Fosters Law LLP has always been committed to the privacy of all of our clients.

We have established this privacy policy to let you know how your personal information is processed and used. The following discloses our privacy policy for our website at https://fosterslaw.ca.

What information are we collecting and how are we collecting it?

Every device connected to the Internet is given a set of numbers that serve as that device’s “Internet Protocol” address also known as its IP address. We do not identify individual visitors to our website other than by their IP address. When a visitor requests a page from within our site, our web servers automatically recognize that visitor’s IP address. The IP address reveals nothing personal about you other than the IP address from where you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate and to investigate misuse of our site, its users, or to co-operate with law enforcement. We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other websites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to identify which areas of our site you have visited or customized so the next time you visit; those pages may be readily accessible. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our site and other websites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.

How do we use single-pixel gifs?

We may use single-pixel gif images, sometimes referred to as web bugs or web beacons, to count web page accesses and gather some general statistical information. We do not gather personal information through the use of these images.

What information do we collect when you register for something?

We may offer access to some services that are free but that require registration, such as a newsletter. We may use your registration and pre-registration contact information to send notification of products and services by e-mail and/or postal mail. We also may share that information with our partners. We may also use your IP address internally for the sole purpose of sending you information about our services.

What other information do we request and do we collect?

We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services such as:  subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists, information about conferences and trade shows, or other products and services.  We may collect any information that you have entered. We maintain a strict “No-Spam” policy that means that we will not sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party without your consent. You will have the ability to opt-out of mailings at any time by selecting the “Unsubscribe” link within email mailings.

We do not engage in the practice of selling, renting, or sharing our customer lists or customer information to third parties. Exceptions include release of information that is required by law, which is pertinent to legal investigations or proceedings, which we believe is relevant to illegal activities, fraud, or threats, and which may be relevant if we are acquired by or merged with another company.

Will we disclose the information we collect to outside third parties?

We will disclose personal information and/or an IP address when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  1. Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on our site.
  2. Protect and defend the rights or property of our site and related properties, or visitors to our site and related properties,
  3. Identify persons who may be violating the law, our legal notice and website User Agreement, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing our site or its related properties,
  4. Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.

We use reasonable precautions to keep the information disclosed to us secure. Furthermore, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third parties that receive the information. We are not responsible for such third party privacy policies or how they treat information about their users.

What should you know about changes and links?

We may update or change this privacy policy at any time and such changes will become effective immediately unless otherwise stated. Our website will state the date of the most recent update.

Please note that this site may contain links to other sites and that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those sites.
