2. Personal Data Processed

No personal data are collected on this site. The site contains no contact form, membership, comment field or similar data-collection tool.

No visitor tracking, advertising, profiling or analytics data are collected. No third-party tracking tools, external fonts, external scripts or social-media tracking codes are used.

The sole exception is the server access logs (IP address, date and time, requested address) kept by the hosting provider pursuant to Law No. 5651 and related legislation. These records are kept out of technical necessity and legal obligation; they are not used for marketing purposes.

3. Purpose and Legal Ground of Processing

Server access logs are processed for the purposes of ensuring the security of the site and fulfilling obligations arising from legislation. The legal grounds are Article 5(2)(ç) of the Law (processing necessary for the data controller to fulfil a legal obligation) and Article 5(2)(f) (legitimate interest).

If you send an e-mail directly, the information contained in your message is processed solely for the purpose of replying to you and on the basis of your request.

4. Warning Concerning Special Categories of Data

Data relating to criminal convictions and security measures are special categories of personal data under Article 6 of the Law. You are therefore kindly requested not to send by e-mail any details of an ongoing investigation or case, file numbers, identity numbers, health information or information concerning third parties. E-mail is not a medium whose confidentiality is technically assured. Such matters are discussed only by appointment, in an appropriate and confidential setting.

5. Transfers

As no personal data are collected through this site, no transfer arises. E-mails you send directly are not transferred to third parties, subject to obligations arising from legislation and lawful requests of competent public authorities.

Server access logs are generated automatically by the hosting infrastructure with every request made to the site. Beyond this, no data are collected from the site.

7. Retention Periods

Server access logs are retained by the hosting provider for the period prescribed by legislation. Direct e-mail correspondence is retained for no more than two years from the conclusion of the correspondence. If a legal relationship is established, the retention periods arising from the Attorneys' Law and related legislation apply.
