Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Commitment

MK Law Firm recognizes the importance of privacy and the sensitivity of personal information. As personal injury lawyers in Toronto, we have a professional obligation to keep confidential all information we receive within a lawyer-client relationship. We are committed to protecting any personal information we hold. This Privacy Policy outlines how we manage your personal information and safeguard your privacy.

From January 1, 2004, all businesses engaged in commercial activities must comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information, which it incorporates. These obligations extend to lawyers and toronto personal injury law firms, including MK Law Firm. The Act gives you rights concerning the privacy of your personal information. MK Law Firm is responsible for the personal information we collect and hold.

Accountability

To ensure this accountability, we have developed this policy, and trained our lawyers and support staff about our policies and practices. MK Law Firm provides personal injury legal services to a wide range of clients across Toronto and Canada. In doing so, it produces direct marketing materials concerning its services and developments in the law.

Identifying Purposes

Personal Information is any information that identifies you, or by which your identity could be deduced. If we did not collect and use your personal information, we could not provide you with personal injury legal services. We collect information only by lawful and fair means, and not in an unreasonably intrusive way. Wherever possible we collect your personal information directly from you, both at the start of a retainer and in the course of our representation. Sometimes we may obtain information about you from other sources, including but not limited to, for example: opposing parties, witnesses, experts, and other third parties relevant to your matter.

Consent

We collect, use, and disclose your personal information only with your knowledge and consent, except where otherwise required or permitted by law.

Limiting Collection

We collect only the personal information necessary to provide you with personal injury legal services. We collect information by fair and lawful means.

Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention

We use your personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected. We disclose your information only as follows:

  • If we engage a third party to provide administrative services to us (like computer back-up services or archival file storage) and the third party is bound by our privacy policy
  • If the information is Publicly Available Personal Information, as it is defined under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act

Accuracy

Since we use your personal information to provide personal injury legal services to you, it is important that the information be accurate and up-to-date. If during the course of the retainer, any of your information changes, please inform us so that we can make any necessary changes.

Safeguards

MK Law Firm takes all reasonable precautions to ensure that your personal information is kept safe from loss, unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. Among the steps taken to protect your information are:
