Privacy policy of this website talegal.eu

It is important to have an honest conversation about your data.

I am a self-employed legal practitioner. This website uses off-the-shelf WordPress or Google technology to create a basic web-presence. As to the processing and flow of the data all is done automatically by your web-browser and my internet provider. I personally, as most likely you as website user as well, am not aware of any of your private data when you visit my website. The only personal information I collect is when a client-lawyer relationship is formed and I agree with my client on fees and engagement terms.

This website to my knowledge does not collect personal identifiable information and if it does, then without my active participation or knowledge. It is important to be aware that now-a-days tech giants and your internet provider collect personal information when surfing the internet and WordPress or Google may collect personal information about you when visiting my website, which does not make me however ever see them, let alone store or process them.

This website is directed to the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia. Being however admitted to practice law in several countries, this website, as a matter of pre-caution -not as a matter of legal obligation- aims to be also compliant under laws in EEA jurisdictions.

Copyrights of images or videos on this website have all been lawfully purchased. Should you consider a copyright infringement, please kindly give me a chance to look into this and correcting this first (privacy@talegal.eu), before mounting a claim or “Abmahnung”. I cannot take responsibility for images, videos, links or texts that third parties use in their publications, invitations, flyers etc. For example, if my name appears in a news paper article or a flyer for a webinar or course, and that publication on the same page also publishes some material that infringes copyrights of others, I cannot be held accountable. It would also go beyond my ability to check.

Wherever I publish names of clients or cases or testimonials, consent has been obtained in advance. Logos of the respective author/client organisation are published for illustration purpose only and do not imply a partnership or an advertising arrangement etc. Sometimes organisations change internally and may decide for whatever reason that they do not wish my website to publish their logo any longer. I kindly ask you to email me and give me some time for my external IT company to adapt the site accordingly. I am keen to preserve my working relationship with everyone I come across in my working life and enjoy building good relationships with everyone who contributed to my career so far.

I hope you enjoy the look and feel of the website and find the information useful. If you have any queries as to my service or how we could work together, feel free to email, message or call me.
