Privacy Policy

Postell Law respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information entrusted to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit our website, contact our firm, or engage us for legal services.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with Postell Law, we may collect personal information such as:

  • Your name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address;
  • Information you provide through our website contact or consultation forms;
  • Information you provide when communicating with us by email, telephone, or otherwise;
  • Information necessary to provide legal services, including information relating to your legal matter;
  • Billing, payment, and transaction information; and
  • Technical information relating to your use of our website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and website usage information where applicable.

We seek to limit the collection of personal information to what is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it is collected. This reflects the privacy principle that organizations should limit collection to information needed for identified purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

Postell Law may use personal information to:

  • Respond to inquiries and consultation requests;
  • Determine whether we are able to assist you with a legal matter;
  • Provide and administer legal services;
  • Communicate with clients and prospective clients;
  • Manage billing, payments, records, and administrative matters;
  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website and services;
  • Meet professional, regulatory, insurance, accounting, and legal obligations; and
  • Protect the rights, property, security, and interests of Postell Law, our clients, and others.

 

We will not use personal information for an unrelated purpose without obtaining appropriate consent unless otherwise permitted or required by law.

3. Consent

Where consent is required, Postell Law seeks to obtain meaningful consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.

By voluntarily providing personal information to us, you consent to its collection, use, and disclosure for the purposes communicated to you or otherwise permitted by law.

Consent may be withdrawn in appropriate circumstances, subject to legal, professional, contractual, and other restrictions. Canadian privacy guidance provides that meaningful consent generally requires people to understand what information is collected, why it is collected and how it may be used or disclosed.

4. Confidentiality and Legal Inquiries

Submitting information through this website or contacting Postell Law does not, by itself, create a lawyer-client relationship.

Please avoid sending confidential or sensitive information through the website unless you have been asked to do so by Postell Law.

When a lawyer-client relationship has been established, information received in connection with the representation will also be handled in accordance with applicable professional obligations concerning confidentiality and privilege.

5. Disclosure of Personal Information

Postell Law does not sell or rent your personal information.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Service providers that assist us with website hosting, technology, document management, accounting, payment processing, communications, or other business operations;
  • Other professionals or service providers involved in a client’s matter where authorized or appropriate;
  • Regulatory, governmental, law-enforcement, or other authorities where required or permitted by law; or
  • Other parties where you have provided consent or where disclosure is otherwise legally permitted.

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, reasonable steps are taken to ensure that the information is handled appropriately.

6. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, understand how visitors use it, improve functionality, and maintain security.

Some third-party services integrated into the website may also use cookies or collect technical information in accordance with their own privacy practices.

You may be able to control or disable certain cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the website.

Important: Keep this section only if it accurately describes the finished website. For example, if you install Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, reCAPTCHA or another tracking service, the policy should specifically account for those technologies. The Law Society of Ontario’s own website privacy statement, for example, expressly describes its use of Google Analytics and the information collected through it.

7. Protecting Your Information

Postell Law takes reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.

The level of protection used will depend on factors such as the sensitivity, amount, format, and storage of the information.

No electronic transmission or storage system, however, can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Appropriate safeguards based on the sensitivity of personal information are a core requirement under PIPEDA.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Postell Law may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our practices, services, technology, or applicable requirements.

The most recent version will be posted on this website with an updated revision date.
