Privacy Policy

Introduction
Rowley Entertainment Law (“we” or “us”) respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it by complying with this policy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and retain personal information in accordance with applicable federal Canadian and Ontario laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Law Society of Ontario. To the extent inconsistent with our lawyers’ professional obligations established by the Law Society of Ontario, this Privacy Policy is superseded by such obligations.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information about identifiable individuals, including clients, prospective clients, website users, and others we interact with.

Privacy laws in Canada generally define “personal information” as any information about an identifiable individual, which includes information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person.

Personal information does not include business contact information, including your name, title, or business contact information.

This policy applies to information we collect, use, or disclose about you:

  • On this Website; and

  • In email, text, and other electronic messages between you and this Website;

This Website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, or applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you. If you follow a link to a third-party website or engage a third-party plugin, please note that these third parties have their own privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. We do not control these third-party websites, and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

We obtain consent to collect, use, and disclose personal information, except where otherwise permitted or required by law. Consent may be express or implied.
