How we handle your information
NS Employment Agency is an operating name of VCEE Education & Employment Agency Ltd. This page explains what personal information we collect when you apply for work or ask us for workers, why we collect it, who we share it with, and how you can see it or have it deleted.
Who is responsible
Questions about your information go to our privacy contact at [email protected], or by mail at Unit 334, 5991 Spring Garden Road, Halifax, NS B3H 1Y6.
What we collect
- Job seekers: your name, phone number, email, the town you live in, the work you want, when and where you can work, whether you are entitled to work in Canada, driving licence details if you want a driving job, and the experience and training you tell us about. If you give us a resume, we keep that too.
- Employers: your name, business name, phone number, email, and the details of the jobs you want filled.
We do not ask for your Social Insurance Number, date of birth, nationality, photo or pay history on this website. Please don't send them to us here.
Later, and only with your permission, we may check your references, look at the document that shows you can work in Canada (we note that we saw it, and do not keep a copy), and ask for a driver's abstract or check a professional licence if the job needs one. If we employ you ourselves on a temporary assignment, we will also need your Social Insurance Number and banking details to pay you.
Why we collect it
We use job seekers' information to match them with jobs, to contact them about those jobs, and to keep the records the law requires. We use employers' information to understand and fill their staffing requests.
Who we share it with
- Employers: we send a job seeker's details to an employer only after that job seeker agrees to be put forward for that specific job.
- Service providers: Cloudflare hosts this website and runs its spam check, Resend delivers form messages to our inbox, and Google Workspace holds our email. They handle information for us and may not use it for anything else. They keep it on servers outside Canada, mostly in the United States, where the authorities of that country may be able to access it under their laws.
- When the law requires it: for example, if a government agency asks for records it is entitled to see.
We never sell personal information.
How the forms work
When you press send on a form, your answers go from this website to our inbox, through Cloudflare (which hosts the site) and Resend (which delivers the message to us). Resend keeps a copy for up to 30 days on servers in the United States, then deletes it. We do not keep a copy anywhere else.
To stop spam, the forms use Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that a person, not a program, is sending them. To do that it looks at your IP address and browser details, and Cloudflare uses them only for that check. This website does not use tracking or advertising cookies, and loads nothing else from other companies.
If the website cannot send your message, it offers to open your own email app with your answers filled in instead.
How long we keep it
We keep a job seeker's information for two years after we last hear from them, and an employer's request or a message to us for two years after we last deal with it, then delete it. Some records, such as those about work people did through us, the law requires us to keep longer, and we keep those for as long as it requires. You can ask us to delete your information sooner at any time, unless we have to keep it by law.
Like any website host, Cloudflare sees the IP address of each visitor to this site. We do not use it to identify you.
How we protect it
Only our staff who place workers can see job seekers' information. We keep it in password-protected accounts and do not leave paper copies unsecured.
If your information is ever lost or accessed without permission in a way that creates a real risk of significant harm to you, we will tell you and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as soon as we can.
Keeping it accurate
Please tell us if your phone number, email or availability changes, so we don't put you forward for work on old details.
Seeing, correcting or deleting your information
You can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by contacting our privacy contact above. We will answer within 30 days. If we need more time, we will tell you in writing within those 30 days, and take no more than 30 more. You can withdraw your consent at any time, and we will stop putting you forward for jobs.
Complaints
If you are not happy with how we handled your information, please tell our privacy contact first. You can also complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
