Terms and Conditions of Use

Terms and Conditions

Our use of the personal information you submit upon registration or subsequently is governed by our Privacy Policy, which stipulates among other things the reasons why personal information is collected, the uses that will be made of your personal information, the categories of Canadian Gigs Network (or it is owners) employees who will have access to it, the place where your personal information file will be kept, your rights of access and rectification and the third parties to whom we may transmit your personal information. For your convenience, we highlight below sections of our PRIVACY POLICY that address our use of your resumes. You can read the full version of our privacy policy which you can find at the bottom of this page.

PRIVACY POLICY WITH RESPECT TO USE OF RESUMES

As part of the services Canadian Gigs Network (or it is owners) provides, you are able to post your resume on our Website. This section of Canadian Gigs Network (or it is owners) Privacy Policy applies to the use of your resume by Canadian Gigs Network (or it is owners). Resumes are accessed by employers ("Employers") who use your resume for internal job postings and by recruiters ("Recruiters") who seek to find you employment with third parties ("Third Parties"). You will be allowing all organizations who search Canadian Gigs Network (or it is owners) resume service to access your resume and to contact you, or to those organizations to whom you choose to apply for a job. Canadian Gigs Network (or it is owners) restricts Employers from using your resume other than for internal recruiting purposes, and restricts Recruiters from disclosing your resume to Third Parties other than for a specific job posting. Employers and Recruiters are not permitted to disclose information outside their organization or beyond the Third Party, as applicable. Recruiters are also required to have entered into an agreement with Third Parties that requires such Third Parties to use your resume solely for the purpose of filling a job within the Third Party for which the information was provided and not disclosing your resume outside the organization. However, although Canadian Gigs Network (or it is owners) deals only with reputable organizations, we cannot guarantee that all Employers, Recruiters and Third Parties will adhere to the limitations we impose on them. If at any time you would like your resume removed from our Website, you may do so by using the "delete my Profile" function located in the Profile section. However, Employers and Recruiters who have paid to access the resume database or for whose job posting you may have applied may have already retained a copy of your resume in their own files and databases. Some job postings which are posted on the Canadian Gigs Network Site allow you to follow links to where you can apply, and provide your resume, for a specific job posting. If you are not asked to login using your CanadianGigs.Net Registration User ID and password, then both the application process, and your resume are outside the Canadian Gigs Network Site and Canadian Gigs Network (or it is owners) control. In such cases you will be providing your resume directly to the Employer or Recruiter and your resume will be subject to their privacy policy. Canadian Gigs Network (or it is owners) is not responsible for the privacy practices of such Employer or Recruiter. In such cases, we encourage you to review the Employer or Recruiter's privacy policy.

Although we use all reasonable means to protect your personal information, Canadian Gigs Network (or it is owners) is not responsible for any improper use of your personal information that is beyond our reasonable control. Please take the time to read our Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use of our Site.
