4. Cookies and Google Analytics

The Website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and measure use of the Website.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Website. Google Analytics may collect information such as session statistics, approximate location, browser and device information, pages visited, and traffic sources. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies, including cookies used to distinguish visitors and maintain session information.

Information generated through Google Analytics is transmitted to and processed by Google. Additional information about Google’s processing is available in Google’s explanation of how it uses information from sites and applications that use its services.

Where required, we will request your permission before activating non-essential analytics cookies. You may accept or reject analytics cookies through our cookie banner and may revise your selection through the “Cookie Preferences” link available on the Website. You may also adjust your browser settings to restrict or delete cookies. Disabling cookies may affect certain Website functions.

Service providers are authorized to process personal information for the services they provide to us, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

We do not sell personal information collected through the Website.

6. Recruitment and HRIS

The Website may display employment opportunities and links to our HRIS recruitment portal. When you select an external job-application link, you leave the Website and enter our recruitment portal.

  • Receiving and managing applications;
  • Communicating with applicants;
  • Evaluating qualifications;
  • Scheduling and conducting the recruitment process;
  • Maintaining recruitment records; and
  • Complying with employment and other legal requirements.

The recruitment portal may provide an additional Applicant Privacy Notice describing the information collected during the application process. If there is a conflict concerning applicant information, the more specific Applicant Privacy Notice presented in the recruitment portal will govern.

Questions or requests concerning an application should be directed to us using the contact information below.

7. Processing Outside Your Jurisdiction

We and our service providers may process personal information in the United States, Canada, and other countries in which they maintain facilities or personnel. Information processed in another jurisdiction may be subject to that jurisdiction’s laws and may be accessible to its courts, law-enforcement authorities, or regulators.

For information about our policies and practices regarding service providers outside Canada, contact our Privacy Officer using the information below.

8. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Notice, including responding to inquiries, managing business and recruitment records, satisfying legal or contractual obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.

Retention periods vary according to the nature of the information and the reason it was collected. Google Analytics information is retained according to the retention settings configured for our account. Applicant information is retained according to our recruitment and records-retention practices and applicable law.

  • Obtain a portable copy of certain personal information;
  • Withdraw consent to certain processing;
  • Opt out of certain targeted advertising, data sales, or profiling; and

These rights may be subject to exceptions and limitations. Because we primarily serve other businesses, some information submitted in a commercial or employment context may not be covered by particular consumer privacy rights.

To submit a request, contact our Privacy Officer using the information below and describe the request. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

You may withdraw consent to optional analytics through the Website’s Cookie Preferences control.

10. Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, however.
