On October 21, 2019, on the LawUp: Law and Entrepreneurship podcast, our Managing Partner Erdem Mümtaz Hacıpaşaoğlu gave an in-depth interview on the protection of personal data.
The central thesis of the interview was clear: data protection is not merely a compliance topic; when structured correctly, it is an operational discipline that shapes both product architecture and customer trust.
Data-protection thresholds for founders
Notice, explicit consent, data minimization, retention periods and data security — the legal controls a founder must bake into the design from day one — were walked through step by step.
Sanctions and risk
The administrative fines for data-protection breaches, the reputational impact and the effect on customer trust were illustrated with practical examples.
Highlights from this interview
- Design: Embedding data protection into product architecture
