Privacy Policy

What We Collect

Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, “personal Information” is information in any form which can be attributed to an identifiable individual, but does not include business contact information, such as your name, title or position, business address, telephone number, facsimile number, or email address. English for Lawyers Consulting Inc. (“EFL” or “we” or “us”) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, security and privacy of your Personal Information.

The only Personal Information that we collect is your email address, if you subscribe to receive our updates and provide your personal email address rather than your business email address.

For visitors to our website, we may use cookies to collect non-personal information such as the type of Internet browser and operating system used by you, the domain name of the website from which you came, the date and duration of your visit, number of visits, average time spent on our website, IP address associated with your computer, pages viewed and number of cookies accumulated. Cookies are small browser features stored on the hard-drive of your computer which are used to track and collect information concerning your visit to our Web site. This information is only used for the technical performance of the Web site (including but not limited to ensuring the security of the Web site).

How We Use Your Personal Information

We collect your email address to allow us to provide you with blog updates and other updates about our services, and for any other purpose to which you consent. 

We will not disclose your Personal Information to any third party to enable them to market their products and services. We may engage with unaffiliated third parties that are under contract to perform services for or on behalf of EFL ("Service Providers"), and are required to uphold and maintain policies with respect to privacy and the treatment of your Personal Information (e.g. Customer Relationship Management services). Any access to such information will be limited to the purpose for which such information was provided to us or our Service Providers. Service Providers are located throughout the world. Accordingly, your Personal Information may be stored in servers in countries which have a different level of privacy protection than Canada.

Use of Electronic Communications

If you subscribed to receive our updates, we will from time to time send you an email which includes our latest blog updates and other updates about EFL, some of which may be commercial in nature.  If you have not already provided us with such consent and wish to receive or continue to receive such communications from us, please feel free to contact us by email at myriam@englishforlawyers.ca. If you wish to withdraw your consent at any time please feel free to contact us by email at myriam@englishforlawyers.ca.

Security
We have reasonable security measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of Personal Information, but we make no assurances about our ability to prevent any such loss, misuse, to you or to any third party arising out of such loss, misuse, or alteration. However, due to the nature of the Internet, we cannot completely ensure or warrant the security of your Personal Information or any other data or information transmitted to us or through our services; therefore, submitting Personal Information, data or other information to us is done at your own risk.  We make no assurances about our ability to prevent any such loss or damage to you or to any other person, company or entity arising out of your use of our services and you agree that you are assuming such risks.

Changes to our Policy
We reserve the right, from time to time, to amend or change this Privacy Policy by posting such revisions to our Web site. Changes to the Privacy Policy shall be effective upon posting. In the event that any amendment affects the purpose(s) for which we collect, use or disclose your Personal Information, we will obtain any additional consent required from you under applicable privacy laws.
