Dler Law Office (trading as DLO.M.E), a legal practice registered and operating in Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of information obtained through this website (dlerlawoffice.com). This Privacy Policy sets out, in plain terms, what data this website collects, the purposes for which it is used, and the protections afforded to you as a visitor.
This Policy applies exclusively to data collected through dlerlawoffice.com and does not constitute legal advice on data protection matters.

2. Data We Collect
2.1 Analytics Data (Collected Automatically)
This website uses two analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our pages:
- —Google Analytics (Google LLC) — collects anonymised usage data including pages visited, session duration, browser type, device category, and general geographic region. Data is transmitted to and processed on Google's servers.
- —Cloudflare Analytics (Cloudflare, Inc.) — collects aggregated performance and traffic data, including page load times, request volumes, and security threat signals. Cloudflare Analytics does not use cookies and does not track individual users across sessions or sites.
Neither service collects personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or precise location. All analytics data is processed solely for our internal purposes: to understand how this website is used, to identify technical issues, and to improve the quality and performance of our content and services. This data is not used for advertising or profiling.
2.2 Data You Provide Voluntarily
If you contact us via the enquiry form on our Contact page, we receive the information you submit: your name, email address, telephone number (if provided), the practice area relevant to your matter, and the content of your message. This information is used exclusively to respond to your enquiry and to administer the professional relationship that may arise from it. We do not solicit, collect, or require sensitive personal data through this website.

No individually identifiable data is transmitted to or accessible by any other third party.
In the event that disclosure is required by applicable law, a court order, or a competent regulatory or governmental authority, we will comply only to the precise extent legally mandated and will, where permitted by law, notify you of such a requirement.
