Website Privacy Policy Zābo Law Professional Corporation zabolaw.ca Effective Date: January 2026
Before you read the full policy, here is what it covers. It explains what personal information we collect when you use zabolaw.ca, how we use it, and your choices. The most important thing to know upfront: submitting information through this website does not make us your lawyers. A formal engagement begins only when you have a signed engagement letter in place.
1. About This Policy. Zābo Law Professional Corporation ("Zābo Law," "we," "us," or "our") takes the privacy of your personal information seriously. This Website Privacy Policy (the "Policy") explains how we collect, use, share, retain, and protect personal information in connection with zabolaw.ca (the "Website"). Zābo Law is a law firm providing business legal services in Ontario, Canada, including contracts, business entity matters, trademarks, and general legal counsel. By using the Website or submitting information through it, you confirm that you have read this Policy.
2. What This Policy Covers. This Policy applies to personal information collected through the Website. It does not apply to information collected during a formal lawyer-client, solicitor-client, or retainer relationship, which is governed by separate engagement terms and professional obligations. This Website is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older and is not directed to children under 18.
3. A Note About Website Submissions. The Website and its forms are for general inquiries and discovery call requests only. Please do not submit sensitive, confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive information through the Website. Information sent through contact forms is not intended for confidential communications. Submitting information through the Website, contacting us, or requesting a discovery call does not create a lawyer-client relationship, a solicitor-client relationship, a retainer relationship, or any duty on our part to provide legal services. No such relationship exists unless and until Zābo Law has agreed to act and a written engagement letter or retainer agreement has been signed.
4. Information We Collect. We may collect the following personal information through Website forms: your name and email address, your business name, and a general description of your legal concerns or the reason for requesting a discovery call. We may also receive any other information you choose to include in a message or form submission. We may also collect limited technical information automatically as part of ordinary Website hosting, delivery, and security functions, such as system-generated logs maintained by hosting or infrastructure providers. We do not currently use this technical information for analytics or advertising purposes.
5. How We Collect Information. We collect personal information directly from you when you provide it through the Website, including when you submit a contact or inquiry form, request or book a discovery call, ask us to get in touch with you, or sign up to receive marketing or informational emails where that option is offered.
6. How We Use Personal Information. We may use personal information collected through the Website to review and respond to your inquiry, to schedule and manage discovery calls, to determine whether your inquiry fits our practice areas, to communicate with you about your request or our services, to send marketing or informational emails where permitted and consistent with your consent choices, to maintain Website security and integrity, to protect our legal rights and meet our legal, regulatory, ethical, and professional obligations, and for other purposes permitted or required by applicable law. We collect, use, and share personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws and professional obligations, which may include acting on your consent, responding to your request, operating the Website, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
7. Marketing Emails. Zābo Law may send marketing, updates, or informational emails to people who have asked to receive them or where otherwise permitted under applicable law. Where required, we will get appropriate consent before sending commercial electronic messages. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us at hello@zabolaw.ca. Even after unsubscribing from marketing, we may still contact you to respond to a specific inquiry you started or for other non-marketing administrative or legal reasons.
8. Cookies and Similar Technologies. Zābo Law does not currently use analytics or advertising trackers on the Website. The Website may use cookies or similar technologies in the future for functional, performance, security, or user-experience purposes. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help websites function, remember preferences, and improve performance. If our cookie practices change, we will update this Policy and, where appropriate, provide additional notice or consent options. Any update will describe the types of cookies used, the purposes for using them, whether any third-party cookies are involved, and the choices available to you.
9. Sharing Personal Information. Zābo Law does not sell personal information collected through the Website. We do not share personal information with third parties except in narrow circumstances: where sharing is required or authorized by law, where necessary to respond to legal process or regulatory requirements, where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, property, security, or the safety of others, where needed to meet professional, legal, or compliance obligations, or where limited sharing with a service provider is reasonably necessary to operate the Website, manage communications, host data, or support basic business functions, and that provider is expected to handle the information appropriately.
10. Cross-Border Processing. Personal information collected through the Website may be processed or stored in countries other than Canada, and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, regulators, or other authorities in those jurisdictions under their local laws. By using the Website and submitting personal information, you acknowledge that cross-border processing may occur. Where we use service providers that process information outside Canada, we expect them to handle personal information in a manner appropriate to its sensitivity.
11. How Long We Keep Your Information. We keep personal information collected through the Website only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to respond to your inquiry, manage communications and discovery call requests, maintain appropriate business and legal records, meet legal, regulatory, ethical, and professional obligations, and resolve disputes or enforce our rights. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, whether further communications occur, and our legal or professional responsibilities.
12. Security. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, modification, and destruction. That said, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage system is completely secure. You should avoid sending confidential, privileged, or highly sensitive information through the Website, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted online.
13. Your Choices and Access Rights. We expect you to provide accurate and current information when contacting us through the Website. Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information we hold about you, correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information, and information about our privacy practices. In some circumstances, we may be unable to provide access or make a requested change, including where legal, ethical, regulatory, or professional obligations limit what we can disclose or amend. If that happens, we will respond as required under applicable law.

15. Third-Party Websites. The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services. This Policy applies only to zabolaw.ca and not to any third-party sites, which have their own terms and privacy practices. If you follow a link to another site or use an external service connected to the Website, review that third party's privacy policy before submitting personal information.
16. Children's Privacy. The Website is not intended for children under 18 years of age, and Zābo Law does not knowingly collect personal information through the Website from anyone under 18. If you believe a child under 18 has submitted personal information through the Website, contact us at hello@zabolaw.ca so we can review and address the matter.
