Türkiye, dealing with criminal law connotations of using ByLock appli-cation, CJ EU judgment in case Landec, tackling the issue of securing data stored in a mobile phone and CJ EU judgment in case EncroChat, whose subject was the collection of end user data by infiltration method on the territory of another member state.
