Ontario Privacy Policies

Who Needs One?

If your website or app is collecting information about your users, then you need to have a privacy policy in place. This includes information your users give you through forms (for example, names and e-mail addresses), but also includes information that your website may be collecting automatically (for example, user information being collected for analytics purposes). Most analytics services, including Google Analytics, require you to have a privacy policy in place.

Privacy law differs between jurisdictions, and it’s important to make sure that your privacy policy complies with Ontario law. That’s why it’s important that you work with a privacy lawyer in Ontario that can prepare one that is unique for your business. Your privacy policy should be customized to ensure that it accurately reflects the information that you’re collecting, and what you do with that information.

Collection, Use and Disclosure

Your privacy policy needs to address certain fundamental issues of the information you collect, including:

1. How the information is collected.
2. What the information you collect can be used for.
3. Who the information can be disclosed to.
4. What efforts you make to safeguard the information.
5. How your customers or users can access and make changes to their information.

Privacy policies need to be customized for your website or app in order to ensure your business is in compliance with local privacy law. When you work with a privacy lawyer in Toronto, we ensure that your privacy policy will be applicable for your business and compliant with Ontario law.
