Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 5, 2025

At Innovatsi, we are committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of our clients, their customers, and visitors to our website, Innovatsi.com. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information in compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws in Canada, such as British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). As a marketing agency serving law firms, we prioritize transparency and security in all data-handling practices.

  • Our website, Innovatsi.com.
  • Digital marketing services (e.g., email campaigns, social media advertising).
  • Website development and analytics services for law firm clients.
  • Client interactions (e.g., consultations, contracts).

“Personal information” refers to any information about an identifiable individual, such as names, email addresses, or IP addresses, as defined by PIPEDA.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when necessary to provide our services, with your consent, or as required by law. The types of information we may collect include:

  • Contact Information: Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or mailing addresses provided by clients or website visitors (e.g., via contact forms or account registration).

  • Website Usage Data: IP addresses, browser types, device information, and analytics data (e.g., via cookies or Google Analytics) to improve our website and services.
  • Professional Information: Business details from law firm clients (e.g., firm name, practice areas) for service delivery.

3. How We Collect Information

We collect personal information through:

  • Direct Interactions: When you submit forms, sign contracts, or communicate with us (e.g., via email or phone).

  • Personalize user experiences on Innovatsi.com or client websites.
  • Comply with legal obligations, such as tax reporting or anti-spam laws.
  • Conduct analytics to enhance our services and client outcomes (e.g., campaign performance tracking).

We do not use personal information for purposes other than those disclosed unless we obtain your consent or are required by law.

  • Agreements with law firm clients for data processing.
  • Cookie consent banners on our website.

You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us (see Section 10), subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Withdrawal does not affect prior lawful processing.

6. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may disclose personal information:

  • To third-party service providers (e.g., hosting providers, analytics platforms) under strict confidentiality agreements to deliver our services.
  • To law firm clients when processing their customer data for marketing campaigns, with appropriate consents in place.
  • As required by law, such as in response to a court order or regulatory request.
  • To protect Innovatsi’s rights, safety, or property (e.g., in fraud investigations).

All third parties are contractually obligated to comply with PIPEDA and safeguard your data.

7. Data Security

We protect personal information with industry-standard measures, including:

  • Encryption (e.g., SSL/TLS for website data transmission).
  • Access controls and secure storage systems.
  • Regular security audits and updates to our systems.
  • Staff training on privacy and data protection.

Despite these measures, no system is completely secure. We promptly address any data breaches and notify affected individuals as required by PIPEDA.
