This achievement highlights Azercell’s continued focus on data protection and privacy management in line with international standards.

The certification confirms that Azercell employs a systematic and internationally aligned approach to personal data privacy, ensuring transparent, reliable, and highly effective control mechanisms in the processing of customer information.
