1. Personal Information We Collect
 

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

• complete an initial consultation or contact form on our website;

• communicate with us by email, phone, or other electronic means; or

• engage with us to determine whether we can provide legal services.
   

This information may include:

• your name and contact details (such as email address and phone number);

• basic information needed to complete a conflicts check;

• information you choose to include in your message or inquiry.
   

We do not collect sensitive personal information unless it is voluntarily provided and reasonably necessary for assessing or providing legal services.

​

2. How We Use Your Information 

​

We use your personal information to:

• respond to your inquiries;

• communicate with you about our services;

• complete conflicts checks, as required by the Law Society of Ontario;

• determine whether we are able to provide limited-scope legal services;

• administer and deliver legal services where a Limited Scope Agreement is in place; and

• comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.
   

We do not use your personal information for marketing purposes unless you have expressly consented.

​

3. Limited-Scope Legal Services

​

LAWra Family Law provides unbundled, limited-scope family law services. Personal information collected before a Limited Scope Agreement is signed is used primarily to assess conflicts and suitability.

A solicitor-client relationship is established only after:

• conflicts have been cleared; and

• a written Limited Scope Agreement has been signed.

4. Disclosure of Personal Information

​

We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information.

We may disclose personal information only:

• where required or permitted by law;

• to comply with professional or regulatory obligations;

• to establish or collect fees;

• with your consent; or

• where necessary to provide legal services under an active Limited Scope Agreement.

 

Any third parties who assist us with administrative or technical services are required to protect personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

​

5. LAWra Inc. Platform and Third-Party Links

6. Data Security

​

We take reasonable physical, organizational, and technological steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure.
 

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. You should take care when sending personal information by email or through online forms.

​

7. Retention of Information
 

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to:

• fulfill the purposes for which it was collected; and

• comply with legal, regulatory, and professional record-keeping obligations.

​

8. Your Rights 

​

You have the right to:

• request access to your personal information;

• request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information; and

• withdraw consent to the use of your information, subject to legal and professional obligations.
   

In some cases, access may be restricted where information is protected by solicitor-client privilege or where disclosure is not permitted by law.
