Sharing of Personal Information with Third Parties
Our funder requires us to protect your information. We do not disclose your personal information to third parties without your written consent. We will only disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so.
If we are required to share your information with our funder (The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities), you will be asked to sign an Employment Ontario Registration Form which would provide us with consent.
When We Ask for Consent
When you fill out a Client Registration Form, you are asked to provide us with information about yourself. At the bottom of the form, we will ask you directly for your consent to use your information so that we can provide you with services.
When you provide us with personal information to complete your resume or cover letter, we assume you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If we ask you for personal information, you can say no. Saying no is called “opting out”. By opting out, you can tell us not to collect the information.
