There are limits to auditing in e-mail

In the principle decision published in the Official Gazette, it was emphasized that the fact that communication tools belong to the employer does not give unlimited control authority. KVKK said, "The fact that the communication tools belong to the employer or are present at the workplace does not alone grant the employer unlimited and absolute control authority."

The employer will have to inform the employee in advance about the prohibitions and limits regarding private use. The scope of the audit, under what circumstances the content will be accessed and how long the data will be stored will also be explained to the employee. Content auditing can only be done in exceptional cases where access is mandatory. Secret monitoring and methods that indiscriminately record all employee transactions will be considered unlawful.
