We respect your privacy and will protect your personal information. This policy tells you how we, Michalsons (a law firm), will process and protect your personal information. To help you, you will have to share information with us. You must trust us to protect it and keep it confidential.

If you need a privacy policy for your website, don’t copy this one; we can help you draft one tailored for you. We also make a simple one available for free.

We take these issues very seriously as a law firm focused on privacy, data protection, confidentiality, and intellectual property protection. We also know how important confidentiality and privilege are to you. We are professional legal advisers governed by the law society’s rules and must keep the affairs of present and former clients confidential (unless otherwise required by law). We give independent legal advice that is confidential, privileged and protected.

If you are still reading this policy, you obviously really care about your privacy. We’re pleased that someone is reading our policy, so as a reward, we’ll send you a gift (like a complimentary pack of webcam cover stickers to protect your online privacy). Simply email us to let us know that you found this and your delivery address, and we’ll get it delivered to you.
