Privacy Policy
Overview
This policy explains how Lexovanta LLP ("Lexovanta," "we," "us") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information in connection with our website. We are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial legislation.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email, company, and message content when you submit a contact or consultation request, and limited technical and analytics information collected through cookies, described in our Cookie Policy.
How we use information
We use personal information to respond to inquiries, evaluate potential engagements, communicate with existing clients, and, for those who opt in, send occasional legal insights. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
This website does not create an attorney-client relationship
Submitting a contact form or email does not, on its own, create an attorney-client relationship with Lexovanta. Any information you share before a formal engagement is confirmed should not be treated as confidential until we have agreed to represent you. See our Legal Disclaimer for more detail.
Consent
We collect and use personal information with your knowledge and consent, except where an exception under PIPEDA applies, such as information necessary to establish or manage a legal engagement. You may withdraw consent for optional communications, such as our newsletter, at any time.
How we share information
We share personal information with service providers who help operate our website, such as hosting and email delivery providers, under agreements limiting their use of the information. We may disclose information where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights of Lexovanta or others.
Storage and cross-border transfer
Personal information may be stored and processed on servers located in Canada or other jurisdictions, including the United States, through our hosting providers. Information processed outside Canada may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.
Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, meet legal and professional obligations (including record-keeping obligations applicable to law firms), and resolve disputes.
How we protect information
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold, including access controls and encryption where appropriate. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Your rights and choices
Under PIPEDA, you may request access to personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct inaccurate information. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, including the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. Contact us using the details below to exercise these rights, and we will respond in accordance with applicable law.
Children's privacy
Our website is intended for business use and is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
