Privacy Policy  

“Personal Information” means any information about an identifiable individual or information that can be used to identify an individual. This includes information recorded in any form, whether electronic, written, or verbal.

This Policy does not apply to:

business contact information used solely for professional communication,

aggregated data that cannot identify an individual, or

information about corporations or other organizations.



We may collect Personal Information from you when:

• determining whether to enter into a professional relationship,
• providing legal services, or
• communicating with you through our website, by phone, email, or in person.

The types of Personal Information we may collect include, but are not limited to:

• your name, address, phone number, and email address;
• identification details required to verify your identity;
• financial and payment information;
• information about your family, employment, property, or other personal circumstances
• relevant to your legal matter;
• information obtained from third parties such as accountants, other lawyers, courts,
• government agencies, or publicly available sources.

We use and disclose Personal Information only for purposes related to the delivery of legal services, including:

• establishing and managing our relationship with you;
• verifying your identity and meeting our legal obligations (e.g., client intake forms and
• anti–money laundering requirements);
• billing and accounting;
• providing legal advice, representation, and related services;
• communicating with you about your matter or other legal developments;
• maintaining internal records;
• complying with professional, regulatory, and insurance obligations;
• responding to lawful requests from courts, tribunals, or regulatory authorities; and
• any other purpose to which you have consented, or as required or permitted by law.

We do not sell or rent Personal Information to third parties.

We may share Personal Information with trusted service providers (for example, for IT or accounting support), provided they agree to maintain confidentiality and protect your information.

Allen Law PC collects only the Personal Information necessary for the purposes identified above.

We retain client files and related Personal Information for 15 years following the conclusion of a matter, unless a longer retention period is required by law or professional regulation. After that time, files are securely destroyed or deleted in accordance with our records management policy.

When Personal Information is no longer required, it is securely destroyed, deleted, or anonymized.



When you visit our website or communicate with us electronically, we may collect limited technical information (such as your IP address or browser type) to improve functionality and security.

We may also use cookies or similar tools for analytical purposes. You can adjust your browser settings to disable cookies, although this may affect website performance.

We may send newsletters, legal updates, or event invitations to clients and contacts who have opted in to receive them. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the link in our communications or contacting us directly.



By providing Personal Information to Allen Law PC, you consent to its collection, use, and disclosure as outlined in this Policy.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Please note that withdrawing consent may limit our ability to continue providing legal services.



We maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect Personal Information against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure.

Personal Information may be stored electronically or in hard copy form, in secure facilities or trusted third-party systems located in Canada. If information is stored or accessed outside Ontario, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.



We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Personal Information we hold is accurate and current.

You may request access to your Personal Information or ask for corrections by contacting us in writing. We may require proof of identity before granting access. Access may be restricted in limited circumstances (for example, where the information is subject to solicitor–client privilege).
