Privacy Policy
At Williams Armstrong Law Practice (“Williams Armstrong LP”), accessible at www.williamsarmstrong.com), we are committed to protecting the Privacy of our clients and people in compliance with the relevant Privacy Laws. This Policy sets out essential information on how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. “Client,” “you” and “your” refer to you concerning your use of this website. “We” or “us” or “our” refer to Williams Armstrong LP.
Williams Armstrong LP may collect and process certain information about our clients as permitted by law or consented to by our clients, as the case may be. This information may include personal information about clients, i.e. identifying information such as their name, contact information, address, and identification documents (the “Personal Information”).
We collect information to provide required legal services and information, communicate with clients, confirm their identity, check for conflicts of interest, improve our services and business, and comply with our legal, regulatory, professional and risk management obligations. In any event, the amount and type of personal information collected would be restricted to what is necessary to meet the purpose for which the information was collected.
While providing legal services or about legal issues, developments, or matters, we may also collect personal information about members of the public. If you do not consent to the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information as contained in this policy, please do not provide your personal information to Williams Armstrong LP. This may affect our ability to provide you with full legal services.
Williams Armstrong LP will not share personal information with third parties except:
- According to the instructions of clients to provide them with legal services;
- With the explicit consent of clients;
- For the provision of services by third parties for the benefit of clients where such third parties shall also be under an obligation to protect the personal information;
- When required by our professional bodies and professional liability insurers, and
- When required by law or regulatory requirements, with the consent of clients or other parties or further to a court order.
Williams Armstrong LP will treat your information as private and confidential and implement reasonable security measures and precautions to secure your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Some personal information may be processed outside Canada if third-party service providers are engaged there. Personal information will be stored for as long as reasonably necessary to meet the purpose of collection and to comply with our legal, professional, and regulatory obligations.
Williams Armstrong LP may use virtual identity verification tools from time to time to comply with our professional obligations with our regulators. Such tools may require you to upload your identity documents and scan your facial features. They may also process your information to verify your identity and issue a report. Once the report is received, we will verify the results and use and retain the report in compliance with this Privacy Policy.
Under applicable Canadian Privacy Laws, you have the right to reasonable access to the personal information we hold about you (except information containing personal information of other individuals or subject to privilege). You may also request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete information, or we may take reasonable steps to correct them where necessary. We may require your proof of identification to process your request to delete or correct your personal information.
