The updated Privacy Notice now explicitly discloses Google Cloud's data controller role under Turkish law, the legal grounds for processing personal data (compliance with law, rights protection, and legitimate interests), and specific retention periods for operational data (up to 180 days, longer for legal/regulatory purposes). The notice also details user rights under Turkish KVKK law, including rights to access, correct, delete, and request compensation for unlawful processing. Users subject to Turkish data protection law can exercise these rights through Google's Privacy Help Center or via their organization's administrator.
