KVKK
HR software that takes KVKK seriously.
Turkey's Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, Law No. 6698) makes your company accountable for every candidate CV and employee file you hold. Otto HR puts the notices, consents, and records where they belong — inside the hiring and onboarding flows themselves.

Why Otto
From notice to consent, inside the flow.
Aydınlatma at every intake
Candidates see the Aydınlatma Metni when they apply, new hires see the employee version in pre-boarding, and site visitors have a public visitor notice.
Açık rıza, recorded
Explicit consent — including Article 9 consent for cross-border transfer — is captured with the exact document versions accepted, at the moment data is collected.
Automatic jurisdiction check
The KVKK consent gate follows the hiring company's country and is derived again server-side on submit, so it can't be skipped by a modified client.
How it works
KVKK from application to day one.
Consent built into the application
When your company is in Turkey's jurisdiction, the job application form shows the candidate Aydınlatma Metni acknowledgment and KVKK explicit consent alongside the privacy notice — one consent box, no separate paperwork.

Employee consents before day one
The pre-employment packet gathers the employee Aydınlatma Metni acknowledgment and the Article 9 cross-border açık rıza before the new hire submits personal details — and records the accepted document versions with the packet.

KVKK-aware by design
Access is role-based and tenant isolation is enforced in the database. Person-level data is redacted before AI parsing, so features like document parsing don't create new KVKK exposure.
