WEBSITE TERMS OF USE

Our contact details are:

Legal services are provided by advocates practising in the Republic of Cyprus and are subject to applicable Cyprus law and professional rules, including the rules of the Cyprus Bar Association.

General information, not legal advice

This website provides general information about Cyprus law, legal procedures and our professional activities. It is not legal, tax, financial or other professional advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice based on the particular facts of a matter.

Laws, procedures and official practices can change. We aim to keep published information clear, appropriately dated and based on reliable sources, but a page may not reflect a later legal or administrative change. Visitors should obtain current, tailored advice before acting or deciding not to act.

Enquiries and lawyer-client relationships

Visiting the website, using Smart Chat, submitting a form, requesting a consultation or sending an email does not create a lawyer-client relationship and does not mean that we have agreed to act.

We accept instructions only after completing necessary conflict, capacity and compliance checks, confirming that we can act, agreeing the scope of work and fees, and completing the appropriate engagement process.

Please submit only a brief outline through the website. Do not send identity documents, financial records, medical information, criminal-record information or detailed confidential documents until we confirm that we can consider the matter and provide a suitable method of transmission.

Smart Chat and automated information

Smart Chat may provide automatically generated general information. Responses may be incomplete or contain errors and are not advice from an advocate.

Smart Chat cannot confirm that we will accept a matter, preserve a deadline, determine professional fees, guarantee an outcome or replace direct legal advice. Legal deadlines should always be confirmed directly with an advocate.

Consultation requests and calculators

A consultation request is not a confirmed appointment until our team expressly confirms the date and time.

Any calculator on this website is an indicative information tool. Its result depends on the information entered and the assumptions stated with the tool. It is not a legal opinion, official assessment or quotation of professional fees.

External links

Links to public authorities and third-party websites are provided for convenience. We do not control their content, availability, security or privacy practices. A link does not amount to endorsement. Important information should be checked against the current official source.

Intellectual property and acceptable use

Unless otherwise stated, original website text, design, branding and materials are owned by or licensed to Law Chambers Nicos Papacleovoulou LLC.

Visitors may view and print reasonable extracts for personal, non-commercial use. Website material must not be reproduced, republished, sold, systematically extracted, altered or used in a manner suggesting our approval without prior permission.

The website must not be used unlawfully, to introduce malicious code, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with its operation or misuse its forms and communication tools.

Availability and liability

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the website. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss arising solely from reliance on general website information, an automated response, an external link or temporary website unavailability.

Nothing on this page excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits any duty arising under an accepted written professional engagement.

Changes and governing law

We may update this page when the website, applicable law or our processes change. The current revision date appears at the top of the page.

These Website Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus. Any mandatory rights available under applicable law remain unaffected.

WEBSITE PRIVACY NOTICE

Who is responsible for your information

Law Chambers Nicos Papacleovoulou LLC is responsible for personal data processed through this website.

Privacy enquiries and requests may be sent to law@papacleovoulou.com or to our Paphos office at the address stated above.

Information we may collect

Depending on how a visitor uses the website, we may collect:

Name, email address, telephone number and telephone country code.

Matter type, stated urgency, preferred consultation times and a brief description of the enquiry.

Information submitted through a form, email or Smart Chat.

Basic technical and security information, such as IP address, device or browser information, access times and requested pages.

Cookie choices and information needed to remember those choices.

Limited information needed to assess availability or carry out a preliminary conflict check.

Please do not submit detailed evidence or sensitive documents through a general website form or Smart Chat.

Why we use personal data

We may use website personal data to respond to an enquiry or consultation request and take steps requested before a possible engagement; assess whether we are available and permitted to consider a matter; complete necessary legal, regulatory and professional checks; operate, protect and troubleshoot the website; prevent misuse; maintain appropriate records; establish, exercise or defend legal claims; record and respect privacy and cookie choices; and provide an optional website feature where the visitor has given consent.

Depending on the purpose, processing is based on steps requested before a possible contract, compliance with legal obligations, our legitimate interests in operating a secure professional website and responding to enquiries, or consent where consent is required.

If an enquiry necessarily contains special-category information, we process it only where an applicable legal condition permits, including where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where information comes from

Website information normally comes directly from the visitor or is generated through ordinary website and security functions.

If another person provides information about an individual, any applicable transparency obligations remain subject to professional confidentiality, legal restrictions and the rights of other persons.

Who may receive information

Personal data may be accessed or received, where relevant, by authorised advocates and members of our staff; service providers supporting website operation, communications, document handling, security or technical support under appropriate obligations; professional advisers, auditors or insurers where necessary; and courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies or other public authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

Technical service providers may operate in more than one jurisdiction. Where data protection law requires safeguards for a transfer, an applicable lawful mechanism must be used. Further information about safeguards relevant to a particular request may be obtained by contacting us.

How long information is kept

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to and manage an enquiry; complete appropriate conflict, availability or compliance checks; meet legal, regulatory and professional obligations; maintain website security and investigate misuse; and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Where we accept a professional engagement, the relevant client-file and legal retention requirements apply.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data. No internet or email transmission is completely secure, so sensitive documents should be sent only by a method we have approved.

Your data protection rights

Subject to the conditions and exceptions in applicable data protection law, individuals may request access to their personal data; correction of inaccurate or incomplete information; erasure or restriction of processing; data portability where applicable; objection to processing based on legitimate interests; and withdrawal of consent at any time, without affecting processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

Requests may be sent to law@papacleovoulou.com. We may request proportionate information to verify identity and protect confidential information and the rights of others.

Automated tools

Smart Chat provides general automated information. We do not use website enquiry information to make a solely automated decision that accepts a client, determines legal rights or otherwise produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Complaints

We invite visitors to contact us first so that we can consider and address a privacy concern.

Individuals may also complain to the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection:

15 Kypranoros Street
1061 Nicosia, Cyprus

Children

This website is not directed to children. A parent, guardian or authorised adult should contact us where legal assistance concerns a child.

COOKIE NOTICE

What cookies are

Cookies and similar technologies are small files or identifiers used when a website is opened. Some are necessary to operate and secure the website. Others may support optional functions or help measure website use.

Necessary cookies

Necessary technologies may be used to deliver and secure website pages; maintain network and session functions; prevent misuse; remember a visitor's cookie choices; and provide a website function expressly requested by the visitor.

These technologies operate only for purposes necessary to provide or protect the website and its requested functions.

Optional cookies

Optional functional, analytics or other non-essential technologies may be offered from time to time. Where consent is required, they should remain disabled until the visitor makes an affirmative choice.

The available categories and current choices are shown through the website's cookie banner or Cookie Settings control where available.

Managing cookie choices

Visitors should be offered clear choices to accept optional cookies, reject non-essential cookies or manage individual categories. Rejecting non-essential cookies does not prevent access to the ordinary website.

A visitor may later change or withdraw consent through the Cookie Settings control where available. Browser controls may also delete or block cookies, although blocking necessary technologies may affect website operation.

External services

Following a link to an external service, such as an official authority or mapping service, takes the visitor to that provider's website and privacy practices.

Any embedded third-party feature capable of placing non-essential cookies should remain inactive until the visitor makes the required choice.

Cookie Notice updates

We may update this section when website technologies or legal requirements change. The revision date at the top of this page identifies the current version.
