Digital Transformation Guide and KVKK Policies Published

Our university continues its work in the areas of digital transformation and corporate data governance. In this context, the Digital Transformation Guide, Policy on the Protection and Processing of Personal Data and the Policy on the Retention and Disposal of Personal Data, prepared within this scope, entered into force with the Senate Decision dated 25.12.2025. These documents, which address our university's regulatory compliance, corporate governance, and digitalization processes with a holistic approach, aim to create a sustainable and secure digital ecosystem.

A guiding manual for all stakeholders involved in digital transformation
The Digital Transformation Guide aims to provide a common framework for digital transformation initiatives currently underway or planned in areas such as governance, education and training, research and development, and social contribution. The guide's core components include the digitization of institutional processes, treating data as a strategic asset, information security, data governance, a user-centered service approach, and sustainability principles. 

The guide aims to develop a common language and understanding across the university, establish standards, and ensure that digital transformation activities are carried out with a holistic approach. It also serves as a guiding resource for all stakeholders involved in the digital transformation process.
