Last Updated: June 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how CONSORTIUM SG Auditors & Lawyers Inc. (hereinafter, "the Firm," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, protects, and shares information obtained through this website. We are committed to ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users' data in accordance with the highest ethical, professional, and legal standards applicable in the jurisdictions where we operate, including Canada, Panama, and Mexico.
By using this website, you accept the practices described in this policy.
1. SCOPE AND COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
We collect information about our users in three main ways: directly from the user, through our web server logs, and through the use of cookies. We use this information primarily to provide you with a personalized internet experience that delivers the most relevant and useful resources, solutions, and professional services.
A. Information Provided Directly by the User
-
Contact Forms and Service Requests: If you complete a form on this website to make a legal or audit inquiry, we will request basic contact information such as your name, email address, phone number, and province/state/country. To process the form, only the email address field is mandatory.
-
24/7 AI-Powered Automated and Live Chat Channels: Our website utilizes advanced Artificial Intelligence systems to provide real-time assistance, commercial guidance, and expedite request management.
-
Identity Verification: The automated system or our analysts may request basic information strictly necessary to verify your identity, confirm your client status, or structure the scope of your technical inquiry.
-
Proactive Data Masking Technology: In alignment with our strict IT auditing and cybersecurity standards, our AI channel features automated data masking and filtering protocols. Should you inadvertently input financial data, passwords, or government identifiers, the system is engineered to immediately obfuscate, redact, or delete such sensitive fields prior to storage.
-
Algorithmic Governance: Interactions are processed under strict encryption layers for the sole purpose of resolving your requests and auditing system performance.
-
-
Use of Data: All information provided through these means will be used strictly to respond to your inquiry and manage the professional relationship. We may also use it to keep you informed about relevant legal or corporate updates in the future, unless you request otherwise.
CRITICAL NOTICE REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL AND SENSITIVE INFORMATION:
Do not voluntarily send confidential, proprietary, or sensitive personal data (such as social security numbers, government identification numbers, driver's licenses, dates of birth, access credentials, credit card numbers, or bank account details) or corporate documentation through the website's open contact forms or chats. Despite the implementation of masking technologies, the initial transmission of this data without a secure encrypted channel explicitly provided by the Firm is done at your own risk, exempting the Firm from any consequences resulting from such submission.
B. Web Server Logs
To ensure site security, audit traffic, and prevent unauthorized access, our web servers automatically capture and electronically store information about your visit, which includes, but is not limited to:
-
Unique Internet Protocol (IP) address.
-
Name of your unique Internet Service Provider (ISP).
-
Geographic location (city, state/province, and country) from which you access the site.
-
Browser type, operating system, and technical specifications of your computer or device.
-
Exact date, time, and duration of the visit, pages viewed, and search queries performed within our site.

This information is used internally for the technical administration of the site, statistical usage analysis, and protection of our digital infrastructure against vulnerabilities.
C. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies to remember your identity, save your browsing preferences, and understand which sections of the website are of greatest interest to our visitors. You can configure your browser to notify you before receiving a cookie or to disable them entirely. For more details on managing cookies, you can visit All About Cookies. You can also opt out of Google's use of advertising cookies by visiting Google Ad Settings.
2. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND REMOTE ADVERTISING
The Firm may rely on third-party platforms to analyze website performance and display relevant institutional advertising content:
-
Trend Analysis: We may use external analytical services to process browsing data. These services collect information transmitted by your browser in a strictly anonymous and aggregated manner, with the sole purpose of reporting statistical trends without individually identifying users.
-
Targeted and Interest-Based Advertising: We may use third-party tools that employ cookies to display personalized advertisements to you across the internet based on your previous interactions with our website. The Firm does not share direct personally identifiable information with any third-party advertiser or ad network.
-
Opt-Out Options: You can choose to opt out of data collection targeted for ad segmentation by various providers by visiting the industry platform www.aboutads.info/choices.
3. INFORMATION SECURITY PROTOCOLS
In alignment with our expertise in internal control and auditing, we implement commercially reasonable technical, physical, and administrative security measures designed to safeguard your personal data against accidental loss, alteration, destruction, or unauthorized access and disclosure. However, because no system of electronic transmission or storage over the internet is completely infallible, we cannot guarantee absolute security against malicious, targeted cyberattacks that unlawfully breach our defenses.
4. ACCESS AND TRANSFER OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES
CONSORTIUM SG Auditors & Lawyers Inc. does not sell, rent, trade, or lease user information to third parties. Access to personal information is strictly limited and will only be shared under the following specific circumstances:
-
Key Service Providers: To qualified contractors, agents, or IT vendors operating on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements to maintain the functionality of the website and the Firm's operations.
-
Professional Referrals: In the event that the nature of your inquiry requires specialized attention that exceeds our current capabilities, and we know an independent attorney, auditor, or firm that can optimally assist you, we may refer your case by sharing exclusively the contact and inquiry information you provided, subject to prior notice or mutual benefit.
-
Legal Requirements and Corporate Continuity: We will disclose information when required by judicial mandates, applicable laws, public safety investigations, or in corporate asset transfers (mergers, acquisitions, or corporate restructuring processes), always acting under the principle of good faith and protection of our legitimate rights.
