1. Who we are

MS-LegalSolutions (“we,” “us,” “our”) provides legal support for residential real estate transactions in Canada. We are the controller of personal information collected through this website and during service delivery.

2. What this policy covers

This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and what rights you have under applicable laws, including Canada’s PIPEDA and, where relevant, the EU/UK GDPR.

3. Information we collect

  • Contact & Identification: name, email, phone, address, preferred language.

  • Matter Information: property details, transaction timelines, counterparties, documents you upload, communications with us.

  • Government/Financial Identifiers (only if necessary for the matter): IDs required for identity verification and anti-money-laundering checks, lender or account references related to closing.

  • Technical Data: IP address, device and browser information, general location (city/region), cookie identifiers, pages visited and interactions (see Cookie Policy).

  • Marketing Preferences: opt-in/opt-out choices, testimonial permissions.

  • Recruitment (if you apply): CV/resume and related details you provide.

You may choose not to provide certain information; however, this may limit our ability to deliver services or respond to inquiries.

4. How we use your information (purposes)

  • Service Delivery: respond to inquiries, open and manage your file, perform contract reviews, title searches, negotiations, and closings, coordinate with lenders/realtors, and issue statements of account.

  • Compliance & Risk: identity verification (KYC), conflict checks, fraud prevention, trust accounting, regulatory reporting, and record retention.

  • Operations: scheduling, customer support, website analytics, security monitoring, quality assurance, and training.

  • Marketing (optional): send service updates, guides, and invitations (only with your consent where required).

  • Recruitment: evaluate and manage applications.

5. Legal bases (how processing is justified)

  • Performance of a contract (or steps prior to entering a contract) — providing requested legal services.

  • Consent — optional marketing communications, testimonials, certain cookies.

  • Legitimate interests — website analytics, service improvement, network security (balanced against your rights).

  • Legal obligations — anti-money-laundering/identity checks, tax and regulatory requirements, law society rules.

6. Sharing your information

We share personal information only as needed with:

  • Service Providers/Processors: IT hosting, client-portal, email, e-signature, practice management, secure payments, analytics, document couriers.

  • Deal Counterparties: realtors, lenders, insurers, and other professionals involved in your transaction—strictly for matter purposes.

  • Professional Advisors & Regulators: accountants, auditors, law societies, or authorities when required by law.

  • Business Transfers: if we reorganize or transfer our practice, your information may transfer as part of that transaction, subject to confidentiality.

We require service providers to safeguard information and use it only on our instructions.

7. International transfers

Your information may be processed in or accessed from jurisdictions outside your province or country. We use contractual and technical safeguards to protect data subject to local requirements.

8. Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described and to meet legal, regulatory, tax, and professional obligations (often a fixed number of years under law society rules). When no longer required, we securely destroy or anonymize it.

9. Security

We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including access controls, encryption in transit where feasible, and secure storage. No system can be guaranteed 100% secure; please contact us immediately if you suspect a security issue.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

  • Access your personal information and obtain a copy;

  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data;

  • Delete/Erasure (subject to legal retention requirements);

  • Object to or restrict processing in certain cases;

  • Portability of data you provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format;

  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on consent;

  • Opt out of marketing communications.
    To exercise rights, email info@ms-legalsolutions.com with the subject “Privacy Request,” describe your request, and provide information we reasonably need to verify your identity.
