Purposes and Consent

Jones & Co. collects and uses your personal information to provide you with the services that you request and to facilitate payment. We also collect the personal information of individuals that we meet or who contact us and who we consider may be interested in receiving commentary on developments in the law from us, or receiving information regarding our services. If you do not wish us to use your personal information for marketing or update purposes, please let us know.

This web site may use "cookies", small text files inserted on your computer to identify your computer as you view our web site, in order to provide you with an enhanced e-commerce experience. However such cookies are never linked to your personal information.

By providing us with your personal information you are deemed to have consented to our using it for the purposes described above.

Types of Personal Information Collected

Other than the information that we collect to facilitate payment, Jones & Co. collects and uses contact information and information about preferences with respect to our legal services or interests so that we may provide individuals with news and updates that most interest them. We also collect information that helps us to remember where we first made contact with an individual.

Disclosure to Related Organizations

Generally we do not disclose personal information to third parties without the consent of the individual. However there are exceptions:

1. From time to time we use third party sub-contractors to provide certain services, such as our IT services provider. While your personal information is disclosed to such parties, they are required to comply with our privacy policy and not use or retain your personal information for their own purposes.
2. If Jones & Co. in whole or in part, merges with another law firm, your personal information will be transferred to the new law firm along with the rest of the assets, provided that the new law firm either agrees to abide by the then existing Privacy Policy of Jones & Co., or agrees to notify you forthwith about any proposed changes to the privacy policy and allows you an opportunity to request that your personal information be deleted.
3. We will disclose your personal information without your consent as required by law or permitted by Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. For further information on these exceptions please visit this web site: www.privcom.gc.ca.

Changes to Our Policies

Nothing lasts forever, and we anticipate that at some time in the future it may be necessary to make changes to our Privacy Policy. If in our opinion acting reasonably such changes will allow us to make materially greater use or disclosure of your personal information, we will notify all active clients and contacts of the changes. Such clients and contacts will then have an opportunity to withdraw their consent to the collection, use or disclosure of their personal information.
