- Privacy Policy
Mian Hakeem Law Corporation is committed to safeguarding the personal information of their clients, in compliance with the applicable regulatory and privacy laws of Canada. This Privacy Policy reinforces our professional obligations for client confidentiality and describes in broad strokes how we gather, use, disclose, and protect the sensitive information of individuals and website visitors.
Personal Information
In Canada, 'personal information' is protected under the PIPEDA - Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. PIPEDA defines personal information to be any factual or subjective knowledge related to and concerning an identifiable individual. This includes things like age, ethnicity, income, social status, ID numbers, and credit records etc. We are accountable for the personal information in our possession under relevant privacy policy. We have put in place rules and procedures to safeguard personal information. As lawyers, it is our professional and ethical responsibility to not reveal our clients personal information. We are bound by rigorous confidentiality standards established by the Law Society of Ontario, which require us to keep any documents in our control of our clients totally confidential, and we may not be compelled to reveal them except in very rare circumstances. Furthermore, unless the privilege is properly waived or there is a legal obligation to divulge information, all communication with a lawyer is protected by solicitor-client confidentiality.
Limited Collection, Use, Disclosure, and Retention: We always try our best to gather any personal information directly from the individuals or through other lawful channels. In general, we limit the amount of personal information we collect, use, or disclose to that which is required and suitable to provide legal services to our clients.
E-mail Communications: We may send e-mails to subscribers or people in our contact database to inform them of legal developments, upcoming seminars or disseminate publications. If you do not want to receive future e-mails from Mian Hakeem Law Corporation for these purposes, each e-mail includes an opt-out feature and information on how to unsubscribe.
Online Communications - Visitors may voluntarily submit personal information to us when submitting an inquiry, subscribing to, or downloading newsletters, participating in surveys, or registering for events. This personal information is only used for purposes its being collected for.
Links - This website may include connections to other websites. When you link to another website, the owners of that website may collect your personal information as well as information generated using cookies. Mian Hakeem Law Corporation is not responsible for the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information by third parties. As a result, before giving them your personal information, you should review their privacy policies.
