We at LITN offer legal news in a variety of countries around the world. As a paralegal, I am strongly committed to respecting your rights and obeying the law – explaining your privacy and data protection rights is important to me.
In this statement, we explain generally how LITN protects your personal information. A statement like this is only an overview of your rights and our commitments. You will find more detail in the linked pages about privacy rights in the information that follows.
LITN (Canada) (“Law in the News Media (LITN)“, “we“, “us” and “our“) is an independent entity. This is the Privacy Policy of LITN Canada, which describes how it processes Personal Information. Other LITN entities are present in different countries and have separate privacy policies that explain their practices.
Consistent with our obligations as professionals, we are dedicated to maintaining high standards of confidentiality and security. LITN Canada follows certain privacy principles to help ensure the confidentiality of the Personal Information we hold.
This Privacy Policy informs you of how we collect, use and disclose Personal Information.
The Privacy Statement above is about the rights of individuals. While we are also committed to protecting information about companies and other businesses we act for, this policy is not about them.
We may also get personal information about individuals when acting on behalf of businesses.
We may also need to share your data with the courts or the government, if the law requires.
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, please ask us – we will tell you unless the law prevents us doing so.
If you ask us for marketing material or attend an event, we will keep your contact information in a database so that we can contact you in the future. If you don’t want this, please tell us info@lawinthenews.com and we will remove your name.
In this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information provided to or collected by LITN about an identifiable individual, or an individual whose identity may be inferred or determined from the information.
This Privacy Policy applies regardless of how Personal Information is recorded (for example, electronically, or on paper). This Privacy Policy does not cover any information about more than one individual where the identity of the individuals is not known and cannot be inferred from the information (“Aggregated Information”).
LITN Canada retains the right to use Aggregated Information in any way that it reasonably determines is appropriate. This Privacy Policy also does not apply to information about companies or other legal entities.
LITN takes the protection of Personal Information seriously. My obligations as a legal professional are governed, in part, by rules of professional conduct which impose duties and obligations regarding the confidentiality of the information provided to LITN Canada.
We require all professionals, staff, other employees, contractors and agents who provide services in connection with our delivery of legal news and other services to comply with these obligations.
We hold this information in strict confidence and do not reveal it to anyone unless expressly or implicitly authorized by the person or organization concerned or where permitted or required by applicable law.
In the course of our relationship with you, LITN Canada will need to collect, use, and sometimes disclose different types of Personal Information for various purposes associated with the services we provide as directed by you or your organization.
Given the nature of our services, it is impractical to list all of types of Personal Information that may be collected, used or disclosed. However, the Personal Information we collect may include:
In some cases, we collect Personal Information from third parties such as clients to whom we provide services, regulatory and legal authorities, other organizations with whom we or you have dealings, such as government agencies, credit reporting agencies, recruitment agencies, information or service providers, and from publicly available records.
We may also collect information from public sources in the context of an investigation or proceedings related to services being provided to one of our members.
We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet Security anti-spam service and Defender Security, among others. The information we collect depends on how the User sets up Akismet and Defender Security for the Site, but typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).
LITN Canada uses and discloses Personal Information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Under no circumstances will LITN Canada sell any Personal Information it has obtained.
LITN Canada may use and disclose Personal Information for the following purposes:
The marketing email messages sent by LITN Canada will give you the opportunity to update your contact details and mailing list preferences or unsubscribe from our mailing lists altogether. If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails from LITN Canada, please follow the unsubscribe link in one of our marketing email messages.
LITN Canada may share Personal Information with other LITN group entities for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. You can learn more about other LITN entities by visiting: Legal, Privacy and Policy.
LITN Canada allows certain authorized third party providers to track and store certain information about visitors to our websites (including domain names, IP addresses and page views as described below).
LITN Canada may also disclose Personal Information to organizations that perform services for us. Personal Information will only be provided to such organizations if they agree by way of contract to provide appropriate protection for such information.
Personal Information may also be subject to transfer to another organization in the event of corporate transaction such as a merger, or change of ownership. This will occur only if the parties have entered into an agreement under which the collection, use and disclosure of the information is restricted to those purposes that relate to the business transaction, including determining whether or not to proceed with the business transaction, and is used by the parties to carry out and complete the business transaction.
Lastly, we may disclose your Personal Information for any other purpose to which you consent.
LITN Canada may collect Personal Information in many forms (for example, hard/soft copy, electronically, facsimile, telephone conversations/recordings, email, etc.), but will only do so by lawful means and only for necessary purposes that have been disclosed to you, are described in this Privacy Policy, or are permitted or required by applicable law.
Personal Information collected in any form will only be retained by LITN Canada so long as it is required:
When Personal Information is no longer required for these identified purposes, LITN Canada uses secure procedures to destroy, delete, erase or convert the Personal Information into an anonymous form.
In general, you can use our websites without giving us any Personal Information. If you are one of our anonymous visitors, please bear in mind that we may still record certain analytical information and as further set out in this section.

We may use this information to improve the functionality of our website, to tailor or improve the content that we may send or show you, and for analytical purposes to understand how visitors interact with our website, messages and the information we provide.
Your provision of Personal Information to LITN Canada means that you agree and consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information under this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, do not provide any Personal Information to us. However, while providing some Personal Information is optional, certain services can only be offered if you provide Personal Information to us and we may not be able to offer you certain services if you choose not provide us with any required Personal Information.
Consent may be given in different ways such as:
There may be circumstances where you have provided Personal Information for one purpose, and LITN Canada later needs to use that information for a different purpose. In such circumstances, LITN Canada will seek your consent to use the information for the new purpose unless the law permits or requires us to use the information for that new purpose.
Please note that there are circumstances where the collection, use and/or disclosure of Personal Information may be justified or permitted without consent, or where LITN Canada may or must disclose information without consent, in accordance with applicable law.
You have the right to revoke your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information at any time. However, revocation of your consent may prevent us from providing services or products to you; in such circumstances, we will discuss with you the reason we need your Personal Information and why the revocation of your consent affects our ability to provide our services or products to you.
LITN Canada has taken steps to maintain physical, procedural and technical security for Personal Information.
LITN Canada holds Personal Information principally in the cloud where off-site storage facilities may be located, and such information may be accessed by those individuals that need to know such information in order that LITN Canada may provide our services.
Personal Information may be stored outside of the jurisdiction in which you live, if a third party provider or other entity to whom we disclose Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy is located outside of that jurisdiction. In such cases, Personal Information may be subject to the local laws of the jurisdictions within which it is collected, used, disclosed and/or stored, and may be accessed by governmental and law enforcement authorities in those jurisdictions.
LITN Canada endeavours to ensure that any Personal Information provided and in its possession is as accurate, current and complete as necessary for the purposes for which we use that information.
The Right to Access
You have the right to access and receive a copy of your personal data, and other supplementary information. This is commonly referred to as a data subject access request or ‘DSAR’. Individuals can make DSARs verbally or in writing, including via social media. A third party can also make a DSAR on behalf of another person.
You have a right to request access to your Personal Information and to request a correction to it if you believe it is inaccurate. In the event that you believe that your Personal Information is not accurate or you wish access to your Personal Information, you may make a request using the contact information provided below.
The Right to Erasure
Under most privacy laws and under certain conditions, you have the right to have your personal data erased.
The Right to Data Portability
The right to data portability allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. It allows you to move, copy or transfer personal data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way, without affecting its usability. Doing this enables you to take advantage of applications and services that can use this data to find you a better deal or help you understand your spending habits. The right only applies to information an individual has provided to a controller.
We endeavor to provide timely access to your Personal Information. However, we may require you to verify your identity to our satisfaction prior to doing so. Further, there may be circumstances where access cannot be granted. For example, we will not grant access where doing so would lead to the disclosure of Personal Information of another individual and that individual refuses to provide consent to the disclosure, or where the information is subject to privilege or other legal restrictions. In such cases you will be notified of the reason why it is not possible to grant access to your Personal Information.
This Privacy Policy is in effect as of December 19 , 2021. LITN Canada will from time to time review and revise its privacy practices and this Privacy Policy. In the event of any amendment, an appropriate notice will be posted on our website.
Your continued access to and/or use of our website or provision of Personal Information to us after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of, and agreement to this Privacy Policy, as revised. Please periodically review this Privacy Policy so that you know what Personal Information we collect, how we use it, and with whom we may share it.
Like many other websites, we use cookies on our website for all sorts of useful things!
For those of you who are new to cookies of the non-edible kind – cookies are text files containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They can improve your experience of using a website, for example, by remembering your preference settings and tracking your use of a website so that it can be improved to meet your needs.
In certain jurisdictions, including the European Union, websites must get consent to send cookies to your computer or mobile device (by which we mean the kind of cookie described above – not the edible kind) unless the cookies are strictly necessary to provide services to you.
You can set your cookie preferences using your browser. Many browsers provide information regarding cookies through their ‘Help’ menu, and additional information may be found online.
Unless the cookie is a strictly necessary cookie, you can withdraw your consent to our cookies at any time even if you have previously consented. Although, please do remember that if you do not consent to our functionality cookies, parts of our websites will not work. For example, you may not be able to watch our videos. For this reason we may occasionally send you prompts which allow you to consent to a cookie you have previously rejected.
Some cookies are strictly necessary or another type of cookie e.g. “functionality” or “performance” cookies. Cookies can also be “persistent” or “session” cookie. The difference is that:
Persistent cookies remain on your device between browsing sessions. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a “persistent cookie” is used on a website to remember your log-in details, you will not need to enter those details each time you visit that website.
Session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
