1. Scope of this information
This privacy information concerns the website advokatebitbilisi.ge and communications initiated through it. It explains the categories of information a visitor may provide, the purpose for which the information is received, and practical points about contacting a law office online. It is intended as a clear public explanation and should be read together with any more specific information provided when a formal legal engagement begins.
The website is operated in connection with the legal services of ASSIO LEX LLC in Tbilisi, Georgia. Contact details displayed on the site are the primary way to ask questions about the handling of an inquiry.
2. Information you provide
When you use the contact form, you may provide your name, telephone number, email address, preferred contact method, type of legal matter, deadline, names of parties and a description of the matter. You may also choose to send documents separately by email after initial contact. Please provide only information that is reasonably necessary for the first assessment.
Legal matters can contain sensitive information. The website form is designed for an initial inquiry, not for an unrestricted upload of a complete confidential case file. If highly sensitive material is required, ask the office which channel should be used.
3. Why party names may be requested
A law office may need enough identifying information to conduct a conflict-of-interest check before accepting instructions or receiving detailed confidential strategy. The names of the principal parties, related companies or other relevant participants can therefore be necessary at an early stage.
Providing this information does not mean the office has accepted the matter. It helps determine whether the inquiry can be considered and routed appropriately.
4. Use of contact information
Information submitted through the website may be used to review and respond to the inquiry, identify the relevant legal practice area, conduct preliminary conflict checks, communicate about a consultation or proposed engagement, maintain security and prevent misuse of the form, and comply with legal or professional obligations where applicable.
If a lawyer-client relationship is established, information may later be handled as part of the professional file under the terms of that engagement and the applicable legal and professional framework. That later processing is not created merely by visiting the website.
5. Website services and third-party tools
The website uses communication tools that may be provided by third parties, including live chat and WhatsApp integration. When you choose to use those services, their technical infrastructure and privacy terms may also apply. The site currently integrates Smartsupp for live chat and an Elfsight WhatsApp widget. You should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through a third-party chat channel before you know it is appropriate for the matter.
The website may also generate standard technical logs through the hosting environment, such as IP address, user agent, requested page, time and error information. Such data can be necessary for security, troubleshooting and normal web-server operation.
6. Cookies and similar technology
Third-party communication widgets may use cookies or similar technologies to provide their functions. Browser settings can often control cookies, although disabling them may affect some website features. The core legal-information pages are designed to remain readable without requiring an account.
If analytics or additional marketing technologies are introduced in the future, this privacy information should be updated to reflect their actual use rather than relying on generic wording.
7. Retention and security
Information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was received and for applicable legal, professional, security or record-keeping needs. The appropriate period can differ between an inquiry that does not proceed and an active client file.
No internet transmission or storage system can be described as absolutely secure. We use reasonable organizational and technical measures appropriate to the website and legal work, but visitors should also use care when transmitting confidential documents online.
8. Your choices and contact
If you believe information submitted through the website is inaccurate, was sent in error, or raises a privacy question, contact us at info@advokatebitbilisi.ge. A request can be assessed in light of applicable law, professional duties, record-keeping requirements and the rights of other persons.
You may also choose to contact the office by telephone instead of the web form. The most appropriate communication method can depend on the urgency and sensitivity of the matter.
9. Website inquiry is not automatic representation
Submitting personal information through the form does not by itself create a lawyer-client relationship, reserve a deadline or confirm that the office will act. Until representation is expressly accepted, you remain responsible for protecting procedural and contractual deadlines.
This point also protects confidentiality expectations. A prospective client should not assume that a detailed strategy has been accepted for professional handling merely because a message was technically delivered.
