We may anonymize and aggregate the Personal Information we process in such a way as to ensure that individuals cannot be identified from it. We may use this anonymized and aggregated information for our own purposes including for testing our systems, research, data analysis, developing new services, understanding the labour marketplace and improving our website and our services. We may share this anonymized and aggregated information with third parties.

Consent

The knowledge and consent of the individual are required for the collection, use, or disclosure of Personal Information, except in certain circumstances as described below.

In certain circumstances, Irrigation Job may collect, use or disclose Personal Information without the knowledge and consent of the individual. For example, legal, medical or security reasons may make it impossible or impractical to seek consent. When information is being collected for the detection and prevention of fraud or for law enforcement, seeking the consent of the individual might defeat the purpose of collecting the information. Seeking consent may be impossible or inappropriate where there is an emergency threatening the individual’s life, health or security, or where the individual is a minor, seriously ill, or mentally incapacitated. In other instances, information may be publicly available.

Where appropriate, Irrigation Job will generally seek consent for the use or disclosure of the information at the time of collection. In certain circumstances, consent with respect to use or disclosure may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, when Irrigation Job wants to use information for a purpose other than those identified above).

In obtaining consent, Irrigation Job will use reasonable efforts to ensure that a User is advised of the identified purposes for which Personal Information collected will be used or disclosed.

The form of consent sought by Irrigation Job may vary, depending upon the circumstances and type of information disclosed. In determining the appropriate form of consent, we shall consider the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the reasonable expectations of Users.

Irrigation Job will seek express consent when the information is likely to be considered sensitive. Implied consent will generally be appropriate where the information is less sensitive. In certain circumstances, consent may be implied by a User’s actions. For example, providing us Personal Information to create an account is implied consent to use such information to provide the associated services.

You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, however, withdrawing consent may result in our inability to provide you with certain Services. To withdraw consent, you must provide notice to Irrigation Job in writing.

Irrigation Job as a Service Provider

We collect and process Personal Information on behalf of our clients in the provision of our services. In these circumstances Irrigation Job is acting as a service provider and our clients remain the responsible organization in respect of Personal Information, they provide to us or that we collect on their behalf. To the extent that we are acting as a service provider, we will process and use such personal information in accordance with our client’s instructions and any agreement in place with our customers. Irrigation Job will only use such personal information for the purposes of providing the services for which our clients have engaged us.

Our clients are responsible for ensuring that these individuals’ privacy is respected, including communicating to the individuals in their own privacy policies to whom Personal Information is being transferred to and processed by.

As a service provider, Irrigation Job may share Personal Information where instructed by our clients (the responsible organization). Where authorized by our client, we may also share Personal Information with third party service providers who work for Irrigation Job and who are subject to security and confidentiality obligations. Moreover, Irrigation Job may provide Personal Information to comply with a subpoena, warrant or other court order, government institution requesting the information upon lawful authority, or as may be otherwise required by law.

Where Irrigation Job is acting as a service provider, we will refer any request from an individual for access to Personal Information which we hold about them to our clients. Irrigation Job will not respond directly to the request.

Irrigation Job will retain Personal Information which we process on behalf of our clients for as long as needed to provide services to our customers and in accordance with any agreement in place with our clients.

We may anonymize and aggregate the Personal Information we process in such a way as to ensure that individuals cannot be identified from it.

Your Ad Choices: Interest-Based Advertising

Our website uses small pixel files (small images) and cookies (small text files) to keep track of your browser so that you will be recognized when you visit other websites where our third-party ad management providers may show you advertisements from us based on your visit to our website. Some of these advertisements may be customized to particular products and services that you viewed, or they may be based on inferences about products and services that you might be interested in. This is called “interest-based advertising”.

These pixel files and cookies are generally valid for a limited number of days (usually no more than 90 days) and are provided by our ad management providers. We require our ad management providers to participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada’s Ad Choices Program. Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada: Your AdChoices website (http://www.youradchoices.ca) where you can find out more information about digital advertising and how you can opt-out of interest-based advertising. You can also opt-out of interest-based advertising using the link provided in any of our interest-based advertisements. Look for the Ad Choices icon or other link provided.

