Abstract
From the beginning people seeking fundamental rights which they have from existing, had to face struggle with tyranny. End of the long process in the idea of human rights, people reached very fundamentally right those still continued to evolve. The personal data of individuals has been at the centre of international law since the 1940’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations (UN). Those rights were intertwined with other personal rights asserted in the UDHR. The European Union (EU) is a unique social example of an entire Continent coming together to form a community. The EU Law is a supranational law that has supremacy over the municipal laws of the EU Member States. EU has been at the forefront of legislating laws that concern human dignity and rights. The Charter of Rights (CFR) of the EU under Article 8, defines personal data as a fundamental human right. The European Convention ECHR recognizes personal data right as part of personal freedoms.EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force in May 2018. It has been transformative since it’s coming into force. This paper highlights the transformative nature of the GDPR under the Case Law of the European Courts. The paper also considers data protection rights under the broader concepts of identity and citizenship.

Abstract
Bireylerin kişisel verileri, 1940 Birleşmiş Milletler İnsan Hakları Evrensel Bildirgesi'nden bu yana uluslararası hukukun merkezinde yer almıştır. Bu haklar, İnsan Hakları Evrensel Bildirgesi'nde vurgulanan diğer kişisel haklarla iç içe geçmiştir. Avrupa Birliği (AB), bütün bir kıtanın bir topluluk oluşturmak üzere bir araya gelmesinin eşsiz bir sosyal örneğidir. AB Hukuku, AB Üye Devletleri’nin yerel yasaları üzerinde üstünlüğe sahip uluslarüstü bir hukuktur. AB, insan onuru ve hakları ile ilgili yasaları yapma konusunda hep ön planda yer almıştır. AB Haklar Şartı, Madde 8'de kişisel verileri bir temel insan hakkı olarak tanımlamaktadır. Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi ise, kişisel veri hakkını kişisel özgürlüklerin bir parçası olarak tanımaktadır. AB Genel Veri Koruma Düzenlemesi, Mayıs 2018'de yürürlüğe girmiştir. Yürürlüğe girdiğinden bu yana dönüştürücü olmuştur. Bu çalışma, Avrupa Mahkemelerinin İçtihatları çerçevesinde Genel Veri Koruma Düzenlemesi’nin dönüştürücü niteliğini vurgulamaktadır. Çalışma ayrıca, kimlik ve vatandaşlığın veri koruma haklarını daha geniş kavramlar altında ele almaktadır.
