We take your privacy seriously - not just because we're lawyers and it's kind of our thing, but because trust is the foundation of everything we do here at Lumarethys.
Look, we get it - nobody really enjoys reading privacy policies. They're usually full of legal jargon that makes your eyes glaze over. But since we're in the business of making complex legal stuff understandable, we've tried to keep this straightforward.
At Lumarethys Legal Solutions, we're committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable privacy legislation. We've been handling sensitive corporate information for years, so we know what it takes to keep data secure.
Key Point:
This policy covers all personal information we collect through our website, phone calls, emails, and in-person consultations. If you're our client, additional confidentiality protections apply under solicitor-client privilege.
We're not in the business of collecting data just for the sake of it. We only gather what we actually need to provide you with quality legal services.
When you reach out to us or become a client, you might provide:
Like most modern websites, ours collects some technical data:
Worth Noting:
We don't use any third-party advertising networks or sell your data to anyone. That's not our business model, and frankly, it never will be.
We're pretty straightforward about this. Here's what we do with your information:
This is the main event. We use your info to actually help you with your legal matters - conducting research, drafting documents, representing you in negotiations, and all the other stuff lawyers do.
We'll use your contact details to respond to your inquiries, send case updates, share relevant legal developments that might affect your business, and handle billing matters.
We analyze website usage patterns to make our site more useful and figure out what types of content are actually helpful to people.
Sometimes we're legally required to keep certain records or disclose information (more on that below). We also need to comply with our professional obligations under the Law Society of Ontario's rules.
We're not in the habit of sharing client information around, but there are some situations where it happens:
If you give us the green light, we might share your info with opposing counsel, expert witnesses, court officials, or other parties involved in your matter.
We work with carefully vetted vendors who help us run our practice - cloud storage providers, IT support, document management systems, and accounting software. These folks are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and can only use your data to provide services to us.
If we're served with a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process, we may need to disclose information. We'll let you know if this happens unless we're legally prevented from doing so. We also have obligations under anti-money laundering legislation that sometimes require disclosure.
Important:
Solicitor-client privilege protects most communications between us and our clients. This is a fundamental principle we take very seriously, and we'll fight to protect it whenever legally possible.
If our firm merges with another practice or sells assets, your information might be transferred as part of that transaction. Any successor would still be bound by this privacy policy and professional confidentiality rules.
We've spent a lot of time and money making sure your data stays secure. Here's some of what we do:
That said, no system is 100% bulletproof. While we take reasonable precautions, we can't guarantee absolute security. If we ever experience a data breach that affects your information, we'll notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.
Under Canadian privacy law, you've got several rights when it comes to your personal information:
You can ask us what personal information we have about you. We'll provide it within 30 days, subject to some exceptions (like info protected by solicitor-client privilege or involving other people's privacy).
If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it. Accurate records are important for providing good legal services anyway.
You can withdraw consent for us to use your info for certain purposes, like marketing communications. Keep in mind we may still need to retain some information for legal or professional reasons.
You can request deletion of your data, though we're required to keep certain records for a minimum period under Law Society rules and other legislation.
To exercise any of these rights, just reach out to us using the contact info at the bottom of this page.
We don't keep information forever, but as a law firm, we do have some specific retention requirements:
When we do dispose of information, we do it securely - shredding physical documents and using secure data deletion for digital files.
Our services are designed for businesses and adults. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you're a parent and think your child has given us information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Privacy law and our practices evolve over time, so we might update this policy occasionally. When we make significant changes, we'll post a notice on our website and update the "Last Updated" date at the top.
If you're an active client, we'll also send you an email about material changes that affect how we handle your information.
If you've got questions about this policy or how we handle your information, don't hesitate to reach out. We're pretty approachable for lawyers.
