Özet:

 Article 18 of the Law on the Protection of Personal Data regulates, under the heading of misdemeanors, the administrative fines to be imposed on those who fail to fulfill their data protection obligations. In this article, the lower and upper limits of the administrative fines to be imposed on those who do not fulfill their obligations are determined. However, in paragraph 2 of the same article, it is stated that the addressee of the administrative sanctions will be the data controller or natural persons who process data and private legal entities. In paragraph 4 of the Article, it is stated that if the data breach is committed by the administration, disciplinary provisions will be applied to civil servants and other public officials engaged in administrative activities. In this study, the preference of the legislator not to impose administrative fines against the administration that does not fulfill its data protection obligation will be questioned. The appropriateness of this preference in terms of data protection culture and effective and efficient sanctions that should serve this culture will be discussed. International instruments on the protection of personal data and the practices of various countries will shed light on this research.

 Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanununun 18inci maddesinde, kabahatler başlığı altında, veri koruma yükümlülüğünü yerine getirmeyenlere uygulanacak idari para cezaları düzenlenmektedir. Bu maddede söz konusu yükümlülüğünü yerine getirmeyenlere uygulanacak olan idari para cezalarının alt ve üst sınırlarını belirlenmiştir. Fakat aynı maddenin 2nci fıkrasında bahsi geçen idari yaptırımların muhatabının veri sorumlusu veya veri işleyen gerçek kişiler ile özel hukuk tüzel kişileri olacağı ifade edilmiştir. Maddenin 4üncü fıkrasında ise veri ihlalinde bulunanın idare olması halinde, idari faaliyette bulunan memurlar ve diğer kamu görevlileri hakkında disiplin hükümlerinin uygulanacağı belirtilmiştir. Bu çalışmada kanun koyucunun veri koruma yükümlülüğünü yerine getirmeyen idareye karşı idari para cezası uygulanmaması yönündeki tercihi sorgulanacaktır. Söz konusu tercihin veri koruma kültürü ve bu kültüre hizmet etmesi gereken etkin ve etkili yaptırımlar açısından yerindeliği ele alınacaktır. Bu araştırmaya kişisel verilerin korunmasına yönelik uluslararası belgeler ve çeşitli ülke uygulamaları ışık tutacaktır.
