If you are reading this, you are using this website. By doing so, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you should stop using the site.
You may only access this website if you are capable of reading and understanding computer code. This matters because the privacy policy requires you to be able to parse the website code to understand what third-party tools have been implemented. If you are unable to do this, you do not have permission to access the website.
Law societies require lawyers to say certain things on their websites. This is me saying those things.
Nothing on this website is legal advice. It is general information. It is not tailored to you or your circumstances.
You should not act — or not act — based on anything on this website without obtaining legal advice.
A lawyer–client relationship is formed only through a written retainer agreement.
Do not send confidential or sensitive information through this website or by email unless a lawyer–client relationship has been established.
Information sent before that point may not be confidential and will not be treated as such.
This website is provided “as is”. I make no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding its accuracy, completeness, or currency.
The law changes. Websites lag.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
If applicable law does not permit certain limitations, they apply only to the extent permitted.
This website may contain links to other websites. They are provided for convenience only. I am not responsible for their content.
All content on this website belongs to me, unless otherwise stated. It may not be reproduced without permission.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

This website is not a "commercial activity" as that term is defined in PIPEDA — it is a personal site for exploring AI. That said, privacy laws are broad, and this website may collect personal information. That test is not always straightforward. To the extent those laws apply, this policy sets out how information is handled.
This website is operated by Sandy Lockhart, a lawyer practising in Ontario, Canada.
Information you choose to provide. If you contact me (for example, by email), you may provide personal information. The nature of that information will depend on what you choose to share. You should avoid sending sensitive or confidential information unless a lawyer–client relationship has been established.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, limited technical information may be collected automatically, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and general usage data. This information is typically collected through third-party hosting and analytics tools, and is used to understand and maintain the website. You can review the page source to determine whether third-party providers are being used for this purpose. If they are, you may wish to review their privacy policies as well.
Information may be used to:
Personal information is not used for marketing, profiling, or resale. Aggregate information (without personally identifying details) may be used as part of the thought experiment that is this website.
Providing information through this website does not create a lawyer–client relationship. Information sent before a retainer is established may not be confidential.
Personal information is not sold or rented. Information may be disclosed:
Information may be stored on servers located in various jurisdictions. Reasonable measures are taken to protect it, but no transmission or storage method is completely secure.
Information is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law or professional obligations.
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to or correction of your personal information. Requests can be directed to the contact information below.
This website may use third-party services (such as hosting or analytics providers). Those services may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
This policy may be updated from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page.
