1. Introduction & Scope
LMAR Professional Corporation ("LMAR", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information entrusted to us by clients, prospective clients, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and safeguard information gathered through our corporate website (https://lmar.ca/) and direct communications.
2. Information We Collect
We limit our collection of information to what is strictly necessary to communicate with you and evaluate your accounting, tax, or advisory inquiries:
- Inquiry Form Data: When you submit a contact inquiry on our website, we collect your full name, email address, optional contact telephone number, selected service category, and message details.
- Direct Communications: Information you voluntarily provide when contacting us via telephone (647-884-8001) or email ([email protected]).
- Technical Information: Hosting and external services may process IP addresses, browser information and access timestamps. The provider's configuration, notices and retention practices must be confirmed; automatic anonymization is not asserted.
Important: We do not request or collect Social Insurance Numbers (SIN), banking account credentials, or tax return files through this public website.
3. How We Use Collected Information
Collected personal information is used exclusively for legitimate business purposes:
- To respond to your inquiries, questions, or requests for professional services.
- To assess the suitability of our accounting, bookkeeping, tax, training, or consulting solutions for your needs.
- To establish preliminary client communication before formal professional engagement.
- To maintain website security and prevent spam or malicious submissions.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your contact information to third-party marketers or advertisers.
4. Disclosure of Information to Service Providers
Website hosting, external fonts, the embedded Google Map and linked communication services can involve third-party processing. If the contact form is configured, inquiries are sent to the configured Formspree endpoint. LMAR must confirm account ownership, provider terms, processing locations and actual practices. No unverified contractual confidentiality arrangement is asserted here.
See the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada's outsourcing guidance for the accountability considerations applicable to organizations subject to PIPEDA.

LMAR employs reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, or alteration. All web traffic is encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (HTTPS/TLS).
6. Data Retention
Inquiry records are retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the communication purpose for which they were collected, or as required by applicable Canadian professional accounting regulations and statutory limitation periods.
