A. TERMS OF SERVICE FOR JOB SEEKERS
Talent.com offers Job Seekers the ability to search for job opportunities in its database using its
job
search engine (“Job Search”), to receive information about job opportunities through emails or
electronic
messages when subscribing to its job alert service (“Job Alerts”) and to find job related
information, such
as salary data, income tax data and other relevant information about the job market using a variety
of
tools. Job Seekers can also apply for jobs using our Services. Some of these
Services
are only available for registered Users and others are available to all Users, whether they have a
Talent.com profile account or not.
1. Creating a Job Seeker Profile Account
Talent.com offers multiple methods for creating a Talent profile account and becoming a registered
User of our
Services (“Profile Account”).
A Profile Account will be automatically created for you when you sign up to our Job Alerts service
or when
you apply to a job through our Website. If you no longer want to have an active Profile Account with
us, you
may delete your account in your settings.
You can manually create a Profile Account by providing your first name, last name and a valid email
address.
The email you use must be one where we can reach you. In the event we cannot correspond with you via
this
email address, your submitted content may be rejected, and your account may be disabled. To complete
your
registration, you may be required to enter a one-time 6-digit code sent via the email address you
provided
and/or a password. Once your account is created, you will be given access to your profile and other
private
areas of your account. We will update your account with jobs you have applied to or favourited.
You may also be able to create a Profile Account and subsequently access such account through
third-party websites including, but not limited to LinkedIn or Google (“Social Media"). If you
create and
access your Profile Account using a Social Media account, you agree that we may access, make
available, and
store (if applicable) any information, data, text, messages, tags, and/or other materials stored and
made
accessible in your account with such Social Media so that it is available on and through
Talent.com via your Profile Account.
Subject to the account privacy settings that you have set with such Social Media account you use to
access
your Profile Account, personally identifiable information that you post to that site may be
displayed on
Talent.com such as name, last name, email address, phone number or location. Please note that your
relationship with your Social Media is governed solely by your agreement with such Social Media and
we
disclaim any liability for personally identifiable information that may be provided to us by a
Social Media
site in violation of terms and conditions of services of the Social Media, of the privacy settings
that you
have set with that Social Media or of the laws applicable to that Social Media.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Profile Account. You agree to notify
us
immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or password. You are solely
responsible for
any and all use of your Profile Account.
2. Searching for Jobs
The Talent.com Job Search tool, which is free to those Job Seekers searching for employment
opportunities ("Job
Ads”), offers the ability to search through a database of job opportunities using key words, both as
a
registered User and as a non-registered User. These Job Ads are made available on our Website by
Employers using
our Services or may be automatically indexed by us from external third-party sources and may include
links to
third-party websites. Talent.com has no obligation to include any Job Ads in its search results or
other
listings and may exclude or remove any Job Ads from the Website for any or no reason.
Job Ads are User Content, meaning that they are created and provided by third parties and not by
Talent.com.
Talent.com exercises no control over and assumes no responsibility for any User Content generally
and Job Ads
specifically. Please read over Section C.3 of our Terms of Service on User Content to find out more.
As Talent.com has no obligation to screen any Job Ads or to verify the identity of the Employer
posting such Job
Ads, we caution Job Seekers to verify the validity of a Job Ad before taking any actions regarding
their current
employment situations.
3. Making a Job Application
When you submit a job application in response to a Job Ad (“Job Application”), you may do so as a
registered
User through your Profile Account, or as an unregistered User. A Job Ad will prompt you to apply
either directly
on our Website (“Apply on Talent.com”) or you will be re-directed to apply on the third-party
Employer’s site
(“Apply on Company Website.”).
Once you submit a Job Application, whether you do so using the Apply on Talent.com or the Apply on
Company
Website, your resume and other application information you decide to submit will be shared with the
Employer
and/or entity that posted the Job Ad, as long as any parameters selected by that entity are met, if
applicable.
