Your privacy matters to us
Look, we get it - privacy policies can be a slog. But here's the thing: at Pyrethion Crown Legal, we've been handling sensitive corporate and IP matters for years, and we know what it means to guard information like it's gold.
This policy lays out exactly what info we collect when you visit our site or work with us, how we use it, and what rights you've got under Canadian law (specifically PIPEDA - that's the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, if you wanna get technical).
We're not in the business of hoarding data for no reason. Here's what we actually collect and why:

We use these to understand how people use our site - which pages are popular, where folks are dropping off, that sort of thing. It helps us make the site better. We use anonymized data wherever possible.
These remember your preferences - like if you've already seen our cookie notice or what language you prefer. Makes for a smoother experience.

Fair warning: blocking cookies might make some parts of the site not work right.
We don't use any creepy ad-tracking stuff or sell your browsing data to third parties. That's not our scene.
Let's be crystal clear: we don't sell your information. Period. But there are some situations where we share data with third parties:
We work with trusted companies that help us run our practice:
All these providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and can only use your data for the specific services they provide to us.
Sometimes we're required by law to share information:

We'll always ask for your okay before sharing with these folks, except when it's necessary to provide the services you've hired us for.
