We have implemented the following privacy policy in order to protect personal information which is disclosed to us or produced by us on behalf of clients:

Our Office protects personal information in accordance with the requirements of Canada’s Protection of Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act which sets out standards pertaining to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in the Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information. Our Office applies the ten principles of the Model Code as follows:
