Legally Woke (Operated by Pheby’s Law Professional Corporation)

Last updated: January 17, 2026

1. Introduction

Legally Woke (“Legally Woke”, “we”, “us”,

or “our”) is a legal advice platform designed to make professional legal guidance more accessible. The platform allows individuals to obtain clear, practical guidance on specific legal issues without retaining a lawyer for full representation.

Operated by Pheby’s Law Professional Corporation, Legally Woke provides written legal advice, document review, and Independent Legal Advice (ILA) through clearly defined, limited-scope retainers.

We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of the personal information entrusted to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information obtained through the Legally Woke website and related services, in accordance with applicable privacy legislation and professional obligations.

2. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through:

  • the Legally Woke website
  • online intake and submission forms
  • document uploads
  • email communications
  • identity verification processes

It does not apply to third-party websites linked from our site.

3. Personal Information We Collect

We collect only the personal information reasonably necessary to provide Independent Legal Advice and related limited-scope services, including:

  • name and contact information (email address, and optionally phone number)
  • identification information for verification and conflict-checking purposes
  • factual information provided in connection with a legal question
  • documents uploaded by users
  • payment-related information (processed through third-party payment providers)

We do not knowingly collect information beyond what is required to deliver our services responsibly and professionally.

4. Purpose of Collection

Personal information is collected and used for the following purposes:

  • assessing whether a request is suitable for limited-scope legal advice, including Independent Legal Advice (ILA) where applicable
  • verifying identity and conducting conflict-of-interest checks
  • providing legal advice, document review, or drafting assistance in accordance with an accepted limited-scope retainer
  • communicating with users regarding their request and related administrative matters
  • complying with professional, legal, and regulatory obligations
  • maintaining internal records and risk-management controls

5. Lawyer–Client Relationship

Submission of information through the Legally Woke website does not automatically create a lawyer-client relationship.

A lawyer-client relationship is formed only after:

  • the request has been reviewed and accepted, and
  • a written limited-scope retainer agreement has been issued and agreed to.

Nevertheless, information submitted through the platform is treated as confidential and handled in accordance with professional obligations.

6. Consent

By using the Legally Woke website and submitting information, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal and professional obligations that may require retention of certain information.


7. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

Personal information may be disclosed only:

  • as required to provide legal services
  • to service providers assisting with identity verification, payment processing, or secure data storage
  • where required by law or professional obligation

All third-party service providers are required to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.


8. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. Safeguards include:

  • secure digital storage systems
  • restricted access to authorized personnel
  • secure email and document-handling practices

While we take reasonable precautions, no system can guarantee absolute security.


9. Electronic Communications

Legally Woke primarily communicates with users electronically, including by email. Electronic communications carry inherent risks, and while safeguards are in place, complete confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.

Users who prefer alternative communication methods may raise this at the time of intake.

10. Retention of Information

Personal information and client records are retained in accordance with:

Law Society of Ontario requirements

professional obligations

internal record-keeping policies

Information is securely stored and destroyed when no longer required.


11. Access and Correction

You may request access to or correction of your personal information by contacting us using the information below, subject to legal and professional limitations.


12. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be posted on the website, and continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