You should therefore ensure that the information you provide is complete and accurate, and only
contains
information that you are comfortable sharing. The Employer account holders receiving your Job
Application agree
to comply with their obligations under these Terms of Service and applicable laws, including data
privacy laws,
and should not use the information for purposes other than hiring. However, once a Job Application
is submitted,
Talent.com cannot guarantee that your Job Application will be held in confidence or properly secured
by the
applicable recipient nor that the Job Application will be received, reviewed or responded to by the
Employer.
When you make a Job Application using the Apply on Company Website feature, you are leaving our
Website and
entering into a third-party website. Talent.com has no control over any conditions third parties
might impose on
such third-party website and Talent.com is not responsible or liable for any such third party
content or for the
availability of, or the materials located on, or through, any external websites. Your use of all
such external
websites is at your own risk. When you are entering into an agreement with such parties, you are
giving them
your data and your rights, and their obligations are determined by their privacy policy and terms of
service.
You will be notified on the site that these are third party sites and services, and not Talent.com.
When you are making a Job Application using Apply on Talent.com, we collect and process you
application data,
which may contain Personal Data. To see how we handle your Personal Data when you make a Job
Application using
Apply on Talent.com, we invite you to read our
Privacy Policy.
Talent.com may use your application materials and location to send you information and Job Alerts
about Jobs Ads
that may be of interest to you.
4. Subscribing to Job Alerts
We offer our Users a Job Alerts service where they can receive Job Ads that may be of interest to
them based on
their profile, job search activity, saved jobs and applied jobs. Our Job Alerts service is
accessible via email,
and, in certain countries, via text messages (SMS) and WhatsApp.
In addition to manually subscribing to our Job Alerts service, either directly on our Website or
through our
partners' websites, if you make a Job Application and/or create a Profile Account, you may agree to
receive
email
Job Alerts that may be of interest to you. You can edit or change the type of Job Alerts you want to
receive by
accessing the Job Alerts tab in your Profile Account. You may unsubscribe to Job Alerts by (a)
clicking on the
unsubscribe link in your Job Alert email, (b) by unsubscribing from Job Alerts in your Profile
Account under "My
notifications", (c) by contacting our Customer Service department at
[email protected]
or (d) by closing your Profile Account. If you have subscribed to SMS or WhatsApp Job Alerts
service, you may
also unsubscribe by following the instructions in Section A.5. of our Terms of Service. Note that
while you can
opt out of Job Alert and marketing messages, you cannot opt out of service-related email
communications,
including those related to security, legal notices, your account, or your use of our Services unless
you
deactivate your account and stop using our Services.
5. Specific terms applicable to Job Alerts using SMS or WhatsApp
Depending on your country of residence, Talent.com may offer its Job Alert service through text
messages (SMS)
and/or WhatsApp. If you subscribe to this Service, you have to be the owner of the mobile phone
entered or be
authorized to use this mobile phone to receive our messages. The number of messages you receive may
vary
depending on the number of recent jobs matching your search, the jobs you applied to, and if you
sent us a
message asking us for extra support via text message. Your carrier may charge fees for you to
receive messages
and may set limits to the number of messages you may receive, which are solely governed by the
agreement you
have
with your carrier. Talent.com is not responsible for undelivered messages caused by any restriction
linked to
the plan and mobile carrier you have. If you are receiving our Job Alerts via WhatsApp, you
acknowledge that
your relationship with WhatsApp is governed solely by your agreement with WhatsApp. We disclaim any
liability
for personally identifiable information that may be provided to us by WhatsApp in violation of the
privacy
settings that you have set with WhatsApp, of their terms and conditions of services, or of the laws
applicable
to them. By agreeing to these terms and/or subscribing to Job Alerts, you consent to receive
recurring calls and
texts by or on behalf of Talent.com and our affiliates and marketing partners for information and
advertising
purposes, including by automated technology or recorded message, to the numbers(s) you provide. You
understand
consent is not a condition of purchase, and that you can opt out of future communications as
described below.
