Privacy Policy: Dimeski Law ("Dimeski Law" or “the Firm”) recognizes the importance of privacy and the sensitivity of personal information. This Privacy Policy affirms our commitment to maintaining the privacy of personal information provided to us by our clients and others, and outlines how we handle the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. As lawyers we are committed by Rules of Professional Conduct to keep confidential all information we receive within a lawyer-client relationship. In addition all Canadian businesses engaged in commercial activities, including lawyers and law firms, must comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or other substantially similar provincial legislation. PIPEDA gives Canadians rights concerning the privacy of personal information. The terms of this policy accord with PIPEDA and other applicable privacy legislation. Personal information is any information that identifies an individual, or which allows an individual to be identified. It does not include the name, business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization. Dimeski Law offers and provides legal services and information to a wide range of clients, including unions, their members, employees, and professionals. We need to collect, use and disclose personal information to provide legal services and information, to meet our professional obligations as lawyers and to manage our business. We collect personal information directly from clients, where possible, at the start of a retainer and in the course of our representation. In the course of representation we may also obtain information from other sources. We use personal information to provide legal advice and services to clients; to fulfill our professional responsibilities, including conflict checks; to administer billing; to develop and use our knowledge management and precedent systems; to deliver information about our services or developments in the law and for any other purposes to which clients or others expressly consent. Dimeski Law does not disclose personal information to any third parties to enable them to market their products and services. Submitting personal information to Dimeski Law grants us permission to collect, use and disclose such personal information in accordance with this privacy policy, and as permitted or required by law. However, at times we may ask for express consent, either verbally or in writing. Data Residency: information and records shared with Dimeski Law is stored on our servers which are stored on servers in the USA. Under certain circumstances, Dimeski Law will disclose personal information: -when we are required or authorized by law to do so, for example if a tribunal, arbitrator or court issues a subpoena; -when we have consent to make the disclosure; -when the legal services we are providing require us to give a client's information to third parties, consent will be implied, unless a client tell us otherwise; -where it is necessary to establish or collect fees; -if we engage a third party to provide administrative services to us (for example, computer back-up services, internet-based storage or archival file storage), in which case we will ensure that the third party respects the privacy rights and obligations set out in this policy; -if we engage expert witnesses on behalf of a client; -if we retain other law firms at a client's request, and on their behalf. -It is important that the information in our files be accurate and up-to-date. Clients are encouraged to inform us if their information changes during the course of the retainer so we can update our records. -Upon request in accordance with PIPEDA, we will provide access to personal information, unless the information is subject to solicitor-client privilege or other legal restrictions on disclosure. -If Dimeski Law holds personal information about clients or others who can establish that it is not accurate, complete and up-to-date, Dimeski Law will take reasonable steps to correct it. Dimeski Law takes all reasonable precautions to ensure that personal information is kept safe from loss, unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. Among the steps taken to protect personal information are: • physically securing our premises; • deploying technological safeguards such as security software and firewalls to prevent unauthorized access to our electronic records; • using internal password and security policies; • entering into contractual arrangements to maintain the security and confidentiality of information provided to third party service providers; • requiring our email and internet-based service providers to meet the most widely recognized and accepted independent security standards for systems, technology, processes, and data centers, including ISO27001 certification; and While no data transmission (including over the Internet or any website) can be guaranteed to be secure from intrusion, we implement commercially reasonable physical, technical and procedural measures to help protect personal data from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction in accordance with data protection law requirements.
