Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But since we're lawyers who deal with international trade and corporate matters all day, we figured we'd make ours straightforward and honest.
At Jorvath Enclave Legal, we handle sensitive corporate information daily. Your privacy isn't just a checkbox for us - it's fundamental to how we operate. This policy explains what info we collect, why we need it, and what we do with it.
We're based in Toronto and follow Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA primarily), but since we work with clients across borders, we also keep an eye on GDPR and other international standards. If something here doesn't make sense, just call us at (416) 555-0847.
When you reach out to us or become a client, we'll collect the basics: your name, company details, email, phone number, and business address. Pretty standard stuff.
Depending on what you need help with, we might collect corporate documents, financial records, trade agreements, IP documentation, or details about transactions and disputes. This is the meat of what we do - can't really advise on M&A without seeing the actual deal structure, y'know?
Our website collects technical stuff like IP addresses, browser type, pages you visit, and how long you hang around. We use this to improve the site and figure out what content actually matters to folks.
We keep records of our conversations - emails, meeting notes, calls (with your knowledge), and any documents you send us. This protects both of us and ensures we're on the same page.
We're not in the business of selling data or sending spam. Here's what we actually do with your information:
Everything we do has a legitimate purpose tied to providing quality legal services. We're not gonna use your M&A details to trade stocks or anything sketchy like that.
We don't share your information casually. When we do, it's for good reason:
Sometimes we'll need to share info with opposing counsel, government agencies, or other parties - but only when you've given us the green light or it's necessary for your representation.
We work with trusted vendors - cloud storage providers, accounting software, research databases, IT support. They're all bound by confidentiality agreements and only get access to what they need.
If we're legally required to disclose information (court orders, regulatory demands, Law Society investigations), we'll do so - but we'll let you know unless we're prohibited from doing so.
Occasionally we bring in specialists - foreign counsel for international matters, expert witnesses, accountants for complex transactions. They're bound by the same confidentiality standards we are.
Bottom line: your information stays within the circle of people who actually need it to get your legal work done right.
Given that we're dealing with sensitive corporate information and international trade secrets, security isn't optional. Here's what we've got in place:
No system is 100% bulletproof, but we're doing everything reasonably possible to keep your information locked down. If there's ever a security incident, we'll let you know promptly and work to contain it.
Yeah, we use cookies - not the edible kind, unfortunately. Here's the breakdown:
These keep the website functioning properly. They remember your session, preferences, and security settings. Can't really turn these off without breaking the site.
We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how people use our site. This helps us figure out what's useful and what needs improvement. These are anonymous and aggregated.
These remember your choices (like language preferences or form inputs) to make your experience smoother when you come back.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Just know that blocking everything might make the site less functional. We're not using any creepy third-party ad tracking or remarketing pixels - that's not our style.
Under Canadian privacy law (and various international regulations if you're outside Canada), you've got rights regarding your personal information:
You can ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide it in a readable format within 30 days.
If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it. Accurate info is important for good legal work anyway.
You can withdraw consent for certain uses of your data (like marketing emails), though we'll still need to keep info required for legal or regulatory reasons.
Where applicable, you can request your data in a format that lets you transfer it to another service provider.
You can object to certain uses of your data, though we might need to explain why we still need it for legitimate legal purposes.
If you're not happy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, just email us at counsel@jorvathenclave.info or call. We'll verify your identity (gotta make sure we're not giving your info to some random person) and then process your request.
We don't keep your information forever, but we can't just delete everything the moment a matter closes either. Here's our approach:
While we're working together, we keep all relevant information accessible and up-to-date. Pretty straightforward.
After a matter wraps up, we typically retain files for 10 years. This is partly professional obligation (Law Society requirements) and partly practical - sometimes issues resurface years later, and having the historical record is crucial.
Accounting and billing records stick around for 7 years minimum, per Canadian tax law requirements.
If you're on our newsletter list but not a client, we'll keep your contact info until you unsubscribe or after 3 years of inactivity.
Once retention periods expire, we securely delete or destroy the information. Some stuff might stick around in backup systems for a bit longer, but it's not actively accessible.
Since we specialize in international trade and cross-border transactions, sometimes your data might need to cross borders too. Here's the deal:
Most of our data stays in Canada, stored with Canadian cloud providers. However, when we're working on international matters, we might need to share information with foreign counsel, regulatory bodies, or other parties in different jurisdictions.
We're careful about where data goes. When transferring information internationally, we:
If you're concerned about data leaving Canada, talk to us. We can usually work around it or find alternative approaches that keep you comfortable.
Privacy laws evolve, our practices improve, and technology changes - so this policy isn't set in stone. When we make significant changes, we'll:
Minor tweaks (fixing typos, clarifying existing practices, updating contact info) won't trigger the full notification process, but we'll still update the date.
If you keep using our services after changes take effect, we'll consider that acceptance of the updated policy. If you're not cool with changes, let's have a conversation about it.
Got questions about this policy or how we handle your information? Don't just wonder - reach out. We'd rather answer questions than have you worrying about your data.