If you want to stop receiving Job Alerts via SMS, you can do so by following the instructions
provided in
Section A.4 of our Terms of Service or, if you are in the US or Canada, you can stop receiving Job
Alerts via
SMS by texting STOP to +1 (844) 794-9497 via your mobile device or, if you are in the UK, by
clicking on the
unsubscribe link you received from Talent.com via your mobile device. If you want to stop receiving
Job Alerts
via WhatsApp, you can also revoke your consent at any time by replying "STOP" via WhatsApp.
6. Salary Tool, Tax Calculator and Other Information Provided by
Talent.com
Depending on your country of residence, Talent.com may provide you with a variety of tools giving
you access to
salary data (“Salary Tool”), income tax data (“Tax Calculator”) and other career and job market
information
(“Talentpedia”). Our Salary Tool, Tax Calculator and Talentpedia rely on data submitted to
Talent.com by third
parties and such data may not be accurate or reliable and is provided for informational purposes
only. For
example, our Salary Tool uses approximations of salary figures based upon multiple third party
submissions.
These figures are given to Users for the purpose of generalized comparison only. Minimum wage may
differ by
jurisdiction, and you should consult the Employer for actual salary figures related to a specific
Job Ad.
Similarly, tax-related information provided through our Tax Calculator is based upon multiple
third-party
submissions. You understand that Talent.com is not giving any tax advice, suggestions or
best-practices through
your use of these Services. You should consult a tax expert before making any career decision based
on the
information we make available through our Tax Calculator. Any use or reliance upon our Salary Tool,
Tax
Calculator and Talentpedia shall be at your own risk.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or the provisions of Section C.13 of our Terms of
Service: (I)
SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS; (II)
ANY USE OR
RELIANCE UPON ANY PORTION OF THE SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA SHALL BE AT YOUR OWN
RISK. TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS OF DATA USED BY OUR SALARY TOOL,
TAX
CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THE USE
OF THIS DATA AND SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY,
COMPLETENESS,
CORRECTNESS, QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND (III) NEITHER WE NOR ANY THIRD PARTY
PROVIDER OF
THIS DATA AND SERVICES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, COST OR DAMAGE SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY USE BY
YOU OF THE
SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA.
7. Governing law
Unless otherwise required by law, if you are contracting with Talent.com as a Job Seeker, this
Agreement and any
dispute related to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or related in any way to
our Services,
or our relationship (“Dispute”) will be governed by and under the laws of the Province of Québec and
the laws of
Canada applicable therein, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles thereof.
8. Dispute resolution
Unless otherwise required by law or unless you are a Job Seeker located in the United States (in
which case the
Arbitration Agreement set out in Section A.10 of this Agreement applies), any and all
actions, lawsuits, or
other legal proceedings related to such Dispute shall be filed only in courts located in the
Province of Québec,
Canada and you hereby consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the
Province of
Québec, Canada. You also hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any action or
litigation in
any way arising out of or related to your use of our Services or these Terms of Service.
9. Class Action Waiver
By using our Service and in return for the Services offered by Talent.com, you acknowledge that we
can only
offer you the Services under the terms and conditions as presented herein. As partial consideration
for your use
of our Services, you agree not to sue Talent.com as a class plaintiff or class representative, join
as a class
member, or participate as an adverse party in any way in a class-action lawsuit against Talent.com
regarding
your use of our Services, where permitted. Additionally, as a Job Seeker, you acknowledge that your
use of our
free Services on our Website is not purchased. Your acceptance of this Agreement, including this
Class Action
Waiver, is an essential part of this Agreement allowing your free use of our Services. If you do not
agree to
any part of these terms, do not continue your use of our Services. Nothing in this paragraph,
however, limits
your rights to bring a lawsuit as an individual plaintiff, subject to Sections A.8 and A.10 of this
Agreement.
