Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 16, 2026

We're pretty serious about keeping your info safe. Here's the straight talk on how we handle your data.

Look, we get it - nobody actually reads these things. But since we're lawyers and we deal with sensitive business stuff every day, we figured we'd make this one worth your time.

At Flux Meridian Legal Services, we've been handling corporate matters for companies across Toronto and beyond since we opened our doors. Over the years, we've learned that trust isn't just about winning cases or closing deals - it's about respecting the information people share with us.

This policy explains what happens when you visit our website, reach out for a consultation, or become a client. We're not gonna bury important stuff in legal jargon. If something's confusing, that's on us - just give us a call at (416) 555-7829 and we'll explain it properly.

Quick Note: This policy applies to our website and general services. If you're a client with an active matter, you've probably got a separate engagement agreement that covers attorney-client privilege and confidentiality - that document takes precedence for those specifics.

Alright, let's break down what we're actually gathering when you interact with us:

Stuff You Tell Us Directly
  • Contact Info - Name, email, phone number, company name. Pretty standard stuff when you fill out our contact form or call us.
  • Business Details - What industry you're in, what kind of legal help you need, maybe some background on your company. Helps us figure out if we're the right fit.
  • Communication Records - Emails, meeting notes, consultation summaries. We keep track of conversations so we don't make you repeat yourself every time.
  • Payment Information - For clients, we'll need billing details. Though honestly, our payment processor handles most of the sensitive card data - we don't store that stuff on our end.
Technical Stuff We Collect Automatically
  • Website Usage - What pages you visit, how long you stick around, what device you're using. Standard analytics to help us make the site better.
  • IP Address & Location - We can see general location info (like what city you're browsing from). Nothing creepy, just helps us understand our audience.
  • Browser & Device Info - Browser type, operating system, screen size. Technical details that help us fix bugs and optimize the site.
For Current Clients: Obviously, if you're working with us on a legal matter, we're collecting a lot more - contracts, corporate documents, employment records, whatever's relevant to your case. That stuff falls under solicitor-client privilege and gets handled with way more security than what we're talking about here.

We're not in the business of selling data or spamming people. Here's what we actually do with your info:

Respond to Inquiries

When you reach out, we use your contact info to get back to you. Pretty obvious, but worth stating.

Provide Legal Services

For clients, we use your info to actually do the legal work - draft contracts, file documents, advise on compliance, whatever you hired us for.

Improve Our Services

Analytics help us figure out what's working and what's not. If everyone's bouncing off our M&A page, maybe we need to rewrite it.

Comply with Legal Obligations

Sometimes we're legally required to keep records or report certain things. Comes with the territory of being a law firm.

What We DON'T Do
  • We don't sell your information to third parties. Period.
  • We don't spam you with marketing emails unless you specifically asked for updates (and even then, you can unsubscribe anytime).
  • We don't share client information outside of what's necessary to provide legal services - and even then, only with your permission or when legally required.
  • We don't use your data for anything weird or unrelated to legal services.

Security's kinda our thing. We handle sensitive corporate information all the time, so we've got some decent measures in place:

Technical Safeguards

Our website uses SSL encryption (that's the little lock icon in your browser). All client communications go through encrypted channels. We've got firewalls, regular security updates, and we work with IT professionals who actually know what they're doing.

Physical Security

Our office at 2500 Bay Street has controlled access. Not everyone can just waltz in and look at files. Client documents are stored securely, and we've got policies about who can access what.

Staff Training

Everyone on our team knows the importance of confidentiality. We're all bound by professional obligations, and we take them seriously. New staff get trained on privacy practices from day one.

Reality Check: No system is 100% hack-proof. We do our best to keep things secure, but we can't guarantee absolute security. If there's ever a breach that affects your data, we'll let you know ASAP and tell you what steps to take.

Under Canadian privacy law (specifically PIPEDA and related provincial legislation), you've got some rights when it comes to your personal information. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Information

You can ask to see what personal data we have about you. We'll provide it within a reasonable timeframe, usually 30 days.

Correct Inaccuracies

If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it. We want accurate records too.

Request Deletion

You can ask us to delete your information. There are some exceptions (like if we're legally required to keep records), but we'll honor requests when we can.

Opt Out of Marketing

Don't want our occasional newsletter or updates? No hard feelings - just click unsubscribe or let us know.

Challenge Our Practices

If you think we're not handling your info properly, you can file a complaint with us or with the federal Privacy Commissioner.

To exercise any of these rights, shoot us an email at contact@fluxmeridian.info or call (416) 555-7829. We'll verify your identity (can't just give out info to anyone who asks) and take it from there.

Yeah, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. Here's the rundown:

Type of Cookie What It Does Can You Opt Out?
Essential Cookies Make the website actually work. Session management, security stuff. Not really - the site won't function without them.
Analytics Cookies Help us understand how people use the site. What pages are popular, where folks are coming from. Yeah, you can disable these in your browser settings.
Preference Cookies Remember your settings and choices so you don't have to keep re-entering them. Sure, but you'll have to reset preferences each visit.

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can block them entirely if you want, though it might make some parts of the site less functional. Here's where to find those settings in common browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies
  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
  • Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies

We don't operate in a vacuum. Sometimes we need to work with other companies or professionals to serve you properly. Here's who might see your information:

Service Providers

Cloud storage companies, email providers, payment processors, IT support. These folks have access to some data, but they're bound by confidentiality agreements and only use it for the specific services they provide to us.

Professional Partners

Sometimes cases require specialists - accountants, expert witnesses, co-counsel in other jurisdictions. We only share what's necessary and with your knowledge.

Legal Requirements

If we're served with a subpoena, court order, or other legal demand, we might have to disclose information. We'll fight it if we think it's improper, but sometimes our hands are tied.

Business Transfers

If we ever sell the firm or merge with another practice (not planning to, but you never know), your information would likely be part of that transfer. Any new owners would be bound by this privacy policy unless they give you notice of changes.

International Transfers: Most of our service providers are in Canada, but some might have servers or operations in the US or elsewhere. Those jurisdictions might have different privacy laws than Canada, but we choose providers who maintain strong security standards.

For clients with active matters, we'll send you direct notification of any changes that might affect how we handle your information.
