PRIVACY POLICY

Last Revised: June 14, 2026

Daniel Brown Law LLP (“Daniel Brown Law,” “the firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of the personal information entrusted to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information in the course of operating our website and providing legal services. We handle personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and our professional obligations under the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Law Society of Ontario.

SCOPE OF THIS POLICY

This Policy applies to personal information collected through our website at www.danielbrownlaw.ca, by email or telephone, and in the course of our retainer with clients. It applies to information about website visitors, prospective clients, clients, and other individuals who interact with the firm.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect personal information that you choose to provide and certain information collected automatically when you use our website. Information you provide includes your name, email address, telephone number, and the details of your legal matter when you complete a contact form, request a consultation, or communicate with us by email or telephone. Information collected automatically includes your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring website, collected through standard web-analytics tools to help us understand and improve site performance.

HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use personal information to respond to your inquiries and assess whether we can assist with your legal matter; to perform a conflict-of-interest check before accepting a retainer; to provide legal services and communicate with you about your matter; to administer, maintain, and improve our website; and to meet our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND SOLICITOR-CLIENT PRIVILEGE

Information you share with the firm in seeking or receiving legal advice is protected by solicitor-client privilege and by our professional duty of confidentiality, which are among the most stringent protections recognized in Canadian law. Please note that contacting the firm through this website does not, on its own, create a solicitor-client relationship. A solicitor-client relationship is established only once we have completed a conflict check and both you and the firm have agreed in writing to a retainer. Until then, please avoid sending confidential or time-sensitive details through the website contact form.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may disclose personal information only with your consent, or as reasonably necessary to provide legal services on your behalf; to service providers who support our operations (for example, website hosting and security providers) under obligations of confidentiality; or where required or permitted by law, court order, or the rules and orders of the Law Society of Ontario.

WEBSITE ANALYTICS

Our website uses standard analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its performance. These tools may collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you view. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent, although some parts of the site may not function properly if cookies are disabled. Our website is delivered through a content-delivery and security network that processes limited technical data to protect the site against malicious traffic.

RETENTION

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to provide legal services, and to meet our professional, legal, and regulatory obligations, including the file-retention requirements of the Law Society of Ontario. When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely destroy, erase, or anonymize it.

SAFEGUARDS

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information to protect personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. While we take reasonable steps to protect information transmitted to us, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information sent through the website.

YOUR RIGHTS

Subject to legal and professional limitations, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, and to withdraw consent to certain uses of your information. Some information, including privileged or confidential information relating to other clients, may be exempt from access. To make a request, please contact us using the details below.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Revised” date above indicates when it was last revised. Material changes will be posted on this page.