10. Arbitration Agreement
This Section A.10, referred to as the "Agreement to Arbitrate", only applies if you are a
resident of the United
States at the time you became bound to the Agreement or thereafter. Unless you opt out pursuant to
the opt out
procedures set forth below, you and Talent.com agree that to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any
Dispute will, at the election of either party, be resolved by arbitration, including any dispute
about
arbitrability, such as scope and enforceability. The right and obligation to arbitrate under this
Section
extends to all Disputes, including those against or involving third parties such as Talent.com or
its
affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, members, partners, subsidiaries,
joint
venturers, or contractors.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other
party
(“Notice”), by certified first class mail or overnight courier (signature required) or by electronic
mail with
return and delivery receipts requested for both methods. Talent.com’s address for Notice is:
Talent.com Inc.,
5800 St-Denis Street, Suite 604, Montreal, Québec, Canada, H2S 3L5, Attention: Legal Department.
The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the
specific relief
sought. We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an
agreement to
do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Talent.com may commence an arbitration
proceeding.
During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Talent.com shall not be
disclosed to
the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
Except as expressly provided herein, any arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the applicable
rules of the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or such other alternative dispute resolution body and
arbitration
rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and Talent.com (the “Arbitration Rules”). Your
arbitration fees
and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by such rules. Should the AAA be
unavailable,
unable, or unwilling to accept and administer the arbitration of any claim under Agreement to
Arbitrate as
written, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization, such as JAMS, that will
enforce the
arbitration provisions as written. The parties will select a single arbitrator, but in the event
that the
parties are unable to agree, the arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules. The
arbitrator
will be a practicing attorney with significant expertise in litigating and/or presiding over cases
involving the
substantive legal areas involved in the dispute. The arbitration will be concluded within three
months of the
date the arbitrator is appointed. More information about arbitration, including the Arbitration
Rules, is
available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
Unless otherwise provided by the applicable arbitration rules, any arbitration hearings will take
place at a
location to be agreed upon, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, including any
potentially
recoverable attorneys’ fees, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (a) solely on
the basis of
documents submitted to the arbitrator; or (b) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing. The
arbitrator
must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except
as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Talent.com may litigate in court to compel
arbitration, stay
proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered
by the
arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the
arbitrator, will
be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
YOU AND TALENT.COM AGREE THAT CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL, NON-CLASS, AND
NON-REPRESENTATIVE
CAPACITY, AND THAT CLAIMS OF TWO OR MORE PERSONS MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED ABSENT
CONSENT OF ALL
PARTIES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND TALENT.COM HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL AND
STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JURY, EVEN FOR DISPUTES NOT
SUBJECT TO
ARBITRATION. You and Talent.com agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the
above
provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration and will instead be adjudicated
by the
appropriate court of the state where you are located: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or
protect, or
concerning the validity of, any of your or Talent.com intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute
related to,
or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy or unauthorized use by you; and (3) any claim or
dispute for which
applicable law (as determined by a binding court decision) or the applicable arbitration rules do
not permit
arbitration and require adjudication in a specific civil court.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in this
Section A.10 by
sending written notice of your decision to opt out to Talent.com Inc., 5800 St-Denis Street, Suite
604,
Montreal, Québec, Canada, H2S 3L5, Attention: Legal Department or to Talent.com Inc., c/o Kabat
Chapman & Ozmer LLP, 171 17th Street NW, Suite 1550, Atlanta GA 30363. The written notice must
include: (1)
name; (2) address; (3) phone number; and (4) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this
Agreement to
Arbitrate. The notice must be sent to Talent.com within thirty (30) days of you registering to use
the Services
or agreeing to these Terms of Service, whichever occurs first, otherwise you shall be bound to
arbitrate
disputes in accordance with the terms of Section A.10. If you opt out of these arbitration
provisions, we also
will not be bound by them. Please note that you will continue to be bound by any older arbitration
provision
that you did not out opt of and any arbitration provision that otherwise governs the Disputes.
Unless prohibited by applicable law or the Arbitration Rules, the substantially prevailing party in
any Dispute
between the parties may recover their reasonable costs and fees incurred in connection with such
matter,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees
If any provision of this Agreement to Arbitrate is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision
shall be
severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced, except that if the class action
waiver above is
found unenforceable, the entire Agreement to Arbitrate is void, other than the jury waiver
provision.

