A Precedent Decision Has Been Taken for Cryptocurrency Users in Turkey



The Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK) has decided that identity and photo information processed by cryptocurrency service providers fall within the scope of the Law on the Prevention of Laundering Proceeds of Crime.

According to the decision taken by the KVKK, a person who is a member of a crypto money platform requested to increase the membership level on the platform. The platform, which is in the position of data controller, asked for a photo of the front and back of the person's identity and a passport photo.

Arguing that more personal data was requested from him than necessary, the person applied to the KVKK for an examination and deletion of his data within the scope of the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698.

Referring to the obligation of cryptocurrency companies to process personal data in line with the Law No. 5549 on the Prevention of Laundering Proceeds of Crime, KVKK decided that it is appropriate to process the data.

While it was stated that personal data was processed in order to determine that it was made by the user, it was announced that no action would be taken on the request for the deletion of personal data.
