WhatsApp Opt-in: GDPR & KVKK Compliant Consent Collection
Under data protection laws (GDPR & KVKK), businesses must obtain prior explicit **opt-in consent** before sending commercial or marketing communications via WhatsApp. Messaging without consent risks regulatory fines and Meta account restrictions.
What Defines Valid Opt-in Consent?
Consent must be specific, informed, and freely given (pre-ticked checkboxes are legally invalid).
Compliant Consent Collection Methods
Methods include optional website form checkboxes, in-chat consent prompts, and store QR code touchpoints.
For additional compliance guidelines, visit our WhatsApp KVKK compliance guide.
Refer to official privacy regulations at the KVKK official site.
