Whether lawyers can be regarded as falling within the exemption in Article 28/1-d of Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK) 3. The obligation to inform and the duty of confidentiality 4. The inclusion of personal data in the pleadings that lawyers submit to the case file 5. The sending of attachment notices to relatives of the debtor.
