Privacy Rights in the Workplace

At Singh Lamarche LLP, we understand that privacy is a fundamental right, even in the context of employment. As workplaces increasingly adopt digital tools and monitoring technologies, employees and employers alike must understand the boundaries of workplace privacy and the legal obligations surrounding personal information.

Our services include:

Privacy Policy and Practice Review

We assess your employer’s practices and internal policies to determine whether they comply with applicable privacy legislation and workplace standards, and whether your rights are being appropriately respected.

Advice on Surveillance and Monitoring

We provide clear guidance on the legal limitations of workplace surveillance, including video monitoring, computer usage tracking, and email or internet monitoring. We help employees understand when employer oversight crosses the line into a privacy violation.

Personal Information and Data Protection

Our team advises on your rights concerning the collection, storage, access, and disclosure of your personal data by your employer. We ensure you understand what information can legally be gathered, how it must be safeguarded, and how long it can be retained.

Support for Privacy Breaches

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated—whether through unauthorized surveillance, misuse of your personal data, or excessive monitoring—we will assess the situation and advise you on your legal remedies, including internal complaints or legal claims.

Employer Consulting and Compliance

For employers, we assist in developing, updating, and implementing compliant workplace privacy policies. We also provide training to foster a respectful and legally sound work environment when it comes to employee data.

Education and Ongoing Support

Our firm is committed to empowering clients with up-to-date knowledge on privacy rights in the workplace. We offer resources and ongoing legal support to ensure you remain informed and protected.