Please note that if you opt-out of interest-based advertising you may still see advertisements from us on other websites. However, they will not be customized based on your browsing history on our website. In addition, we will continue to customize our offers of products and services to you when you are on our website unless you block cookies from our website. If you block cookies on our website, certain functions, such as the “shopping cart” will not function properly because our website must recognize you as you move through the checkout process.

Irrigation Job uses Google Analytics, which is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor use of the Services. The data is shared with other Google services. Google Analytics uses cookies to track information about traffic and visitors and sends such information: (i) to Google servers in the United States and (ii) to Irrigation Job. Google Analytics does not identify any individual users or associate Your IP address with any other data held by Google. Irrigation Job uses such information in the aggregate to compile statistical reports about the activity on our website as well as to benchmark the website to other third parties who also use Google Analytics. In addition, Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

Do We Disclose Your Personal Information to Others?

We may share your Personal Information with our service providers that help us with our business operations. For example, we may transfer information with service providers who provide us with Cloud-based applicant tracking services. We require our service providers to keep your Personal Information secure. In addition, our service providers may not use or disclose Personal Information for any purpose other than providing the services on our behalf unless we or they have obtained your consent.

We may disclose your Personal Information to employers about job opportunities that you are interested in or for which you may be suitably qualified for. We will obtain your express consent before disclosing your Personal Information to employers. If you apply for a job directly through our job board, the act of applying is implied consent to provide associated Personal Information to that employer.

We may transfer any information we have about you in connection with a merger or sale (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) involving all or part of our business or as part of a corporate reorganization or stock sale or other change in corporate control.

Subject to the foregoing, only Irrigation Job’s and our service providers’ employees with a business need to know, or whose duties reasonably so require, are granted access to Personal Information about Users. All such employees will be required as a condition of employment to contractually respect the confidentiality of your Personal Information.

We may also disclose your Personal Information where we have reason to believe that it is relevant to the investigation or decision to investigate a breach of the laws of Canada, a province or territory of Canada, or a foreign jurisdiction, and we are legally permitted to do so.

Law Enforcement Requests

We will disclose Personal Information without your knowledge or consent if we receive an order, subpoena, warrant or other legal requirement issued by a court, tribunal, regulator or other person with jurisdiction to compel disclosure of your personal information.

Storage Outside of Canada

We may transfer Personal Information to our service providers outside of Canada. We require that our service providers safeguard your Personal Information. However, if your Personal Information is used or stored outside of Canada, it will also be subject to the laws of the country in which it is used or stored.

How Do You Access and Modify Your Personal Information or Make a Complaint?

If you have questions or concerns about Personal Information collected by us and would like assistance accessing that information, please contact Irrigation Job. As noted above, when we act as a service provider on behalf of clients, we will direct such requests to our applicable client.

How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?

We have implemented administrative, technical and physical measures to safeguard your Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access of Personal Information. This includes:

utilizing access controls and firewall controls of computer servers;
limiting access of employees to, and the use of, Personal Information through the use of passwords and graduated levels of clearance.
the use of pseudonymization and encryption of Personal Information, where appropriate;
measures to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services; and
a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing of Personal Information.

Although we take precautions against possible breaches of our security systems, no company can fully eliminate the risks of unauthorized access to your Personal Information and no website is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or breaches of our security systems will never occur. Accordingly, you should not transmit Personal Information to us using our website if you consider that information to be sensitive.

Links to Third-Party Websites

You may be able to access third-party websites through links available on our websites. These links are provided for your convenience. We do not have any control over those third-party websites, and we do not provide any guarantee that the privacy practices of the hosts of those websites meet our standards. Your use of such third-party websites is at your own risk and will be governed by the privacy policies of those websites and not by this Privacy Policy. Do not transmit Personal Information using those websites without reading the privacy policies governing those websites.

Notice to Persons Outside of Canada

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Canada and applicable provincial laws. By submitting Personal Information to us, you understand that your Personal Information will be subject to the laws of Canada and applicable provincial laws.
