Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Legal Kornet collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal data when you visit https://legal-kornet.com, contact us, subscribe to communications, or otherwise interact with us before entering into a client engagement.

1. About Legal Kornet

Legal Kornet (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates legal-kornet.com and determines the purposes and means of processing the personal data described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data processed in connection with:

your use of legal-kornet.com and its pages, features, and contact forms;
enquiries and other communications sent to us through the website or other communication channels;
subscriptions to newsletters, legal updates, event information, or other marketing communications; and
our assessment of whether and how we may respond to an enquiry or enter into a business relationship.

This Privacy Policy does not govern personal data processed after Legal Kornet accepts a client engagement where that processing is addressed by an engagement letter, legal services agreement, or a separate privacy notice. Third-party websites and platforms have their own privacy practices, for which we are not responsible.

3. Personal Data We Collect

3.1 Information You Provide

Depending on how you interact with us, you may provide:

contact and identification details, such as your name, email address, telephone number, job title, company, and country;
enquiry and communication data, including the contents of messages, attachments, and records of correspondence;
marketing preferences, subscription choices, and responses to our communications; and
any other information you voluntarily include in a message or provide during an initial discussion.

Please do not send confidential, privileged, special-category, financial, identification, or other sensitive information through a general website form unless we specifically ask for it through an appropriate channel. Contacting us does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.

3.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you use the website, we or our service providers may collect:

technical data, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language, approximate location derived from an IP address, and similar device or network information;
usage data, such as pages viewed, links selected, referring and exit pages, visit time, session duration, and interactions with website features;
online identifiers and preference data, including cookie identifiers, consent choices, and similar information stored or accessed on your device; and
security and diagnostic data, such as request logs, error records, and information used to detect abuse or maintain website availability.

The technologies used on the website may change as the website is developed. More information about cookies and similar technologies is provided in our Cookie Policy and through the website’s cookie preference controls.

3.3 Information From Other Sources

We may receive limited personal data from referral partners, professional contacts, publicly available sources, social or communication platforms, and analytics or advertising providers, where permitted by applicable law.

4. How We Use Personal Data and Our Legal Bases

The legal basis we rely on depends on the purpose, the context, and the law that applies. Where the GDPR or a comparable law applies, we process personal data on one or more of the following bases:

Purpose	How We Use the Data	Legal Basis
Responding to enquiries	To receive, review, respond to, and keep appropriate records of enquiries; arrange initial discussions; and take steps requested before a possible engagement.	Pre-contract steps; legitimate interests
Website operation and security	To provide and maintain the website, troubleshoot errors, prevent misuse, protect systems, and establish or defend legal claims.	Legitimate interests; legal obligations
Analytics and improvement	To understand website performance and audience interaction, measure content effectiveness, and improve our website and communications.	Consent where required; otherwise legitimate interests where permitted
Advertising and campaign measurement	To measure campaigns, understand referrals and conversions, and deliver or evaluate advertising where legally permitted.	Consent where required; otherwise legitimate interests where permitted
Marketing communications	To send newsletters, legal updates, service information, and event or business-development communications, and to manage subscriptions and opt-outs.	Consent or legitimate interests, as permitted by applicable law
Compliance and protection	To comply with law, respond to lawful requests, enforce our rights, maintain records, and prevent fraud or unlawful activity.	Legal obligations; legitimate interests

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether those interests are necessary and proportionate and whether your rights override them.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember choices, understand website use, maintain security, and, where permitted, support analytics and advertising. Non-essential technologies are used only with consent where applicable law requires it. You can manage your choices through the cookie preference controls. See our Cookie Policy for further details.

6. How We Share Personal Data

We may disclose personal data to the following categories of recipients where necessary for the purposes described above:

website hosting, infrastructure, maintenance, security, and technical service providers;
analytics, advertising, campaign measurement, and website optimisation providers;
email, cloud, contact form, customer relationship management, and communication service providers;
lawyers, accountants, insurers, auditors, consultants, and other professional advisers;
affiliates, contractors, or professional partners involved in evaluating or responding to an enquiry, subject to appropriate confidentiality requirements;
courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies, government authorities, or other parties where disclosure is required or permitted by law; and
a prospective buyer, successor, or other relevant party in connection with a restructuring, merger, acquisition, financing, or transfer of all or part of our business, subject to appropriate safeguards.

The particular providers we use may change as our business and website evolve. Service providers acting on our behalf are authorised to process personal data only for agreed purposes and are expected to protect it appropriately. We do not sell personal data for monetary consideration.

7. International Data Transfers

Legal Kornet operates internationally, and our service providers and other recipients may process personal data in countries other than the country in which you are located, including the United States. Data protection laws in those countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we use an appropriate legal mechanism, such as an adequacy decision, approved contractual clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, taking into account:

the nature and status of the enquiry or relationship;
the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data;
security, fraud-prevention, and operational requirements;
applicable limitation periods and the need to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; and
legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and professional obligations.

Enquiry records that do not result in an engagement are generally retained for up to 24 months after the last substantive interaction, unless a longer or shorter period is appropriate. Marketing data is retained until you opt out or it is no longer required; we may retain minimal information on a suppression list to honour an opt-out. Cookie and similar-technology retention periods are described in the Cookie Policy.

When personal data is no longer required, we delete, anonymise, or securely dispose of it.

9. Marketing Communications

Where legally permitted, we may send newsletters, legal updates, event information, or information about our services. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe method included in the communication or by contacting . Opting out of marketing does not prevent us from sending necessary administrative messages in response to an enquiry or an existing relationship.

request access to personal data we hold about you;
request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances;
request restriction of processing;

We do not use personal data covered by this Privacy Policy to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Children

The website and our services are directed to businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18 through the website. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact .

13. Third-Party Websites and Platforms
