruction, deletion or anonymization of data.

Measures we take regarding the retention of personal data

As ILO Türkiye, we build technical infrastructures and related control mechanisms for deleting, destroying and anonymising personal data; take the necessary measures to retain personal data safely; employ employees with technical expertise; develop systems for business continuity and emergency plans against possible risks and their implementation; establish security systems in accordance with the technological developments regarding the storage areas of personal data.

We raise awareness by informing our employees about the technical and administrative risks associated with the retention of personal data; in the case of cooperation with third parties for the retention of personal data, we include the provisions regarding the necessary security measures to be taken in the contracts made with the companies to which personal data is transferred, in order to protect and safely retain the personal data transferred.

Security of Personal Data

Our obligations regarding the security of personal data

We take administrative and technical measures according to technological facilities and implementation costs to:

  • Prevent the illegal processing of personal data,
  • Prevent illegal access to personal data,
  • Ensure that personal data is stored in accordance with the law.

Measures we take to prevent illegal processing of personal data

We carry out and cause the necessary inspections to be carried out within our organization; we train and inform our employees on the processing of personal data in accordance with the law; our activities are evaluated in detail in all units, as a result of which the personal data is processed,

In cases of unlawful disclosure of personal data or data leakage, we inform the PDP Board of the situation and conduct the investigations and take the measures required by the legislation. Additionally, as ILO, we employ employees with technical expertise; update and renew technical measures periodically; create access authorization procedures within our company; determine the procedures for reporting the technical measures and audit procedures; build the data recording systems used in our organization in accordance with the legislation and inspect them periodically; train and inform our employees on access to personal data and authorization, and build security systems within technological advancements in order to prevent illegal access to personal data.

Destruction of Personal Data

ILO Türkiye retains personal data for the period required for the purpose for which it is processed and for the minimum period stipulated in the legislation to which the relevant activity is subject. In this context, our company first determines whether a period is stipulated for the storage of personal data in the relevant legislation and, if so, acts in accordance with this period. If there is no legal period, personal data is retained for the period required for the purpose for which it is processed.

Destruction of personal data is the process of making personal data inaccessible and unrecoverable and reusable by anyone.

Anonymisation of personal data is to make it impossible for such data to be associated with any identified or identifiable person in any way, even if the personal data is matched with other data.

By the end of their designated retention period, personal data is destroyed in line with periodical destruction periods or the data subject’s application and through the designated data destruction methods (deletion and/or destruction and/or anonymisation).

Informing Personal Data Subjects

ILO Türkiye informs data subjects prior to processing Personal Data, in accordance with Article 10 of the Law. In this context, ILO Türkiye fulfils its Disclosure obligation in obtaining personal data. The disclosure to Data Subjects under the Disclosure obligation includes the following:

  • Identity of the data responsible or, if any, representative
  • The purpose for which the personal data will be processed
  • To whom and for what purpose the processed personal data can be transferred
  • The method and legal reason for collecting personal data

Other rights listed in Article 11 of the PDP Law.

ILO Türkiye shall provide the required information if the data subject requests information in line with Article 20 of the Constitution and Article 11 of the PDP Law.

Your Rights as Personal Data Subjects As Listed in Article 11 of the Law
