Privacy Policy

Our Commitment To Privacy

Venor’s Personal Information Protection policy describes how the company collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal data. The firm adheres to Nova Scotia’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other relevant legislation. This policy extends to service providers acting on Venor’s behalf.

What Is Personal Information

Personal information encompasses data that identifies individuals, including names, addresses, phone numbers, age, sex, family status, financial details, educational background, and identification numbers. Under PIPEDA, business contact information (name, title, business address, work phone, business email) used when contacting organizational representatives is excluded.

Consent

Submitting personal information to Venor constitutes consent for the company to retain and use it in business operations, particularly Executive and Professional Search services. Individuals may withdraw consent anytime, except where legal obligations require retention. The Privacy Officer handles withdrawal requests.

Collection And Use Of Your Personal Information

Venor collects personal data through resumes, cover letters, calls, interviews, background checks, and academic verification for Executive and Professional Search purposes. The collected information enables Venor to verify accuracy, discuss employment opportunities, share company information, and address relevant business matters.

Disclosing Personal Information

Venor does not sell Personal Information in any circumstance. The company may share resumes and personal details with clients for recruiting purposes only with explicit prior consent, restricted to role suitability evaluation.

Protecting Your Personal Information

Venor employs secure databases and locked servers for its own systems. Third-party IT providers may store data in Canada, the United States, or elsewhere. All providers undergo security review with contractual protections ensuring comparable safeguards. Users should recognize that information stored outside Canada may be accessible to foreign law enforcement authorities.

Retention Of Personal Information

Personal information remains in a confidential database for future opportunity discussions unless otherwise requested by the individual.

Removal/Disposal Of Personal Information

Hard copies undergo professional waste management destruction; electronic information is permanently deleted from servers.

Access And Accuracy Of Your Personal Information

Individuals may request personal information access by contacting Venor’s Privacy Officer with sufficient identifying details. The company responds within 45 calendar days; administrative fees may apply. Requests involving third-party references or legally protected information may face partial or complete denial with explanation provided.
