Jaswal Law is committed to keeping our clients' information confidential, consistent with our obligations as professionals.  Our confidentiality obligations as a law firm are governed by the Rules of Professional Conduct as set out by the Law Society of Ontario. In addition, our Privacy Policy has been developed to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”).

In certain circumstances, PIPEDA provides that we may disclose your personal information without your consent. Such circumstances include: where required by law or by order of a court or tribunal; where the information is used for the purpose of collecting a debt owed to Jaswal Law; where the personal information is requested by a government institution to enforce any law; where we believe that the personal information relates to a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province or territory that has been, is being or is about to be committed; and in the case of an emergency that threatens the life, health or security of an individual. In such circumstances, we will not disclose more information than is reasonably necessary.

We do not employ any electronic means to automatically collect personal information from any visitor or user of our site or from their computers.

We may collect e-mail and mailing addresses in order to distribute publications prepared by Jaswal Law and notifications of upcoming seminars or events that we believe may be of interest to you.

Due to the nature of the internet, however, no data transmission over the internet is fully secure. Please be aware of this before you send us any information through this website as Jaswal Law cannot guarantee that any information that you transmit to us will not be intercepted and/or misused by third parties.
