Information & Privacy

There are many laws in Canada that impact privacy and the protection of personal information. A number of local, provincial, and federal agencies regulate compliance with those laws. Most businesses are subject to any number of them. It’s important that our clients understand what is required of them.

Having worked with a broad range of clients whose businesses fall under local, provincial, and federal regulations, the EKB team has extensive experience ensuring our clients adhere to the rights and obligations surrounding privacy.

We have experience helping clients respond to information requests in a way that adheres to privacy laws. We understand and advise clients on their obligations regarding the collection and use of personal information, whether in relation to employees or in the context of a commercial activity.

We understand that the world has and is continuing to embrace the use of electronic documents. We help our clients understand the unique requirements that the law demands for their proper use.

Each of our corporate clients must have a plan in place to deal with privacy issues. We work to ensure their plans comply with local, provincial, or federal rules, as applicable.
