Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: 24 September 2026
This policy explains what personal data EmpOweR collects through empower.ge, why we collect it, who we share it with, how long we keep it and what rights you have. It also explains how we use cookies and similar technologies.
1. Who we are
The controller of your personal data is EmpOweR, an Employer of Record (EoR) and business process outsourcing (BPO) provider in Georgia.
We process personal data in line with the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection and, where it applies to you, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2. Data we collect
Information you give us
When you request a quote through the form on this site, we receive what you enter:
- company name and website;
- your work email address;
- the country you are based in;
- how many people you plan to hire in Georgia and when you plan to start;
- the services you are interested in;
- your confirmation that you have read this policy.
If you contact us by email or call, we also keep that correspondence. Please do not send us sensitive data (such as health, biometric or criminal-record information) or identity-document numbers through the form.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting and security provider processes technical data when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages requested and the date and time of the request. This is used to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
Your cookie choice
If you use the cookie banner, your choice is stored in your browser (see section 8).
We do not currently use analytics or advertising cookies, and we do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.
3. Why we use your data
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Reply to your enquiry, prepare a quote or proposal and take steps you ask for before entering into a contract. | Steps at your request before a contract; our legitimate interest in running our business; your consent (form checkbox). |
| Operate, secure and improve the website; prevent fraud and abuse. | Our legitimate interest. |
| Remember your cookie preferences. | Strictly necessary for the service you requested; legal obligation to record your choice. |
| Comply with legal, tax and accounting obligations, and establish or defend legal claims. | Legal obligation; legitimate interest. |
| Send you news or marketing by email (only if we ever offer this). | Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. |
Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawing does not affect processing that took place before.
4. Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site and handle enquiries, under appropriate terms:
- FormSubmit (formsubmit.co) — a form-to-email service that receives what you submit in the quote form and forwards it to our mailbox.
- Google — our mailbox provider (Gmail), where quote requests are received and stored; and Google Fonts, which serves the fonts used on this site (your IP address is sent to Google when the fonts load).
- Cloudflare — hosting, content delivery, DNS and security for empower.ge.
- Professional advisers (legal, tax, accounting) and authorities, where we are required to or need to protect our rights.
If we later add analytics, advertising or other tools, we will list them here and load them only with your consent where consent is required.
5. International transfers
Some of the providers above process data outside Georgia and outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on the safeguards available under applicable law, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or the providers' certified data-protection frameworks.
6. How long we keep your data
- Quote requests and related correspondence: for 12 months after our last contact with you, unless we enter into a contract with you, in which case the retention rules for that contract apply.
- Records we must keep by law (for example accounting and tax records): for the period the law requires.
- Your cookie choice: until you change it or 12 months pass, whichever is sooner.
- Server logs: for the short period set by our hosting provider.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy;
- have inaccurate data corrected or incomplete data completed;
- have your data erased, or its use restricted;
- object to processing based on our legitimate interests;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time.
To exercise a right, contact us through the form on this website. We may need to verify your identity first, and we will reply within the time required by law (generally within one month).
8. Cookies & similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies such as your browser's local storage. We only set what is strictly necessary unless you agree otherwise. Non-essential categories stay off until you opt in, and you can change your mind at any time using Cookie settings.
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
empower_consent (browser local storage) | Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie choices so we do not ask on every visit. Stays in your browser only. | Up to 12 months |
Security cookies set by Cloudflare (for example __cf_bm), if enabled | Strictly necessary | Protects the site from bots and abuse. | Short-lived (up to about 30 minutes) |
Analytics and marketing cookies: none are in use at the moment. If we add them, they will load only after you opt in, and this table will be updated.
Fonts: this site loads fonts from Google Fonts. This does not set cookies, but your IP address is sent to Google to deliver the font files.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the site may then not work as intended.
9. Security
The site is served over HTTPS and we limit access to enquiry data to people who need it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children
Our services are for businesses. This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest version. If we make significant changes, we will make them clear on this site.
