• For identifying injured, ill, or deceased people and communicating with next of kin.

• If the owner has reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be a victim of financial abuse.

• If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information, and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province.

• If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records.

The owner will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

 

When the owner has no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, the owner will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then the owner will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

 

6. DOES THE OWNER COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In short, the owner does not knowingly collect data from or market to children under eighteen years of age or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction.

By using the services, you represent that you are at least eighteen or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the services. If the owner learns that personal information from users of less than eighteen years of age or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction has been collected, the owner will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from the owner’s records. If you become aware of any data the owner may have collected from children under the age of eighteen or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction, please contact the owner at garriganjobsearch@outlook.com.

 

7. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In short, depending on your state of residence in the US or in some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state of residence.

 

In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include (i) the right to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information; (ii) the right to request rectification or erasure; (iii) the right to restrict the processing of your personal information; (iv) the right, if applicable, to data portability; and (v) the right not to be subject to automated decision-making. If a decision that produces legal or similarly significant effects is made solely by automated means, the owner will inform you, explain the main factors, and offer a straightforward way to request human review. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by contacting the owner using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT THE OWNER ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.

 

The owner will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email the owner at garriganjobsearch@outlook.com.

 

8. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, the owner does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that the owner must follow in the future, the owner will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.

 

California law requires the owner to let you know how the owner responds to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, the owner does not respond to them currently.

More information is provided below.
