Chohan Law Professional Corporation (“Chohan Law PC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website,www.chohanlaw.ca (the "Site"), and of our clients and prospective clients. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information, in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Ontario law.

By using the Site, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy.

1. What Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal information:

Information you provide directly:

  • Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address

  • Information submitted through contact forms or intake forms

  • Details you provide about your legal matter when seeking a consultation

  • Email address and preferences if you subscribe to our newsletter

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as details of your legal matter) through the Site unless you voluntarily provide it, and we do not collect confidential information through unsecured contact forms (see the note on confidentiality below).

2. A Note on Confidentiality

Submitting information through our contact form or email does not create a lawyer-client relationship and does not guarantee confidentiality. Please do not send sensitive or confidential details about your legal matter until we have formally agreed to represent you. See our Terms of Use for more information.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information for purposes such as:

  • Responding to inquiries and consultation requests

  • Providing legal services to clients (once a lawyer-client relationship is established)

  • Sending newsletters or updates, where you have subscribed

  • Improving the Site’s content, usability, and performance

  • Complying with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations (e.g., Law Society of Ontario requirements)

  • Detecting, preventing, and addressing fraud, security, or technical issues

We will only use your personal information for the purpose(s) for which it was collected, unless we obtain your consent to use it for another purpose or are required or permitted by law to do so.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share your information with:

  • Service providers who assist us in operating the Site or our practice (e.g., IT support, email/newsletter platforms, case management software), under obligations to protect your information

  • Legal or regulatory authorities, where required by law, court order, or the Law Society of Ontario

  • Other parties involved in your matter, but only with your consent and as necessary to provide legal services

5. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Personal information may be stored on servers located in Canada or, where third-party service providers are used, in other jurisdictions such as the United States, which may be subject to that jurisdiction’s laws.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and understand where our visitors come from. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect the functionality of the Site.

7. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

  • Access the personal information we hold about you

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information

  • Withdraw consent for the use of your information (subject to legal or contractual restrictions)

  • Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 10 below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

9. Retention of Information
