Frequently asked questions about technology and e-commerce law in Cyprus
Does my online business need to comply with the GDPR?
If you handle personal data of people in the EU, the GDPR very likely applies, regardless of where your business is based. That means having a lawful basis for processing, a clear privacy policy, and appropriate security measures. We help you build compliant data practices and documentation.
What legal documents does an e-commerce website need?
Most online stores need clear terms and conditions of sale, a privacy policy, a cookie notice, and returns and refund terms that meet consumer protection rules. Well-drafted terms reduce disputes and build customer trust. We prepare these documents tailored to how your platform actually works.
How do I protect my software and intellectual property?
Software is generally protected by copyright, while brands can be protected through trademarks. Clear licensing terms, assignment clauses, and confidentiality agreements also matter, especially when working with developers or contractors. We help you secure and license your IP so ownership is never in doubt.
What should I check in a technology or SaaS contract?
Key points include the scope of the service, data protection and security obligations, service levels, liability and indemnities, IP ownership, and exit and termination rights. Small wording differences can carry large commercial risk. We review and negotiate these agreements to protect you.
Do you advise startups and established technology businesses?
Yes. We work with early-stage startups on formation, founder arrangements, and funding, and with established companies on contracts, compliance, and expansion. Whatever stage you are at, contact us to discuss the right legal support for your technology or e-commerce business.
