Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Sanctum Law (referred to herein as "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects the personal information you provide when you contact us through our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Canadian privacy law.

1. Information We Collect

When you submit an inquiry through our website contact form, we collect the following personal information:

  • First name and last name
  • Email address
  • Service of interest (e.g., Criminal Law, Corporate Law, Immigration Law, Real Estate Law, Intellectual Property, AI & Law, International Law, IT & Startups, Wills & Estate Law, or Other)
  • The message or description of your legal matter that you choose to provide

We do not collect any additional personal information without your knowledge and consent.

2. Purpose of Collection

The personal information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about your legal matter
  • To assess how we may be able to assist you and determine whether a lawyer-client relationship may be established
  • To provide you with information about our legal services relevant to your area of interest
  • To comply with our professional and legal obligations as a law firm

We will not use your personal information for any purpose other than those described above without obtaining your prior consent.

3. Legal Basis and Consent

By submitting the contact form on our website, you expressly consent to the collection, use, and storage of your personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the information provided at the end of this Policy, subject to applicable legal or contractual restrictions.

4. Disclosure of Personal Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. Your information may be disclosed only in the following limited circumstances:

  • To lawyers and authorized staff within our firm who need access to respond to your inquiry
  • To service providers who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business, provided they agree to keep your information confidential
  • As required by law, court order, or regulatory authority
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of our firm, our clients, or others, as permitted by law

5. Solicitor-Client Privilege

Please be aware that submitting information through this website contact form does not establish a solicitor-client relationship. While we treat all inquiries with confidentiality, the full protections of solicitor-client privilege apply only once a formal lawyer-client relationship has been established. Do not include highly sensitive or confidential information in your initial inquiry.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law or our professional obligations. When your personal information is no longer required, it will be securely destroyed or anonymized.

7. Security of Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Secure, encrypted data transmission via HTTPS on our website
  • Access controls limiting who within our firm can view your information
  • Regular review of our information collection, storage, and processing practices

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Under PIPEDA and applicable Canadian privacy legislation, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal information
  • Withdraw your consent to our use of your personal information (subject to legal obligations)
  • Make a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe your privacy rights have been violated

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Privacy Officer using the contact details below.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before providing any personal information.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed of how we protect your information.
