    Why we need your personal information

    For Job Seekers

    In order to conduct business Poly Placements connects suitable candidates to employers looking to fill positions. The information we collect about you as a job seeker may be shared with our employer clients if in our judgement you would be a suitable candidate for an open position.

    Except as explained “Exceptions where we may disclose information without consent” we do not share information about you with anyone outside of Poly Placements without your consent. Additionally if we intend to use your information in a way we didn’t tell you about previously we will obtain your consent at that time.

    For Employers

    As you do business with Poly Placements we continue to collect and use personal information for our mutual benefit and protection. For example we may review and analyze this information to offer solutions that help meet your needs.

    We obtain most of your personal information directly from you. When we ask for information we will let you know how it will be used. Some information may be obtained from other sources with your consent. Your personal information is obtained, used and shared only with your consent.

    When you do business with Poly Placements the information we collect will be collected by your consent. Except as explained “Exceptions where we may disclose information without consent” we do not share information about you with anyone outside of Poly Placements without your consent.

    Forms of consent

    Consent may be given either explicitly or implicitly. Express consent may be given though writing, verbally or electronic means. For example consent may be given by you signing a contract or agreement that states “I agree to the terms” or by responding to a direct question from a Poly Placements employee or by clicking on an “I agree” or “I consent” button online.

    Implicit consent is given for the collection and use of information for a specific purpose when you make use of the services Poly Placements offers. For example in creating an online profile to apply for a position advertised on our website you are consenting to Poly Placements collecting and using personal information about you for this purpose.

    Exceptions where we may disclose information without consent

    There are two exceptions where we may collect, use or disclose personal information without consent.

    1. Where required by or permitted by law. We may be compelled to release information by a court of law or other legal agency. If so, our policy is to release information only to the extent that we have to.
    2. If we use an outside supplied to do work for us. At times we may use the expertise of outside suppliers to do work for us involving some of your information. We select outside suppliers carefully and confirm that they use privacy and security standards that meet our criteria. To the best of out ability only those suppliers who can maintain the confidentiality and security of any information provided to them from us are chosen. However, we are not responsible for any breaches of information as a result of a security failure of a supplier.

    You can withdraw your consent

    Subject to legal and contractual requirements, you may change or withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will generally impact our ability to provide you with the level of service you may be accustomed to. We will explain the impact on you to help you with your decision.

    When you change or withdraw your consent we will do our best to make sure that our files are updated as quickly as possible but it may take some time for all our records to reflect your changes.

    We protect your information

    We limit access to the personal information we collect about you and store it securely. Employees who have access to your information are made aware of how to keep it confidential. Outside suppliers to Poly Placements are required to maintain confidentiality and security of your personal information and not to use it for any unauthorized purpose.
