Last updated: September 6, 2026.
This policy explains how Benazlegal, the practice of Uju Iwuchukwu, Barrister & Solicitor, handles personal information collected through this website. The Practice handles personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy law, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act where applicable, and the professional obligations that apply to lawyers in Ontario.
Privacy Officer
Uju Iwuchukwu acts as the Privacy Officer for the Practice and is responsible for personal information under its control. Questions, requests and complaints about privacy may be directed to info@benazlegal.com, by telephone at +1 905 324 6988, or by post to 2493 Harman Court, Mississauga, Ontario L5J 1T9.
Information collected
The Practice collects information that you choose to provide through the forms on this website. Depending on the form, this may include your name, email address, telephone number, service area, names of other parties for a preliminary conflicts check, a brief summary of your inquiry, preferred appointment time and, for notary or commissioning requests, document type, number of documents and whether you are requesting an in-person appointment or remote commissioning.
Please do not send confidential documents, privileged material, detailed sensitive facts or urgent and time-sensitive information through the website. Provide only the information needed for preliminary intake and conflicts screening and wait for instructions before sending documents.
How information is used
Information submitted through this website is used to respond to inquiries, conduct preliminary conflicts screening, arrange appointments, provide requested services where appropriate, maintain necessary records and meet legal, regulatory and professional obligations. The Practice does not sell or rent personal information.
Consent
Where consent is the appropriate basis for collection, use or disclosure, consent is obtained in a manner appropriate to the circumstances. Website forms include a consent checkbox that is not selected by default. You may withdraw consent by contacting the Privacy Officer, subject to legal, regulatory, professional and record-retention requirements.
Service providers
The Practice uses third-party service providers to operate the website and related communications. These may include:
- Netlify for website hosting and form submissions.
- Resend for form-related confirmation emails, where enabled.
- Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused website analytics.
- Hostinger for domain or email services, where applicable.
- Google Fonts and Material Symbols for delivery of website font and icon assets.
Service-provider arrangements may change. The Practice remains responsible for personal information under its control and takes reasonable steps to require appropriate protection from providers that process information on its behalf.
Processing outside Canada
Some service providers may process or store information outside Canada. Information processed in another jurisdiction may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement or national-security authorities in accordance with applicable law.
Analytics and cookies
This website uses Plausible Analytics to understand general website usage, such as page visits and link activity. Plausible is configured without analytics cookies or persistent cross-site identifiers and does not track visitors across unrelated websites. If the website's analytics or cookie practices change, this policy will be updated as appropriate.
Safeguards
The Practice uses administrative, technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. The website is intended to use encrypted HTTPS connections, and access to form submissions and practice systems is restricted to authorized persons and service providers as required for their functions. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Storage and retention
Personal information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for applicable legal, regulatory and professional record-keeping requirements. Information that is no longer required is securely destroyed, deleted or anonymized as appropriate.
Privacy and security incidents
If the Practice becomes aware of a privacy or security incident involving personal information, it will assess the incident and comply with applicable record-keeping, notification and reporting obligations.
Access and correction
You may request access to personal information the Practice holds about you and ask that inaccurate or incomplete information be corrected. Requests should be made in writing to the Privacy Officer. Access may be limited where permitted or required by law, including where information is subject to solicitor-client privilege, another person's privacy rights or another legal restriction.
Complaints
If you are concerned about the Practice's handling of personal information, please contact the Privacy Officer. If the concern is not resolved, you may have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or another applicable regulator. Concerns about a lawyer's professional conduct may be raised with the Law Society of Ontario.
Links to other websites
This website may link to third-party websites. Those sites are governed by their own privacy practices, and the Practice is not responsible for how they handle personal information.
