Privacy Policy
Acheampong Law PC respects your privacy and aims to handle personal information responsibly, transparently, and with appropriate safeguards. Where applicable, the firm’s privacy practices are intended to reflect requirements under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable privacy, professional, and legal obligations.
Information we may collect
Depending on how you use this website and which tools are enabled, we may collect information such as:
- your name, email address, telephone number, and other contact details;
- the general nature of a legal inquiry and information you choose to provide through a contact or consultation form;
- communications you send to the firm;
- technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, referring page, and website usage data where analytics or security tools are enabled; and
- cookie or similar technology information where those tools are used.
Why we collect information
Personal information may be collected and used to respond to inquiries, assess whether the firm may be able to assist, complete preliminary conflicts or service checks, schedule communications, provide requested legal or notarial services after a matter is accepted, operate and secure the website, improve website performance, and meet legal or professional obligations.
Consent and limiting collection
We aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary for the identified purpose. Where consent is required, we will seek consent in a form appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information. Please do not send confidential documents, identification numbers, medical records, financial account information, or other highly sensitive information through a general website form unless the firm has confirmed a secure method for doing so.
Service providers and disclosures
The firm may use third-party service providers for website hosting, email, document management, scheduling, analytics, security, client intake, CRM, or related business functions. Information may be processed by those providers only as necessary to perform services for the firm, subject to applicable contractual, legal, and professional requirements. Personal information may also be disclosed where required or permitted by law, court order, regulatory obligation, or professional responsibility requirements.
Storage and retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by legal, regulatory, professional, insurance, accounting, or record-retention obligations. The location and duration of storage will depend on the systems actually used by the firm.
Safeguards
Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are used to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Cookies and analytics
If the final website uses analytics, advertising, performance, or preference cookies, the privacy notice and consent controls should identify those tools and explain their purpose. Non-essential tracking should not be enabled without the form of consent required by applicable law and the firm’s final privacy configuration.
Access, correction, and privacy questions
Subject to applicable law and professional obligations, individuals may ask about personal information held by the firm and request access to or correction of that information. Privacy questions or concerns may be directed to info@acheamponglaw.com.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the firm’s practices, website tools, or legal requirements change. The effective date of the published policy should be shown when the final version is approved.
