Computer Crime Proclamation No. 958/2016, art. 2(13), art. 2(19), art. 17, art. 27, art. 46 · Read the law's page
- Immediately notify the Information Network Security Agency (now the Information Network Security Administration) and report the crime to the police, and take appropriate measures.
- This binds a service provider, defined as a person who provides technical data-processing or communication service or alternative infrastructure to users by means of a computer system, or a government organ; the trigger is knowledge that a crime under this Proclamation is being committed, or knowledge that a third party is disseminating illegal content through the computer system you administer, which on this definition's own terms reaches an app or platform operator whose product is itself that computer system, not only a network, hosting, or telecommunications intermediary.
- The Agency may issue a directive setting the form and procedure for this report; no such directive is confirmed as a separately published text in the primary sources located here.
- No provision of this Proclamation states a separate penalty for failing this reporting duty. The Article 17 offense for failing to cooperate with an investigation lists five other, unrelated articles on data retention, real-time collection, data preservation orders, data-production orders, and search assistance, and does not include this one.

- Process a minor's personal data only with the consent or authorization of a parent, guardian, or tutor, or where necessary to the minor's vitally important interest, and never for marketing, profiling, or merging of profiles.
- Do not process sensitive personal data in respect of race or ethnic origin unless the processing ensures justice and equality with regard to race or ethnic origin and is carried out with appropriate safeguards for the data subject's rights and freedoms.
- Where an exception does permit sensitive personal data to be processed, put appropriate technical and security safeguards in place first.
- Make reasonable efforts to verify the age of a data subject, and that consent was given or authorized by the minor's parent or guardian, taking available technology into account.
