The unlawful processing of personal data, resulting in damage to the data subject, is a difficult outcome to avoid. The legislator refrained from regulating special provisions regarding the compensation of damages arising as a result of unlawful acts in the Law of the Protection of Personal Data; has preferred to refer to the general provisions by stating that the right to compensation according to the general provisions is reserved for those. The data subject is whose personal data is processed unlawfully and who is damaged as a result of unlawful processing. The damage caused by the unlawful processing of personal data can be in the form of pecuniary damage and moral damage. In this study, the compensation of damages arising from the unlawful processing of personal data is discussed especially in terms of authorized courts. The fact that the data controller is a public-law legal entity or a private law person, the judicial procedure changes and it is possible for these cases to be heard in both administrative and judicial courts. Depending on whether the relationship between the data controller and the data subject is a labor, consumer or commercial relationship, it is also possible for the specialized courts to be authorized.
