Privacy policy

At Pape Salter Teillet LLP (PST), we’re committed to safeguarding your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. The following policy describes how we collect, handle and protect personal information obtained through your interactions with pstlaw.ca.

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to collect limited data that helps us understand usage patterns and improve site functionality. These tools have strict controls to ensure that any data collected remains anonymous and is not used to identify individual visitors. We may also log IP addresses for security purposes, such as detecting unauthorized access or potential threats to our systems.

The only personal information PST gathers through our website is that which you voluntarily provide – for example, when submitting an application or request for information. This personal data is used solely for the purpose for which it was provided and is treated as confidential. We do not sell or trade personal information. And while we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted over the internet, we take all reasonable precautions to protect your information.

Our privacy practices are guided by Canadian privacy laws and the ethical obligations of the legal profession, including those set by the Law Society of Ontario. These obligations require us to maintain strict confidentiality in all client matters – a standard that is reflected in this privacy policy.

PST has implemented a comprehensive approach to managing personal information responsibly and securely. This includes training our staff on privacy responsibilities and the importance of confidentiality; establishing internal protocols for the secure collection, handling and use of personal data; implementing physical and digital safeguards, such as restricted access to data and password-protected systems; and ensuring that any third-party service providers granted access to personal information adhere to privacy and confidentiality standards consistent with our own.

In the event of a data breach involving personal information, PST will act promptly and in accordance with applicable privacy legislation. Our response will include containing the breach; assessing its scope and impact; notifying affected individuals and relevant regulatory authorities, where required by law; taking corrective measures to prevent recurrence, including reviewing and updating internal policies and security practices; and documenting the incident and our response to ensure transparency and accountability. We’re committed to minimizing harm and ensuring that any breach is addressed with urgency and care.

By submitting personal information through our website, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this privacy policy.

You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information held by PST. You may also withdraw your consent to our use of your data at any time. To make such requests, please contact us at info@pstlaw.ca. By submitting personal information through our website, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this privacy policy.

This privacy policy may be updated periodically. Any changes will be posted on our website. If you have questions about this policy and how we manage personal information, or if you wish to raise a concern, please contact our Privacy Officer:
