Human resource files as well as information regarding payroll and benefits coverage is accessible to those Company individuals who have been designated with such authority and only to the extent necessary to accomplish the objectives we’ve described above, or to the Company’s relevant benefits and/or payroll providers. All personal employee/contractor information maintained within the Company is centrally located and is maintained secure and confidential. All personal information provided to the Company’s benefits and/or payroll providers is disclosed only upon assurances that those providers maintain similar standards of personal information protection.
We retain your information for only so long as is necessary for the purposes for which it has been collected. Your personal information will be destroyed once it is no longer needed by us and once all requirements at law have been met.
There are some instances where we may need to disclose personal information to a third party service provider. Whenever we engage a third party service provider, we confirm that its privacy and security standards meet our requirements. In the event that a third party service provider is located outside of Canada, the government, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of that jurisdiction may be able to obtain disclosure of your personal information through the laws of that jurisdiction.
