Got questions about your data? We're here to help - no appointment needed.

Introduction

The no-nonsense version of what this is all about

Look, we get it - privacy policies are usually about as exciting as watching paint dry. But here's the thing: your data matters, and we're not gonna dance around that fact.

At Lumareth Veilcore Legal, we've spent years helping companies navigate data privacy laws, so we definitely practice what we preach. This policy lays out exactly what info we grab when you visit our site or reach out to us, what we do with it, and how you can control it.

We're based in Vancouver, BC, so Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA, for those keeping score) are our baseline. But we've also baked in protections that'd make even the EU's GDPR folks nod approvingly. Bottom line? We treat your data the way we'd want ours treated.

What We Collect

When you fill out our contact form or send us an email, we're gonna collect stuff like:

  • Your name (obviously)
  • Email address
  • Phone number (if you wanna chat)
  • Company name & position
  • Whatever you tell us in your message

We only ask for what we actually need. No sneaky "optional" fields that aren't really optional.

Yeah, we collect some technical stuff automatically when you browse around. It's pretty standard:

Technical Data
  • IP address
  • Browser type & version
  • Device info
  • Operating system
Usage Data
  • Pages you visit
  • Time spent on site
  • Referral source
  • Click patterns

If you become a client (welcome aboard!), we'll obviously need more detailed info to actually do our job. This includes stuff related to your legal matter, corporate docs, IP portfolios, contracts - you know, the actual work.

All of this falls under solicitor-client privilege, which means we take protecting it seriously. Like, really seriously. We've got ethical and legal obligations here that go way beyond standard data protection.

How We Use It

We're not in the business of selling your data or doing anything sketchy. Here's what we actually use your info for:

Communication

Responding to your inquiries, scheduling consultations, keeping you updated on your matters

Legal Services

Actually providing the legal work you hired us for - kinda important

Site Improvement

Making our website better based on how people actually use it

Updates & News

Sending relevant legal updates or firm news (only if you've opted in)

Legal Compliance

Meeting our professional obligations as lawyers and complying with regulations

Security

Protecting our systems and your data from unauthorized access

Sharing & Disclosure

We don't sell your data. Period. But sometimes we need to share it with others to get our work done:

  • Service Providers: Think cloud storage, email services, case management software. They help us run our practice efficiently.
  • Expert Consultants: Sometimes we bring in specialists for complex IP or tech matters. They're bound by confidentiality too.
  • Other Parties to Your Matter: Courts, opposing counsel, regulatory bodies - whoever's involved in your legal work.
  • Professional Advisors: Our own accountants, insurers, and legal advisors when necessary.

Everyone we work with signs proper confidentiality agreements. No exceptions.

Look, if we get a valid court order or subpoena, we've gotta comply. That's just how the legal system works. We'll push back on overly broad requests, but at the end of the day, we're lawyers - we follow the law.

We might also disclose info if we genuinely believe it's necessary to prevent harm or protect someone's safety. That's rare, but it happens.

If we merge with another firm or sell our practice (not planning on it, but you never know), your info would transfer as part of that. We'd let you know ahead of time, and the new folks would be bound by the same privacy commitments.

Cookies & Tracking

Yeah, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are small files that help our site work properly and remember your preferences.

Cookie Type Purpose Duration
Essential Make the site actually work - can't be disabled Session
Functional Remember your settings and preferences 1 year
Analytics Help us understand how people use the site 2 years
Marketing Track effectiveness of our outreach (if you've consented) 1 year
Your Choice: You can block cookies in your browser settings. Just know that some parts of the site might not work as smoothly.

Security Measures

We're lawyers who specialize in tech and data privacy, so yeah, we take security seriously. Here's what we've got in place:

Encryption

SSL/TLS for all data transmission. Your info is encrypted both in transit and at rest.

Access Controls

Multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions, regular access reviews.

Secure Infrastructure

Enterprise-grade cloud hosting with regular backups and disaster recovery plans.
