We take your privacy seriously, and we're transparent about how we handle your information.

Look, we get it - nobody really enjoys reading privacy policies. But since we're lawyers who work at the intersection of tech and corporate law, we figured we should make ours actually readable and honest about what's going on with your data.
At Glaive Nexus Core Legal, we're not just saying we care about your privacy because it's the law (though yeah, that's part of it). We genuinely believe that when you reach out to us about sensitive business matters, IP concerns, or corporate deals, you deserve to know exactly what happens with the information you share.
This policy covers our website, client portal, email communications, and any other digital touchpoints. If something here doesn't make sense or you've got questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We've probably explained this stuff to clients a hundred times, and we're happy to do it again.
Here's the deal with what information we collect and why:
We're not selling your data to random third parties or doing anything sketchy. Here's what we actually do with it:
This is the big one. We use your info to actually do the legal work you're hiring us for - whether that's drafting contracts, handling M&A deals, or protecting your IP.
Responding to your inquiries, sending updates about your matters, sharing relevant legal insights, and generally keeping you in the loop.
Processing payments, managing client accounts, keeping our books straight for tax purposes and regulatory compliance.
Analyzing trends to understand what clients need, making our website better, and developing new practice areas where there's demand.
Sometimes we're required by law to keep certain records or report specific information. Lawyers have professional obligations, and we take 'em seriously.
Sending newsletters, legal updates, and info about our services - but only if you've opted in. You can opt out anytime.
We're pretty protective of your information, but there are some situations where we need to share it. Here's the honest rundown:
We work with third-party vendors who help us run our practice - think cloud storage providers, payment processors, IT support, and accounting software. These folks sign confidentiality agreements and only get access to what they need to do their job.
Sometimes we need to consult with other lawyers, accountants, insurance advisors, or experts. This happens with your consent or when it's necessary to provide you with competent representation.
If we're legally required to disclose information - like through a court order, subpoena, or regulatory investigation - we'll do so. But we'll let you know first unless we're prohibited from doing that.
If you ask us to share information with someone (like opposing counsel in a deal, potential investors, or business partners), we'll do that. We'll usually get your explicit okay first.
As a tech-focused law firm, we take data security pretty seriously. Here's what we've got in place:
We use industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission. Your information's encrypted both in transit and at rest.
Multi-factor authentication, role-based access, and strict password policies. Only authorized personnel can access client data.
We use Canadian-based, secure cloud services with regular backups and disaster recovery plans in place.
Secure document management systems with audit trails, version control, and controlled sharing capabilities.
We keep our systems patched and updated, conduct regular security assessments, and stay current with best practices.
Everyone on our team receives regular training on data protection, privacy obligations, and security protocols.
Under Canadian privacy law, you've got some important rights when it comes to your personal information. Here's what you can do:
You can ask us what personal info we have about you. We'll give you a copy, though there might be some exceptions (like if it contains info about other people or is subject to privilege).
If something we have on file is wrong, let us know and we'll fix it. Keeping accurate records is important for legal work, so we appreciate the heads up.
For things like marketing emails or optional data collection, you can withdraw your consent anytime. Just shoot us an email or hit the unsubscribe link.
You can ask us to delete your information, but there's a catch - as lawyers, we're required to keep certain records for specific periods. We'll delete what we legally can.
Want to take your data elsewhere? We can provide it in a structured, commonly used format where technically feasible.
If you think we've mishandled your personal information, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. We'd prefer you talk to us first so we can sort it out, but it's your right.
