1. Information We Collect

We collect Information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our services, when you participate in activities on the Website, or otherwise contact us.

    • Direct Information: Name, corporate affiliation, email address, phone number, and physical address.

    • Project & Legal Data: Property addresses, architectural drawings, municipal notices, provincial offence charges, financial details for acquisitions, and any other documentation provided during the “Project Brief” or consultation phases.

Automatically Collected Information: When you visit amcanpro.ca, we automatically collect certain information about your device and usage through Google Analytics and site tags. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and engagement metrics.

 

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal and project-specific information collected to direct our internal teams (engineering, architectural, and legal) and to execute our services effectively. Specifically, we use your data to:

    • Improve our website functionality and user experience.

    • Assess project feasibility and conduct internal expert reviews.

    • Schedule initial Zoom consultations and physical site visits.

    • Draft official action plans, legal defenses, or acquisition strategies.

    • Communicate with you regarding project updates, urgent legal responses, and billing.

3. Strict Confidentiality & Legal Privilege

Due to the nature of our work involving the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT), provincial offences, distressed properties, and strategic acquisitions, confidentiality is our foundational principle.

    • Initial Inquiries: All communications, project details, and strategic discussions are kept strictly private and confidential from your very first point of contact.

    • Solicitor-Client Privilege: Where you formally retain our specialized in-house legal counsel for representation, applicable information will be further protected by strict solicitor-client privilege.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We only share your information under the following precise circumstances:

    • Municipal & Regulatory Bodies: With your explicit consent and authorization, we will share necessary project details with municipalities, regional governments, and Conservation Authorities to secure permits, resolve violations, or advance development applications on your behalf.

    • Trusted Subcontractors: On rare occasions, we may share specific site data with verified third-party contractors (e.g., specialized testing labs) required to complete an environmental or geotechnical assessment. These parties are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

    • Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard physical, organizational, and technological security measures to protect your Personal Information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. Client files and legal documents are stored on secure, encrypted servers, and physical copies are kept in highly restricted access areas.

 

6. Retention of Data

We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or legal requirements).

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to: 

    • Request access to the Personal Information we hold about you. 

    • Request that we correct any inaccuracies in your Personal Information. 

    • Withdraw your consent for our collection, use, or disclosure of your data at any time (subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice).
