What personal information is collected?

‍

Privacy laws in Canada generally define "personal information" as any information about an identifiable individual, which includes information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person. Personal information does not include business contact information, such as your name (when used in a professional context), title, or business contact information.

‍

In order to operate our website, we may collect, use and disclose person information through this website for the following purposes:

‍

• providing information, including responding to questions, about potential employment opportunities with NMC;
• providing information to our employees about available assignments and other related employment information;
• responding to any questions or comments from you about our services;
• marketing purposes; and
• collating data and analyzing statistics and demographics.

We may use your information to contact you about employment opportunities, products and services that we offer that may be of interest to you, as permitted by law. If you do not want us to use your information in this way, please tell us so in your message to us, or use the one-click unsubscribe option on any of our marketing communications.

‍

If we wish to use your personal information for any other purpose, we will obtain your prior consent, unless otherwise required or permitted by law. 

‍

We do not collect, use or store payment information on our website. Merchandise listed on our website is offered by a third party, JH Craft & Co, and clicking on any link to purchase merchandise will redirect you to their website. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MERCHANDISE THROUGH THE LINK, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO JH CRAFT & CO.’S TERMS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY, WHICH WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW BEFORE USING. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

‍

How do we collect personal information?

‍

We may collect personal information from the following sources:

‍

• Direct interactions with you when you provide it to us, for example, by filling in forms, using our portal, or corresponding with us by phone, email, or mail.
• Automated technologies or interactions, as you navigate through our website. Information collected automatically may include usage details about your computer and internet connection, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other automatic data collection technologies.
• Third parties or publicly available sources, including information that has been provided about you by someone else (for example, delivery addresses and phone numbers).

Job application information is processed by a third-party human resources service provider on our behalf, rather than being stored on our website's own servers.

We do not sell or trade your personal information to third parties. We will only use or disclose your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected, or as permitted or required by law, unless you consent to another use. We may transfer your information as permitted by law as part of a proposed or completed sale of the business, merger or acquisition, or during bankruptcy proceedings or corporate reorganization or change of control.

‍

We will only retain your personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and as required by law. Once it is no longer needed or required, we will destroy your personal information in a confidential and secure manner. Under some circumstances we may anonymize or aggregate your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent.

‍

You may withdraw your consent at any time for the use and retention of your personal information, subject to any statutory or legal obligations we may have. You may contact our Privacy Officer to discuss the limits to and implications of this type of request in your particular situation.

‍

How do we protect your personal information?

‍

We protect information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information, in the following ways:

‍

• any personal information that you provide to us will be stored and accessed on password-protected servers and devices;
• personal information you provide to us may be stored and processed by our service providers on servers located outside Canada, including in the United States, and is subject to the laws of that jurisdiction; we select our service providers for their strong security and reliable uptime, and require them to protect your personal information from disclosure to anyone else;
• we destroy any personal information in our possession in accordance with standard document retention practices in our industry.

Please advise us of any updates to or inaccuracies in your personal information, should you become aware of any, and we will do our best to correct our records.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Privacy breaches and data hacking may occur. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to or through our website. If you choose to transmit personal information through our website, it is done at your own risk.
