Direct answer: The purpose, legal basis, retention period, access authorization and privacy-notice processes for plate data processing must be clearly defined.
Is a license plate personal data?
A vehicle's plate can be considered personal data under Turkey's KVKK (Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698), since it can be linked to the vehicle's owner. For this reason, the purpose, legal basis and data controller for processing plate records must be clearly established. This information is for general guidance only and does not constitute legal advice.
How is the retention period determined?
The retention period should be limited according to the purpose of processing (security, entry/exit tracking, billing) and any applicable legislation. It is recommended to define a policy for deleting or anonymizing records once that period expires.
Access and data security
Access to plate records should be restricted to authorized users only; access and modification actions should be logged, and data should be protected against unauthorized access through encryption and access control.
