What data we collect
Information you send us. When you submit the enquiry form, we receive what you enter: name, email address and, if you choose to provide them, company, country, type of client, matter type, estimated project value and your message.
Technical data. The website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. When you visit it, Cloudflare processes standard technical information — such as IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time of the request — to deliver the website and protect it against misuse.
Cookies and tracking. The public website does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and it does not load third-party fonts or social media plugins. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies. The content management area (/admin), used only by the site's editors, sets a short-lived cookie during sign-in.
If analytics or other non-essential technologies are introduced in future, this policy will be updated first and, where the law requires it, your consent will be requested beforehand.
Why we use the data and on what basis
- To respond to your enquiry and consider a possible engagement — steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries.
- To check for conflicts of interest before accepting an engagement — our professional obligations.
- To operate and secure the website — our legitimate interest in a functioning and secure website.
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not sell it.
Who receives the data
Only the persons dealing with your enquiry have access to it. We use the following service providers, which process data on our behalf:
- Cloudflare, Inc. — website hosting, security and the server-side processing of the enquiry form;
- Resend, Inc. — delivery of enquiry-form submissions to our mailbox by email.
These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on the safeguards provided by the providers' data processing terms.
How long we keep data
We keep enquiries only for as long as needed to respond to them and to assess a possible engagement. If an engagement follows, the data becomes part of the client file and is kept in line with professional record-keeping obligations. Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement are deleted once they are no longer needed for these purposes.
Your rights
Depending on the law that applies to you — including the Law of Ukraine "On Personal Data Protection" and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation — you may have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
To exercise your rights, contact us as indicated above.
Confidentiality of enquiries
Please do not send confidential details of a matter through the enquiry form before an engagement has been agreed. A short, non-confidential description is enough for a first reply.
Changes
We may update this policy. The date of the current version is shown on this page.
