Privacy policy

Last updated:

We respect your privacy and follow Canada’s privacy law (PIPEDA). This page explains what we collect and why.

What we collect

Only what you choose to tell us, for example when you email us, call us, message us on WhatsApp, or meet with us. This can include your name, your contact details, and information about your case.

This website

  • No cookies, no ads, and no tracking.
  • If you choose a light or dark theme, only your browser remembers it.
  • Our web host (Google) keeps basic technical logs, such as IP addresses, to keep the site safe and working.
  • We use Google for email and to host this website. Google may store information outside Canada, for example in the United States, where that country’s laws apply. If you message us on WhatsApp, the message goes through WhatsApp (Meta) under its own privacy policy.
  • The reviews on our home page are public Google reviews. They show the name and photo the person uses on Google.

Google Maps

The map on our home page is from Google and only loads if you choose to show it. Google may then use cookies and collect information, such as your IP address, under its own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy (opens in a new tab).

How we use and protect your information

We use your information to answer you, to work on your case, and to follow the rules of the Law Society of Ontario. We never sell your information. We keep it safe and private. We keep client files for as long as the Law Society and the law require.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or withdraw your consent, within legal and professional limits. David Menendez is responsible for privacy at Menendez Law.
