This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect through our Website. It does not apply to information collected once a formal lawyer-client relationship has been established, which is governed by solicitor-client privilege and our retainer agreement.

4. Consent

By using our Website, you signify your consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In some cases, your consent may be “implied,” meaning that we assume your consent where the purpose for collecting, using, or disclosing your personal information would be considered obvious and you voluntarily provide the information for that purpose. In other cases, we may seek your “express” consent.
You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, by contacting us at info@freedomfamilylaw.ca.

7. How We Share Your Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information. We will only share your personal information in the following circumstances:

* Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our Website, conducting our business, or servicing you (e.g., website hosting, email services, analytics providers, live chat providers, online scheduling tools). These providers are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

* Legal Requirements: We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

8. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers may be located outside of Canada (e.g., in the United States). As a result, your personal information may be transferred, stored, and processed in countries outside of Canada. While your information is in another jurisdiction, it may be accessed by the courts, law enforcement, and national security authorities of that jurisdiction. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any international transfer of personal information is subject to appropriate safeguards.
9. Data Security

We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes the use of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to encrypt information transmitted through our Website. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information collected through the Website only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable law (including Law Society requirements).
