At JSS Law Professional Corporation, we are committed to safeguarding the personal information entrusted to us by our clients, website visitors, and anyone who interacts with our firm. Protecting your privacy is not only a legal obligation under Canadian privacy laws but also a core principle of our professional responsibility as licensed lawyers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information, as well as the measures we take to maintain its security.
Our practices comply with applicable federal and provincial privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). These legal standards reinforce, but do not replace, our professional duty to maintain strict confidentiality.
Under Canadian law, personal information refers to any data that can identify an individual. Examples include, but are not limited to:
Home address and personal contact details
Passport, immigration, or identification information
Financial records
Employment and educational credentials
Any data that could reasonably identify a specific person
Note: General business contact information, such as work emails, job titles, or business addresses, is not considered personal information.
All documents, communications, and information shared with us during legal consultations or case management are treated with the highest level of confidentiality. Personal information is only disclosed when required by law, requested by government authorities, or authorized by the client.
We collect personal information directly from clients and, when permitted, from authorized third parties. Collection is always conducted in a transparent, fair, and lawful manner.
We use personal information solely for purposes including:
Providing legal services and professional guidance
Preparing applications for immigration, visas, or other regulatory processes
Meeting compliance or regulatory obligations
Responding to inquiries, consultations, or client requests
Managing client files, billing, and administrative tasks
Sharing relevant updates, policy changes, or firm announcements
Personal information is retained only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected and in accordance with legal or regulatory requirements. Once no longer needed, information is securely deleted, destroyed, or anonymized.
Website visitors may voluntarily provide information when booking consultations, downloading resources, subscribing to newsletters, or submitting forms. Information collected online is used exclusively for the stated purpose, unless additional consent is obtained.
For clients who have previously engaged with JSS Law Professional Corporation, we may combine new information with existing records to enhance service and communication.
We may send newsletters, updates, or announcements from time to time. Every email includes an easy unsubscribe option, and we promptly respect all unsubscribe requests. We do not send unsolicited marketing messages.
Our website may contain links to external websites. These third-party platforms operate independently and may have different privacy practices. JSS Law Professional Corporation is not responsible for the content, data collection, or privacy practices of external sites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites they access.
We implement administrative, physical, and technological safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Measures include secure systems, encrypted storage, restricted access, and regular monitoring. While we take all reasonable precautions, no digital transmission or storage method is completely risk-free.
Clients or visitors with questions about this policy, or who wish to access, update, or correct their personal information, can contact us directly. We take all privacy concerns seriously and respond promptly and professionally.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the relevant provincial privacy authority for further assistance.
