Privacy Policy.

Grigoras Law ("Company" or "we") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.

This policy supplements our professional obligations of client confidentiality and describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information of our clients, other individuals, and website users ("you"). It also describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you provide when you visit www.grigoraslaw.com (our "Website"), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

We will only use your personal information in accordance with this policy unless otherwise required by applicable law. We take steps to ensure that the personal information we collect is adequate, relevant, not excessive, and used for limited purposes.

Privacy laws in Canada generally define "personal information" as any information about an identifiable individual, including information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person. Personal information does not include business contact information such as your name, title, or business contact details.

What this policy applies to

This policy applies to information we collect, use, or disclose about our clients and Website users:

• on this Website; and
• in email, text, and other electronic messages between you and this Website.

The Website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, or applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you. Those third parties have their own privacy policies; we do not control them and do not accept responsibility for them. Please read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

This policy does not apply to information collected by:

• us offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by the Company or any third party;
• any third party through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Website.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices. If you do not agree with them, your choice is not to use our Website. By accessing or using this Website, you indicate that you understand, accept, and consent to the practices described in this policy. This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to this policy). Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted indicates that you accept and consent to those changes.

We collect and use several categories of information about you:

• Personal informationInformation we can reasonably use to directly or indirectly identify you: your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, Internet protocol (IP) address, user name or other similar identifier, billing and account information, information relevant to a client's legal matters and other information incidental to the provision of legal advice and services by our firm, and any other identifier we may use to contact you online or offline. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter or opt out of our mailing list at any time by accessing the Website or emailing info@grigoraslaw.com.
• Non-personal informationInformation that does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity or relate to an identified individual, such as demographic, statistical, or aggregated information. We may derive non-personal statistical or aggregated data from personal information; for example, we may aggregate personal information to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Website feature.
• Technical informationYour login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, information about your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website, and usage details.

Your User Contributions are posted and transmitted at your own risk.

Accessing and correcting your information

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes. By law, you have the right to request access to, and to correct, the personal information we hold about you.

To review, verify, correct, or withdraw consent to our use of your personal information, email us at info@grigoraslaw.com to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have provided. We may decline to accommodate a request to change information where we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

We may request specific information to help us confirm your identity and your right to access, and to provide you with the personal information we hold or make your requested changes. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse access to some or all of the personal information we hold, or we may have destroyed, erased, or anonymized that information under our record retention obligations and practices. If we cannot provide access, we will inform you of the reasons, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.

We will provide access to your personal information, subject to exceptions set out in applicable privacy legislation. Examples include:

• information protected by lawyer-client privilege;
• information that is part of a formal dispute resolution process;
• information about another individual that would reveal their personal information or confidential commercial information;
• information that is prohibitively expensive to provide.

If you are concerned about our response or wish to correct the information provided, contact our Privacy Officer at 1 King Street W., 48th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 1A1, or email info@grigoraslaw.com.

If you delete your User Contributions from the Website, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or may have been copied or stored by other users. Proper access and use of information provided on the Website, including User Contributions, is governed by our terms of use.

Withdrawing your consent

Where you have provided your consent to the collection, use, and transfer of your personal information, you may have the legal right to withdraw that consent under certain circumstances. To withdraw your consent, contact us at info@grigoraslaw.com. Please note that if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with a particular product or service; we will explain the impact to you at the time to help you with your decision.

Data security

The security of your personal information is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We store all information you provide to us behind firewalls on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you, or you have chosen, a password for access to certain parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping that password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website, such as message boards, which any visitor can view.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information transmitted to the Website. Any transmission is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

Data retention

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information so it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent.

Children under the age of 13

The Website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. No one under age 13 may provide any information to or on the Website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
