Privacy Policy

Protecting your privacy and personal information is important to us. As part of this commitment, we provide this notice explaining our management practices for the personal information we collect through our website. This privacy statement covers the scope of usage of this ABT Legal Website and provides details about the information collected from you.

For the purpose of processing your requests and transactions, we gather certain personal details from you when you register or signup for any service, including the use of a consultation form and e-mails. This information may be used to contact you directly when required and to assess your case. The personal information we collect will not be disclosed in ways to which you have not consented, as may otherwise be requested by law, or where we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and property. We do not sell, rent, or loan any personal information. In addition, we occasionally produce and distribute marketing materials concerning our services and developments in the law. However, in most cases, it will be reserved for contacting you and managing your case file.

By submitting personal information to us on our website, you agree that we may collect, use, and disclose such personal information in accordance with this privacy policy and as permitted or required by law. We may collect information about you through information sent directly to us, from our web server logs, and through cookies. The primary use for this information is to provide a more personalized experience. If you do not agree with these terms, do not provide any personal information to us. If you choose to refuse or withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with services normally offered by us. Sometimes, your consent may be accepted orally or implied through your conduct or retainer with us.

The types of personal information we may collect about you include your name and contact information, billing information, and case-related legal matter information. We ask that you do not send any sensitive personally identifiable information such as your Social Insurance Number, mother’s maiden name, date of birth, or credit card information through our website. If you do so, it will be at your own risk and ABT Legal is not liable for any consequences of that submission. We may also gather information that is automatically stored by cookies and other session tools. For example, your IP address, your visiting history (when you first came to our website, your last time on our website, the pages you visited, how you found our website) etc. This information is used to improve your customer experience. When you use our services or look at the contents of our website, this information is saved. We might gather information about you that is publicly available, for example your social media profiles, website, firm address, etc.

We implement standard safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of your personal information collected through our website. Unfortunately, no system is fail-proof and data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we do not represent, warrant, or guarantee the security of any personal information transmitted to us through our website or that the personal information will be protected against disclosure, misuse, or alteration and we do not accept any liability for personal information submitted to us.

You may view your personal information by contacting the owner in writing. You may also request corrections where necessary. In some circumstances, in order to prevent security, legal, or confidentiality issues upon disclosure, we may deny requests to view your records.

Information regarding users’ traffic patterns may be automatically collected and linked to their IP address. In the event of a security breach, we may cooperate with Internet Service Providers to identify an individual using the website. Cookies are small data files that are sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard-drive when you visit certain websites in order to “track” your visit to the site. ABT Legal may, from time to time, collect non-personal information about you and your use of the site though the use of cookies. Some browsers can be set to reject all cookies.

In the normal course of establishing and maintaining internet connections, our servers automatically log information about visits to our website. Server logs record statistical information, such as a visitor’s IP address and type of operating system, the time and duration of visit and web pages requested. The server logs also identify categories of visitors by items such as domain and browser type. These statistics are reported in aggregate form to us and are used to improve our website and ensure that it provides the optimal online experience for visitors.

Our website may present links to other websites. You should be aware that operators of linked websites may also collect your personal information and information generated through the use of cookies when you visit their websites. ABT Legal is not responsible for how such third parties collect, use, or disclose your personal information, so it is important to review their privacy policies before providing them with your personal information.

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time, with the amended version posted at the same location.
