Privacy Policy

At Dr. Tolga Ersoy's Law Firm, all personal and professional information is protected by the duty of confidentiality and professional secrecy.

In all professional activities conducted by Attorney-at-Law Dr. Tolga Ersoy, the confidentiality of personal data, as well as commercial, financial, professional, and all other sensitive information pertaining to clients, consultants, and business owners, is meticulously safeguarded under the duty of professional secrecy, which is one of the fundamental principles of the legal profession. This duty is not limited to the duration of the professional relationship; access to such information continues indefinitely in accordance with confidentiality principles even after the completion of the engagement.

All employees of the law firm and other individuals or entities collaborating with us are bound by the same ethical and legal obligations, and the sharing of any information or documents related to clients or consultants with third parties is strictly prohibited. In this context, all data acquired within the firm is processed solely as required for the provision of legal services, and all necessary technical and administrative measures are taken against unauthorized access.

Any written applications, questions, opinions, or information submitted to us through the “Contact Us” section of our website are also subject to the same principle of confidentiality, evaluated within the scope of the duty of professional secrecy, and protected indefinitely. Even if such submissions do not establish a client-attorney relationship, they are treated within this framework as the data they contain may constitute professional secrets.

Furthermore, pursuant to Article 39 of the Attorneyship Law, an attorney's duty to retain files continues for a period of three years from the finalization of the decision rendered at the conclusion of the relevant matter. However, in cases where the client is notified in writing of the return of the file, this period expires three months after the date of notification. Nevertheless, even upon the expiration of the statutory period, the confidentiality of the secrets contained within the information and documents in the file continues to be protected indefinitely.

The duty of confidentiality is not limited solely to the attorney-client relationship; it also applies to information provided by prospective clients. Even if a formal retainer agreement has not yet been established, any information and documents disclosed during initial consultations are considered confidential to the attorney and are protected accordingly. This principle has become an established practice, both in terms of professional ethics and judicial precedents.

In the legal profession, the duty of confidentiality not only serves to ensure legal security; it is also a fundamental principle for the protection of personal rights, privacy, and the voluntary statements of clients. Especially in matters handled in areas directly related to private life, such as criminal law, family law, commercial law, and labor law, information security takes on an even more sensitive dimension. Therefore, all information submitted to us, regardless of the branch of law it pertains to, is afforded equal protection.

Files, correspondence, and digital documents maintained in electronic environments are also protected according to the highest security standards; technical measures such as encryption, multi-factor authentication, firewall usage, and access control are systematically implemented in this regard. Similarly, physical storage environments for files are accessible only to authorized personnel and are subject to physical security procedures and oversight.

Legal requests directed to us are under no circumstances shared with third parties or institutions without the explicit consent of the client. This rule applies to both in-person consultations and remote communication methods such as telephone, email, video conferencing, and others. The communication capabilities brought by the digital age are supported by security measures and structured in compliance with the duty of confidentiality.

Our website has been prepared solely for the purpose of providing general legal information, and does not aim for advertising, promotion, or client solicitation in any manner. Our content is shaped within the framework of the Professional Rules of the Union of Turkish Bar Associations and the Attorneyship Law, and has been created with due regard for professional ethics and the principle of impartiality.
