NewCareer.ca's Privacy Statement
Last updated: Nov 18,2003
Internet user privacy is very important to
NewCareer.ca. The success of our business depends upon our ability to maintain the trust of our users. Below you will find information regarding
NewCareer.ca's commitment to protect the privacy of users and to ensure the integrity of the Internet.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
Personally identifying information from users (employer/staffing agency, job seeker) is collected only when the user fills out the registration form or in other site locations when users knowingly submit such information to
NewCareer.ca (for example, when they subscribe to the CareerMail, Newsletter, complete surveys etc.) on a voluntary basis.
We may also collect, or our content server will collect the URL you came from, IP address, domain types (e.g. .com or .org, etc.), your browser type, the country, province (states) and telephone area code where your server is located, the pages of our site that were viewed during a visit. (
see TRAFFIC STATS)
HOW INFORMATION IS USED
If you have registered with
NewCareer.ca services, the information collected is used to connect job seekers and employers/staffing agencies.
NewCareer.ca guarantees not to sell or rent your personal/company information to others. In fact, we don't even display it without your permission. When posting jobs and resumes, we have an option for you to decide how much contact information you want to show.
If you subscribe to our CareerMail or ResumeMail, we will then use your email address to notify you regarding new jobs/resumes added daily, weekly or monthly, updates and services that we believe may be of interest to you.
We also use user information (such as email) we collect for the purposes of sending promotional information (monthly newsletter), enhancing the operation of our site, for statistical purposes and to administer our systems. You may choose to unsubscribe at any time.
Our systems protect personal information using an advanced firewall server technology and considering using SSL in the near future. All passwords are encrypted before being stored in our database, in other words, only you know your own password and nobody else does, not even
NewCareer.ca. See
Account Security For online order security, see
Online Order Security.
NOTE: Job seeker, please read more about how your resume will be used in our system
below.
COOKIES
NewCareer.ca does not currently use cookies. In the near future, however, we will use cookies only to control the site poll system. Cookies are useful for enabling the browser to remember information specific to a given user. Your personal information will not be included in
NewCareer.ca cookies.
TRAFFIC STATS
Like millions of other websites, our server collects each user's IP address to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personal information.
JOB SEEKER'S RESUME & PROFILE
Since
NewCareer.ca is an online job portal, we allow job seekers to input their resume and contact information in our database so they can be searched and viewed by prospective employers/staffing agencies.
We use our best efforts and security system to grant access to these resumes and contact information only to prospective (paid) employers/staffing agencies. Once you enter your resume into our system, you also have a choice to hide your resume and contact information by checking the box provided in the resume form. That way employers/staffing agencies will never find your resume when scanning for resumes. However, you still can apply for a job online through our system.
As stated above, the resume and your contact information you enter into our database is strictly confidential and for prospective employers/stuffing agencies only, however, we are not responsible for the retention, use, or privacy of resumes in these situations:
- if some third party posing as an employer/staffing agency gains database access and subsequently uses your resume for their own purposes.
- if some other third party evades security measures and gains access to our data (your data).
- if our database is being used without NewCareer.ca's permission or stolen.
- if our server goes offline and loses all the data
- if employers/staffing agencies who have access to the database may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or databases.
You may remove your resume and contact information from our searchable databases at any time.
UPDATING INFORMATION
NewCareer.ca provides job seekers and employers/staffing agencies with the option of modifying or correcting their personal/company information at any time. To do so, simply log into your account, go to your company/personal profile, and you will find options for editing the information you have submitted. Upon deleting your account, we would like to be informed before taking any action.
OUTSIDE LINKS
NewCareer.ca contains links to other websites such as employers'/staffing agencies' websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third party sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personal information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
SURVEYS & CONTESTS
Sometimes
NewCareer.ca requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as a postal code). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
CHILDREN
NewCareer.ca does not specifically collect information about children. We believe that children should get their parents' consent before giving out personal information. If you are concerned about your child's use of
NewCareer.ca, we encourage you to use Web filtering technology to supervise your child's access to the site. We will not be responsible for any child's data that has been accidently entered into our system. And if we happen to find any children's data in our system, we will contact the parent as soon as possible and this data will be deleted from our database immediately.
SECURITY
Account Security NewCareer.ca undertakes every reasonable endeavour to protect its users' information. Your account is password protected. Only third parties that log on with your password can access your account. Please remember that you play a valuable part in security as well. Your password to access your account, which you obtain from the confirmation email, should never be shared with anyone and should be changed immediately and frequently. And, after you have finished using our site, you should log off and exit your browser so no unauthorized persons can use our site with your email and password. Regardless of the precautions taken by you or by us, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. You transmit such information at your own risk.
Online Order Security When you place an order online, your personal details and credit card information are encrypted using SSL encryption technology before being sent over the Internet. Although we cannot guarantee encryption or the privacy of your personal details and credit card information, SSL technology makes it very difficult for your information to be stolen or intercepted while being transferred. Our credit card transactions are maintained by 2Checkout.com, Inc. All information sent to 2Checkout is encrypted, which will protect it against disclosure to third parties. When we receive your order, it is kept encrypted until 2Checkout is ready to process it. For further information about 2Checkout's privacy and security practices, please visit http://www.2checkout.com.
