The website (the "Site") you have entered is operated by or on behalf of Pareto Business Solutions. ("PBS"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. Any personally identifiable information about you is considered personal information ("Personal Information") and will be treated in accordance with PBS's Privacy Statement.
The purpose of this Privacy Statement is to inform you about PBS's practices relating to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information that may be provided through access to or use of our websites including this Site or that may otherwise be collected by us. We urge you to read it carefully.
What we collect and how we use it
The only identifiable individual information PBS collects from Site visitors comes in the form of resumes submitted by job seekers interested in positions with PBS. This information is initially viewed and used exclusively by the PBS Human Resources department.
PBS Human Resources reviews resumes and will contact the candidates who are qualified for a given position. In the case of candidates who are invited to a second interview, his/her resume will be forwarded to the hiring Department Manager and/or Team Leader.
PBS Human Resources stores resumes of candidates who are interviewed for one (1) year. Resumes from candidates who are not interviewed are kept on file for six (6) months. When those time periods have elapsed, hard copy resumes are shredded and digital copies of resumes are deleted. The resumes of those candidates we hire are filed in their personnel files permanently.
Some information is collected automatically when you visit the Site because your IP address needs to be recognized by the server. We may use this information to monitor and analyze how parts of our Site are used. This Site may use "cookies", small text files inserted on your computer to identify you as you view PBS's website.
Full Agreement
By providing PBS with your personal information, you are deemed to have consented to PBS using and disclosing it for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, including any changes or additions to your personal information provided by you to PBS in the future. Your personal information may specifically be used for the purposes of:
Establishing your identity; verifying information provided by you with third parties including your employer and other financial institutions, verifying information provided by third parties; and making sure my records are kept separate from others with the same name; and
Disclosing personal information without my knowledge or consent to a lawyer or other advisor representing PBS, to collect a debt, to comply with a subpoena, warrant or other court order or rules, as required for the investigation or enforcement of laws, or as may otherwise be required or authorized by law. You understand when a request for personal information is made by an organization claiming lawful authority for the request, PBS will take reasonable steps to ensure that the requesting party properly identifies its legal authority.
Disclosure to Related Organizations
As a rule, PBS will not disclose your personal information to third parties. However there are exceptions:
From time to time, PBS uses third-party-sub-contractors to provide certain services. While your personal information is disclosed to such parties, they are required to comply with PBS's Privacy Statement and not use or retain your personal information for their own purposes.
If information about your services is anonymized, so that the individual applicant is no longer identifiable, then it is not personal information anymore. PBS may disclose anonymized information at any time to anyone it chooses.
If PBS, in whole or in part, is acquired by another company, your personal information will be transferred to the new company along with the rest of the assets, provided that the company either agrees to abide by PBS's then existing Privacy Statement, or agrees to notify you forthwith about any proposed changes to the privacy statement and allows you an opportunity to request that your personal information be deleted.
PBS will disclose your personal information without your consent as required by law or permitted by Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act or by provincial law, whichever is applicable.
