Integrity Canada Inc. - Privacy Statement

Integrity Canada Inc. respects the privacy of individuals in all aspects of our business operations. We have a longstanding commitment to protecting the personal information of job seekers when providing services to our clients. Your personal information is only collected, used and disclosed by Integrity Canada Inc. in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Why Do We Collect Personal Information?

As a job seeker using Integrity Canada Inc.'s services, you are asked to provide certain pieces of information in order for us to provide you with the best possible service. In addition to your contact details, your resumé, and a description of the type of work you are looking for, your file may include the following:

	Our interview notes
	Information obtained through reference and background check
	Educational records
	Reference letters
	Skill testing results

We use your information to:

	Understand your qualifications, needs and preferences
	Find the “best fit” job opportunities for you
	Fulfill our client's requests for information about job candidates
	Provide you with appropriate training or career transition services
	Skill testing results
	Assess and develop our business and operations to better service job seekers and our clients
	For other similar or related purposes that are reasonably necessary for the proper management of Integrity Canada Inc.’s business

Integrity Canada Inc. never collects more personal information than is needed to fulfill these purposes, unless requested by the client and consented to by the job seeker

When Do We Disclose Personal Information And To Whom?

Your personal information is never traded, sold or leased by us to any external companies. Your information is only disclosed for Integrity Canada Inc.’s legitimate business purposes or as required to meet legal and regulatory requirements, for example, to comply with a court order.

In the normal course of business, we disclose your personal information to our clients when we feel there is a potential for a job placement. As a job seeker, you are relying on us to share such information. We only provide your information to employers if there is a job opening that is well suited for you, and we only provide information required and requested to make an informed decision regarding a job candidate.

We may share information with our affiliates, partners, contractors or other companies (collectively “representatives”) that we use to provide full staffing services. However, we only disclose limited information as required for the function that will be performed by the representative on our behalf. Examples of companies we share your limited personal information with include:

	Organizations that perform background checks including criminal, educational and credit checks as required by the client
	Employee testing centers

Have You Consented?

Having read this policy and by using our services and providing us with your personal information, we imply your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as specified herein.

Wherever practical and when necessary, we also obtain your express consent for particular uses and disclosures. For example, we obtain your express consent before releasing your information to a third party who provides background checks on potential employees.

We imply your consent if we feel we are using your personal information for purposes that are obvious to you. For example, if you list the names and phone numbers of your previous employers on your resumé for reference checking purposes, we will not seek your express consent before checking these references.

How Long Is Your Information Retained?

We retain your information as long as we are offering placement services to you, or longer if required by law. For permanent placements, we retain your information for seven years after you accept a permanent employment position.

How Do We Keep Your Personal Information Secure?

We have staff procedures and policies in place to ensure that your personal information, in both paper and electronic format, are secure. For example, we require the following:

	Access to electronic and paper files is limited on a need-to-know basis depending on job function
	Password selection criteria and expiry make unauthorized access more difficult
	Staff training on the importance of privacy and security is undertaken regularly

How Can You Access Your Personal Information And Check Its Accuracy?

Integrity Canada Inc. relies on the information provided by you, as well as third parties such as those providing references, educational institutions or those conducting background checks. If you would like access to the personal information we have on file for you, we will ask you to put your request in writing. You will be given reasonable access to your personal information to verify or correct information, provided your file is ‘active'. Every effort will be made to respond to your inquiry within 10 days.

Integrity Canada Inc. strives to maintain accurate records of your personal information, however, this cannot be achieved without your help. In this ongoing effort, we ask you to provide us with your most up to date information. Write to the address below and let us know of any personal information you have given us in the past that is incomplete, inaccurate, or no longer relevant. It will be our pleasure to make appropriate modifications.
