SECTION 1 – WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?
When you use our website, as part of the employment or placement process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address. We collect other information when you provide it to us. We also collect information about you through automated technologies on our Sites and from third parties. When we link information to you that was collected through automated technology, we treat that
information as personal information.
When you browse our website, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.
We may collect or receive information about you from third parties. For example, we may seek or receive information about your registration status with a professional regulatory body or other government authority.
With your permission, we may send you emails about our website, new products and other updates.
We use information collected from you for business purposes. For example, we use personal information:
- to respond to your inquiries and provide you with information, such as information on
employment opportunities; - to identify other products or services that we may provide;
- to provide legal notices, including, if required;
- to monitor the quality of the service we are providing and to communicate with you
about the quality of our service; - to provide you with newsletters and other advertising; and
- to provide you with features on our Sites, such as community forums or interactive
features. - If you submit your resume or other employment related data to us, we will collect the information that you provide to us to determine whether you would be a suitable candidate for job listings on our Site. We may retain this information in our files in the event a future position becomes available unless you request us not to do so.
- In addition, we use information in order to learn about our customers in order to improve our sites and to develop new products and services. For example, we use the information received from automated technologies to determine how many visitors visit areas of our sites, how long they remain on our sites, and whether they use the hyperlinks we provide.
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
- If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
SECTION 2 – CONSENT
How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with personal information via an inquiry, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only. If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

We may share information we collect about you in the following circumstances:

We may share your Personal Information with other companies and individuals who provide us with services but who are not our employees or affiliates (“Service Providers”) to identify other products and services that we provide that may be of interest to you. In addition, our Service Providers provide services to us and may provide services to you on our behalf. We may share your personal information or information that we have collected through automated means on our Sites with our Service Providers. For example, our Service Providers may host our Sites, analyze

SECTION 4 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other
payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
