The LegalTech Lab collects as little as it possibly can. This page says exactly what it holds, why it holds it, how long for, and how to have it removed. It is written to be read, not to be survived.

Who holds your data
The LegalTech Lab is an academic, scientific, clinical and practical educational initiative hosted at Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani University in Tbilisi. Its organisational and technical administration, this website included, is provided by the LegalTech platform Document.ge in coordination with academic partners.
Anything on this page, and any request about your own data, goes to info@legaltech.edu.ge.
If you are only reading
Then nothing about you is collected.
There is no analytics on this site. No advertising, no tracking pixel, no social media button, no embedded video, no CAPTCHA. The typefaces are served from this site’s own server rather than from a font service, which means opening a page here makes no request to any other company at all. That is a deliberate commitment of the Lab’s and it is worth saying plainly, because it is unusual.
Two ordinary things do happen. The web server keeps short technical logs the way every web server does, recording which address was requested and when. And one cookie remembers which language you chose, so the site does not revert to English on every page.
If you create an account
An account exists for one purpose: the Lab’s interactive teaching tools are open to registered users. Registering is voluntary and everything else on this site works without it.
Registration asks for four things and no more:
- Name and surname – so the Lab knows whose account it is.
- Email address – to confirm the account is really yours, and to let you set a new password if you forget the one you chose.
- Phone number – so the Lab can reach you about the tools, or about a class that uses them.
- A password – which is never stored as you typed it. What is kept is a one-way cryptographic hash: a scrambled form from which the original cannot be worked back out, not even by us.
Stored alongside those: the date you agreed to this page, and the exact sentence you agreed to, so there is a record of what was actually asked rather than only that something was.
Your details are not sold, not shared with anyone, and not used to send you anything you did not ask for. There is no newsletter and no mailing list here.
The only emails the Lab will send you
Three, all of them a direct answer to something you did:
- Confirm your email address, once, when you register. Until you click it the tools stay shut, which is what stops anyone opening an account under someone else’s address.
- Set a new password, only when you ask for it.
- Your password was changed, so that if it was not you who changed it, you find out.
They come from info@legaltech.edu.ge and they contain no image and no web font, so even opening one makes no request to a third party.
Cookies
Three, and not one of them is for advertising or measurement:
- Your language – remembers English or Georgian for a year. Set whether or not you have an account, because otherwise the site would revert to English on every page.
- Signed in – set only when you sign in, and only so the site knows it is still you on the next page. Cleared when you sign out.
- A tool pass – set by a teaching tool once you launch it, so you do not have to press Launch again on every page of it. It lasts eight hours and carries no information about you.
Who else is involved
- Hostinger provides the hosting, the email and the delivery network that serves the site. The server is in France, so your details are stored and processed outside Georgia.
- Search engines. When an article is published, the site tells Bing, Yandex, Seznam and Naver that a web address has changed. Only the address is sent. Nothing about any person is ever included.
Nobody else. No advertising network, no analytics provider, no marketing platform, no artificial intelligence service receives anything you enter here.
The teaching tools
The tools run at their own web addresses rather than inside this site. When you press Launch, this site hands the tool a short-lived signed pass which says only three things: that a registered user asked for it, which tool it is for, and when it stops being valid.
Your name, email address and phone number are never sent to a tool. They stay on this site. The tool has no way to learn who you are, which is the way it was built on purpose.
How long anything is kept
- Your account and its details: until you delete them. There is no automatic expiry, and no copy is kept afterwards.
- The confirmation link: stored only as a hash, and deleted the moment you use it. It stops working after two days in any case.
- Sign-in and registration counters: these hold a one-way hash of a network address, never the address itself, and they expire within the hour.
- Server logs and backups: kept by the hosting provider for its own operational periods.
What you can do about it
Under the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection you may ask what is held about you, have it corrected, have it deleted, and withdraw your agreement at any time.
Most of that you can do yourself, immediately, without asking anyone:
- Correct your name, surname or phone number on your own account page.
- Delete your account and everything stored with it, from the same page. It happens at once and cannot be undone.
For anything else, including a copy of everything held about you, write to info@legaltech.edu.ge. If the answer does not satisfy you, you may complain to the Personal Data Protection Service of Georgia.
How it is protected
- The whole site is served over HTTPS. There is no unencrypted version.
- Passwords are stored only as one-way hashes.
- A registered account cannot reach the site’s administration at all.
- Sign-in attempts are rate limited, and a failed sign-in gives exactly the same answer whether the address exists or not, so the form cannot be used to find out who has an account.
If this page changes
The date at the top changes with it. If a change ever affects what is collected or why, anyone with an account will be told before it takes effect, not after.
