At Ghalyai Law, we are committed to protecting the privacy and confidential information of our clients that we collect, use and disclose in the course of providing legal services and operating our law firm.  We have a professional and ethical obligation to maintain such information in confidence.  This privacy policy describes our commitment to upholding such standards and sets out our practices relating to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information provided to us. 

Broadly defined, personal information is any information that relates to an identifiable individual, such as an individual’s name, gender, age, home address or phone number, but it does not include a client’s business contact information, title, business telephone or fax number.

We collect, use and disclose personal information for the purpose of enabling us to provide our clients with professional legal services and representation, and to contact and bill our clients.

The collection of personal information is limited to only that which is necessary for these purposes. We do not use personal information to sell to direct marketing agencies or provide it to anyone outside the firm.

Our staff are trained to collect and use personal information only as necessary to perform their duties in accordance with our privacy policy.  We destroy paper information by shredding, electronic information by deletion and, when hardware is discarded, we ensure that it is destroyed.

As practicing lawyers, we are subject to professional and ethical obligations and we do not disclose personal information subject to solicitor-client privilege unless the privilege is lawfully waived or we are required by law to do so.

Should you have any concerns with the manner in which we carry out our privacy policy, we encourage you to contact us.  We will investigate all complaints and provide a timely written response.  Should a complaint be found to be justified, we will take appropriate measures to resolve the matter to your satisfaction.
