Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 April 2026

1. Introduction

Odvjetnica Monika Maretić (hereinafter: the "Law Office") is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to this website. This Privacy Policy describes what personal data we collect, the purposes for which we use it, how long we retain it, and what rights you have as a data subject under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation EU 2016/679).

This policy applies exclusively to data collected through the contact form on this website. The advisory and legal relationship, including data processing in the context of legal representation, is governed by a separate engagement agreement.

2. What Data We Collect

Through the contact form on this website, we collect the following personal data:

• Full name
• Phone number
• Email address
• Message (free text entered by you)

We do not automatically collect any other personal data (e.g. IP address, device data, or tracking cookies). The only information collected is what you yourself submit through the form.

3. Why We Collect Data

We collect personal data solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry submitted through the contact form. The legal basis for processing is legitimate interest of the controller (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — specifically, the interest in communicating with individuals who have proactively submitted an enquiry.

Your data will not be used for marketing, newsletters, or any purpose other than responding to your specific enquiry.

4. How Long We Retain Data

Personal data collected through the contact form is retained for a maximum of 1 (one) year from the date of receipt, or until your deletion request, whichever comes first.

If your enquiry leads to a legal engagement, the statutory retention periods under the Attorneys Act and relevant regulations apply.

5. Who Has Access to Data

Access to your personal data is restricted exclusively to:

• Odvjetnica Monika Maretić, as the data controller

Your data will not be shared with third parties for commercial or any other purposes, with one exception: contact form submissions are processed by Web3Forms, which acts as a data processor. Web3Forms temporarily stores submitted data for up to 30 days for delivery purposes, after which it is automatically deleted. Web3Forms operates in accordance with GDPR requirements through standard contractual clauses. No other third parties have access to your data.

6. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access — you may request to see the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — you may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure — you may request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Right to object — you may object to the processing of your data on the basis of legitimate interest.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at the following email address:

We will respond to your request within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in the Republic of Croatia this is the Agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka (AZOP).

7. Cookies

This website uses functional cookies only. Specifically, it stores your decision to accept or decline the cookie notice in browser storage (localStorage). This information remains on your device only and is not sent to any server.

This website does not use analytics cookies, tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or social media cookies. We do not integrate Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tools.

8. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy in response to changes in legislation or data processing practices. All changes will be published on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed of the current version.
