An analyze of the new Turkish code on the protection of personal data NR. 6698 regarding big data and freedom of will

The concept of Big Data, which describes the continuous rise of data volumes and new technological possibiities regarding the analysis and economic exploitation of the collected data, brings along many challenges from the perspective of law. Although our civil law system is based upon the principle of free will, the mentioned developments raise the question of whether free will still exists or not. In this context, the aim of this paper is to analyze whether the new Code on Data Protection Nr. 6698 is able to safeguard free will against possible "threats" of Big Data.
