Your organization can communicate with recipients for reasons such as marketing, promotion, celebration via call, SMS, or e-mail. These deliveries require prior approval.
In accordance with the law, it is obligatory to record the information of message recipients in the Message Management System. Users who log in to the system (e.g., SMS recipients) can change their preferences on which communication channels they will be contacted. For example, users can block SMS on the system, that is, cancel receiving SMS, for unwanted SMS. They can also give SMS approval for the SMS they wish to receive. On the other hand, in the Resolution of Law No. 6698 on Protection of Personal Data, sending SMS and e-mails without the consent of the data subjects is prohibited. You can access our services on obtaining explicit consent here.

Which Messages Need Approval?
All channels through which e-messages are sent must be registered with the message management system, whereas not all of them are subject to permission. That is, while approval is required from individuals for electronic messages sent to individuals, approval is not required for e-messages sent to merchants. However, both must be reported to the IYS through the system that is separated as individual and merchant.
What Are the Deadlines to Register with
the Message Management System?
For service providers with more than 150,000 commercial electronic message approvals, the deadline for the approval upload is December 31, 2020; for 150,000 and less, the deadline for the approval upload is May 31, 2021.
How Is the Message Count Determined?
The message count is determined not by the number of people, but by the delivery channel. If both e-mail and SMS are sent to a person, it will be recorded as 2 messages, not 1.
Why Do the Permissions Need to be
Transferred to IYS?
As of May 31, 2021, if you do not transfer all your existing permitted messages and subsequent permissions to IYS within 3 business days, the permission you have received will be invalid and you cannot continue to communicate with your contacts within the scope of your marketing activities.
