We take your privacy seriously. Here's how we handle your information when you work with us.
Your privacy matters to us. We're committed to protecting your data.
Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But since we're lawyers dealing with sensitive cross-border transactions and confidential business matters, we figured you'd wanna know exactly what happens with your info.
This policy covers everything we do with your personal data when you use our website, reach out for a consultation, or work with us on international business matters. We've tried to keep the legalese to a minimum, but there's some stuff we gotta say in formal terms 'cause, well, regulations.
Bottom line: we're not in the business of selling your data or doing anything sketchy with it. We collect what we need to provide you with top-notch legal services, and that's about it.
When you reach out, we'll grab your name, email, phone number, and business address. Pretty standard stuff. Can't really help you with international M&A deals without knowing who you are, right?
If you're engaging us for legal services, we'll need details about your company, the nature of your business, financial info relevant to transactions, and anything else that helps us understand your legal needs. This gets into confidential territory pretty quick, which is exactly why we're super careful with it.
Our website collects the usual technical stuff - IP addresses, browser types, pages you visit, time spent on the site. It's mostly so we can fix things if they break and understand what content folks actually care about.
Any emails, messages, or documents you send us get stored. We need to keep records of our communications 'cause we're lawyers and that's kinda part of the gig. Plus, it protects both of us if there's ever confusion down the line.
We're pretty straightforward about this. Your information gets used for:
We don't just hand out your info to anyone who asks. But there are some situations where we need to share it:
We work with third-party vendors who help us run the business - cloud storage providers, accounting software, secure communication platforms. They only get access to what they need to do their job, and they're bound by confidentiality agreements.
If the law requires us to disclose information - court orders, subpoenas, regulatory investigations - we gotta comply. We're lawyers, so we'll push back if the request seems dodgy, but ultimately we follow the law.
Sometimes we might need to share your info with other parties as part of a transaction or legal matter. We'll always get your explicit okay first.
Occasionally we need to consult with other professionals - accountants, expert witnesses, co-counsel in other jurisdictions. When we do, it's always in the context of serving your interests and under strict confidentiality obligations.
Security's a big deal for us. We're handling sensitive business info all the time, so we've invested in some pretty robust measures:
That said, no system's perfect. We do everything we reasonably can to protect your data, but we can't guarantee absolute security. If we ever experience a data breach that affects you, we'll let you know ASAP and explain what happened and what we're doing about it.
Under Canadian privacy laws (and various international regulations we comply with), you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal info:
You can ask to see what personal information we have about you. We'll provide a copy within a reasonable timeframe.
If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it.
You can request that we delete your personal info, though we might need to keep some stuff for legal or regulatory reasons.
Want to take your data elsewhere? We can provide it in a format that makes that easier.
You can object to certain types of processing, like marketing communications. Just say the word and we'll stop.
To exercise any of these rights, shoot us an email at info@glaivornexenrealm.info or call us at (416) 555-0198. We'll get back to you within 30 days.
Given that we specialize in international business law and cross-border transactions, there's a decent chance your information might need to travel across borders. Here's how we handle that:
We primarily operate from Canada, but we work with clients and partners worldwide. Sometimes we need to transfer data to or access it from other countries to provide our services effectively. When we do this, we make sure there are appropriate safeguards in place.
For transfers to countries with strong data protection laws (like the EU, UK, or other jurisdictions with adequate protections), we're generally in good shape. For transfers to countries with less robust protections, we use mechanisms like:
We're always mindful of where your data's going and why. If a particular matter involves transfers to jurisdictions with data protection concerns, we'll discuss it with you upfront
