1. Scope and accountability
This policy explains how paraspolymersindia.com (“we,” “our” or “the firm”) collects, uses, discloses and protects personal information through this website and in preliminary communications. We are responsible for personal information under our control and designate a privacy contact to oversee our practices.
Our practices are guided, as applicable, by Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Quebec’s private-sector privacy legislation and other applicable provincial professional and privacy requirements. The law that applies depends on the circumstances. This policy does not overstate or limit rights granted by law.
2. Information we collect
We may collect information that you choose to provide, including your name, email address, telephone number, the content of an enquiry and subsequent correspondence. If a professional relationship is considered, we may request information needed for conflict checks, identity verification, service delivery and legal or regulatory obligations.
Our website may also produce limited technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page and basic usage events. We use local browser storage only to retain your cookie-consent selection. Please do not submit confidential or highly sensitive information through the website form.
3. Purposes for use
We use personal information to respond to enquiries; assess whether we can assist; conduct conflict and eligibility checks; arrange consultations; administer and secure our website; maintain appropriate records; comply with professional, legal and regulatory duties; and manage a legal-services relationship where one is separately established.
We limit collection to information reasonably required for identified purposes. We will not use personal information for a materially different purpose without appropriate notice or consent unless the law permits or requires it.
4. Consent, service providers and disclosure
We seek meaningful consent where required. Consent may be express or implied depending on the sensitivity of the information and reasonable expectations. You may withdraw consent, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.
We may provide limited information to service providers that support hosting, information technology, records management and professional operations. They are expected to protect it and use it only for authorized purposes. Information may also be disclosed where authorized or required by law, to protect legal rights, or in connection with a proposed business reorganization subject to appropriate safeguards. We do not sell personal information.
Some providers may process information outside Quebec or Canada, where it can be subject to foreign laws. We consider appropriate safeguards and legal requirements before such transfers.
5. Safeguards and retention
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity, amount, format and location of personal information. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described, professional record-keeping, dispute management and legal obligations. It is then securely deleted, destroyed or anonymized in accordance with applicable requirements.
6. Access, correction and questions
Subject to lawful exceptions, you may ask whether we hold personal information about you, request access to it, or ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information. Quebec residents may have additional rights under applicable law, including rights relating to withdrawal of consent, computerized personal information and certain automated decisions, where applicable.
We may need to verify identity before processing a request. We will respond within timeframes required by law or explain any lawful refusal. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec, as appropriate.
7. External links and children
This site may link to third-party services. Their privacy practices are their own, and we encourage you to review their policies. This website is intended for adults seeking information about legal services and is not directed to children.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our practices or legal obligations change. The current version will be posted here with a revised effective date. Material changes will be highlighted where appropriate.
