Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

The personal data controller is:
Attorney at Law Nikola S. Petrović
Website: advokatpetrovic.rs

E-mail for privacy inquiries: gdpr@advokatpetrovic.rs

2. Data Subject to Processing

Depending on how you use the site, the following data may be processed:

• Basic data: First and last name, e-mail address, phone number.
• Communication content: Data you voluntarily enter into the contact form or tools.
• Technical data: IP address, device and browser type, date and time of access (via cookies and log files).

3. Purpose of Data Processing

Personal data is processed exclusively for the following purposes:

• Taking actions at the request of the individual (Art. 12, Para. 1, Item 2 of the LPDP): Responding to inquiries and scheduling consultations.
• Legitimate interest (Art. 12, Para. 1, Item 6 of the LPDP): To ensure website functionality and defense against cyber attacks.
• Compliance with legal obligations: In accordance with regulations governing the legal profession.

Note: Sending an inquiry via the website or the "Virtual Lawyer" tool does not automatically establish an attorney-client relationship.

Data is not used for marketing without the explicit consent of the user.

4. "Virtual Lawyer" and Automated Processing

The "Virtual Lawyer" tool uses automated systems to provide general information.

Confidentiality: Data entered into this tool is not considered attorney-client privilege unless a formal engagement of the lawyer occurs subsequently.

No Legal Effect: The automated system does not make decisions that produce legal consequences for you. The information is strictly for educational and informative purposes.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Data processing is carried out in accordance with the Law on Personal Data Protection and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), based on:

• taking actions at the request of the individual prior to entering into a contract
• fulfillment of legal obligations
• legitimate interest of the controller to respond to an inquiry

Submitting an inquiry via the website does not establish an attorney-client relationship.

6. Data Retention and Security

Inquiry data is kept until the conclusion of the communication, and for a maximum of 12 months from the last contact, unless cooperation is established (in which case professional legal document retention periods apply).

We apply technical protection measures (SSL encryption, password protection, secure servers) to prevent unauthorized access to your data.

7. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

Data is not sold to third parties. It may be shared with:

• IT partners: Hosting providers and website administrators.
• AI services: When using the "Virtual Lawyer" tool, data may be processed via servers of companies (e.g., OpenAI, Google) which may be located in the USA. In such cases, the transfer is carried out using standard contractual clauses and protection measures that guarantee a level of privacy similar to that in RS/EU.

8. Your Rights

In accordance with the Law, the user has the right to:

• Access and Rectification: To know what data we have and to request its modification.
• Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Request for permanent removal of data.
• Objection: The right to object to processing based on legitimate interest.
• Complaint to the Commissioner: If you believe the processing is unlawful (Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection).
