Website Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: 14 October 2026

This policy explains how Law Chambers Nicos Papacleovoulou LLC handles personal data received through this website and the choices available to visitors concerning cookies. It addresses website use and initial enquiries; additional information may be provided when a professional engagement is accepted.

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 at the end of this policy.

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 contact method or consultation times and a brief description of the enquiry.

• Information submitted through a form, email or Smart Chat where available.

• 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.

• Optional newsletter subscription, confirmation and unsubscribe preferences.

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.

Optional email newsletters

The enquiry form offers a separate, optional subscription to email newsletters about Cyprus property, residence and related legal updates. If you choose to subscribe, we use your contact details and subscription preferences for that purpose on the basis of your consent. The form asks subscribers to confirm their subscription through the email sent to them.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe facility in a newsletter or by contacting law@papacleovoulou.com. This is optional and does not affect your enquiry or access to legal services. We may keep the limited record needed to respect an unsubscribe request.

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.

The website is hosted on Wix and uses Wix website tools, including enquiry forms and consultation booking tools.

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; respect subscription and privacy choices; 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

Where available, 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 directly to the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection:

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. If no Cookie Settings control appears or you need help with your choices, please contact law@papacleovoulou.com.

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 notice when website technologies or legal requirements change. The revision date appears at the top of this page.
