KVKK compliance for a mobile app
Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanunu (Law No. 6698, Türkiye). This page applies it to one kind of product (mobile app), so you get the obligations that are actually yours instead of a summary of the whole statute.
Does it apply to you?
Processing personal data of people in Türkiye.
What a mobile app typically processes
- device identifiers and advertising IDs
- device permissions such as camera, location or contacts
- crash reporting and mobile analytics SDKs
- in-app purchases through the store
Each of these is processing you have to disclose. Adding an SDK later adds to this list — which is why a policy written once goes stale.
Documents you need
The intersection of what KVKK requires and what a mobile app actually does:
- Privacy policy
Rights you must honour
KVKK gives people in Türkiye the right to:
- Access a copy of their data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Have their data deleted
- Object to certain processing
- Ask for human review of an automated decision
Cookies and trackers
Nothing non-essential may load before the visitor agrees. Analytics and marketing scripts must be blocked until then — a banner that only informs is not enough.
On mobile, the store asks too
There is no cookie banner in a native app, but Apple App Privacy and Google Play Data Safety both make you declare the same processing — and a declaration that contradicts your privacy policy is the version reviewers notice. The policy has to be reachable at a public URL before you submit.
