1. Scope and accountability
This policy applies to personal information managed by miamisportbet.com through this website, initial enquiries and the delivery of legal services. We aim to handle personal information in a manner consistent with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), where applicable, and other applicable federal and provincial privacy requirements. The precise law that applies depends on the activity, organization and location involved.
A designated privacy contact oversees our practices. Legal files may also be subject to professional duties, solicitor-client privilege, court rules and legal retention obligations.
2. Information we collect
We collect only information reasonably needed for identified purposes. Depending on your interaction with us, this may include:
- name, telephone number, email, mailing address and preferred contact method;
- information you provide in an enquiry or during a conflict check;
- identity, business, financial, employment, property or family information relevant to a legal mandate;
- correspondence, instructions, records and documents supplied by a client or authorized third party; and
- limited technical information such as browser type, pages requested, approximate location derived from an IP address and cookie preferences.
Please do not submit confidential details through the website form. Contacting us does not establish a lawyer-client relationship.
3. Purposes, consent and lawful handling
We may use personal information to respond to requests, conduct conflict checks, evaluate whether we can accept a mandate, provide and administer legal services, communicate with clients, process accounts, secure our systems, satisfy professional obligations and comply with law. We identify purposes at or before collection, unless a new use is authorized or required by law.
Consent may be express or implied depending on the sensitivity of the information and the circumstances. You may withdraw consent to future use, subject to legal, contractual and professional restrictions. Withdrawal may affect our ability to respond or provide a requested service.
4. When information may be disclosed
We do not sell personal information. Where appropriate and permitted, information may be disclosed to courts, tribunals, opposing parties, experts, agents, service providers, insurers, regulators or other participants in a legal matter. We may also disclose information when authorized by you, required by law, necessary to collect an account, or reasonably needed to protect rights and security.
Service providers may process information on our behalf for hosting, communications, document management or professional support. We seek appropriate contractual and organizational safeguards. Processing outside Canada may make information subject to lawful access in another jurisdiction.
5. Safeguards and retention
We use administrative, physical and technical measures proportionate to the sensitivity of the information, including access controls, staff practices and secure systems. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed absolutely secure.
We retain information only as long as reasonably required for the identified purposes and as necessary to meet legal, insurance and professional obligations. We then securely destroy or anonymize it, subject to permitted archival practices.
6. Access, correction, cookies and complaints
You may request access to personal information we hold about you and ask that inaccurate or incomplete information be corrected. Access may be limited where permitted or required by law, including where privilege or another person’s privacy is involved. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
This site may use essential storage to remember your cookie preference and maintain basic functionality. If optional analytics are introduced, we will provide appropriate notice and choice. Browser settings can also restrict storage, although this may affect site functions.
If you have a concern, please contact us first so we can review it. You may also have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or an applicable provincial privacy authority.
