Skeggs Paciocco Lawyers LLP (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
This notice applies to all personal information as that term is defined in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, SC 2000, c 5 (“PIPEDA”). The information collected may include:
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect payment information or sensitive personal data through this website.
We use the information you submit to:
We do not use your information for marketing purposes without your consent.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We will not share the information you submit through our contact form with third parties, except:
Contact form submissions are transmitted to us by email and stored in our internal systems. We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Certain AI software or cloud-based services may involve limited cross-border transfers of personal information to other jurisdictions for processing. In such circumstances, we implement contractual and technical safeguards designed to ensure that the level of protection is comparable to that required by Canadian privacy legislation.
Please do not send confidential or sensitive information through our contact form. A solicitor-client relationship is only established once we have agreed in writing to act on your behalf.
Cookies – When an individual visitor accesses the Skeggs Paciocco Lawyers LLP website, we may use a browser feature called a ‘cookie’ to collect information such as the type of internet browser and operating system the visitor uses, the domain name of the website from which the visitor came, date and duration of the visit, number of visits, average time spent on our website, pages viewed and number of cookies accumulated. A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that identifies the visitor’s browser, but not necessarily the visitor, to our computers each time our website is visited. Unless a visitor specifically informs us (e.g. by registering for an event or sending us correspondence from the website), we will not know who the individual visitors are. In addition to the identified purposes described in our Privacy Policy, we may use this website information and share it with other organizations with whom we have a commercial relationship to measure the use of our website, to improve the functionality and content of the website and to facilitate usage by a visitor.
Links – Our website may contain links to other websites which are provided as a convenience only. Visitors are advised that other third-party websites may have different privacy policies and practices than Skeggs Paciocco Lawyers LLP, and we have no responsibility for such third-party websites.
Under Canadian privacy law (including PIPEDA), you may have the right to access, update, rectify and correct inaccuracies in your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw your consent to our collection, use and disclosure of personal information (subject to legal and contractual restrictions). You may also request that we cease dissemination of your personal information or de-index your personal information where we are required to do so by applicable law.
To exercise these rights, please send a written request to us, using the contact information as set out in the Contact Us section below.
Such requests will be processed subject to exceptions under applicable privacy legislation. Examples of such exceptions include information protected by solicitor-client privilege; information generated in the course of a formal dispute resolution process; information about another individual where disclosure would reveal confidential commercial information; or information disclosed to the police or other lawful authorities where we are required to withhold disclosure.
We retain contact form submissions only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry or as required by our professional obligations and applicable law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with the date of last update.