Employer account (“Employer Account”) where you will be required to provide your name, your last

responsible for all
activity, acts or omissions of any person or entity that has access or use of your account (your
“Authorized

(i) you
will not share login credentials and account information with third parties; (ii) you will not sell

will ensure
that Authorized Users comply with this Agreement and any other Terms of Service or other agreement

settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs)
that result
from the authorized or unauthorized access to your account, and any authorized or unauthorized
purchases made
under your account.
2. Posting and Distributing Job Ads
Talent.com will post and distribute your Job Ads and other recruitment-related data or information
that you or
your Authorized Users provide to us, throughout our distribution channels, including on our Website
and mobile
applications, through our Job Alerts service to Job Seekers and through our network of third-party
publishing
partners (our “Distribution Channels”). In addition to your Job Ads, you may provide other
recruitment-related
data or information, including, without limitation, screening requirements, screening questions,
screening
criteria, company information, links, logos and trademarks and any other data and information
submitted by you
and your Authorized Users to the Service (the “Employer User Content”). Your Employer User Content
may be
provided to Talent.com for posting and distribution on our Distribution Channels either using our
job posting
Services or via different transmission methods, as agreed to with Talent.com, including XML feed,
API or by
allowing Talent.com to index the User Content that is present on another website or service you own
or control
to retrieve such User Content for use on the Services. If you use Talent.com's API you agree to
comply with our API documentation.
By submitting Job Ads to Talent.com, including using a paid feature of our Services, you agree that
Talent.com
is under no obligation to accept, publish, or distribute your Job Ads or other Employer User
Content, including
if they do not comply with this Agreement. Talent.com may, under its sole discretion, require
Employer User
Content and/or Employers to be verified to prevent fraud or abuse of our Services, to improve our
Services, or
for any other reason.
You agree that Talent.com may solely determine which Job Ads will be distributed to which
Distribution Channels.
However, you acknowledge and accept that we have no control over the Distribution Channels or
communication
networks, and therefore we provide no guarantee that your Job Ads will be accepted by an entity in
the
Distribution Channels or be received, read and/or responded to by a Job Seeker. You accept that
entities in the
Distribution Channels have no obligation to use or display a Job Ad and may reject a Job Ad for any
reason or no
reason. You agree that Talent.com is not liable to you or any third party if your Job Ad is rejected
or not
posted, and you will not be entitled to any refund for Job Ad not posted or distributed. By
submitting a Job Ad,
you give us permission to distribute that Job Ad and any other Employer User Content in the
Distribution
Channels.
Talent.com does not guarantee any responses or any number of responses to your Job Ad, nor does it
guarantee any
number of views, clicks, or applications, or that any responses to your Job Ad will be from
individuals suitable
for the job vacancy you advertised. We do not verify the identity of any Job Seekers who respond to
your Job Ad
and thus make no guarantee as to the quality of candidates that you will receive as a result of your
Job Ad. You
are solely responsible for interviewing, performing background and reference checks on, verifying
the
information
provided by Job Seekers, and for selecting an appropriate candidate. Talent.com also assumes no
responsibility
for the communications between you and any Job Seeker.

5. Data Protection
By using our Services as an Employer, you agree to comply with applicable communication, privacy and
data
protection laws and regulations as they relate to your operations and the residency of the Job

interacting with you in the context of our Services. More specifically, you represent and agree that
that: (i)
you will use the Personal Data of Job Seekers contained within any Job Application or otherwise
obtained or
accessed by you through the Services (the “Data”), in accordance with applicable communication,
privacy and data
protection laws and only for legitimate employment purposes; (ii) you shall not further disclose any
such Data
to a third party, unless you are an authorized third-party acting on behalf of a client, and you are

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Personal Data” means any information or pieces of information
that could
identify an individual either directly (e.g. a name) or indirectly (e.g. through pseudonymized data,
such as a
unique ID number). This means that Personal Data includes things like email/home addresses,
usernames, profile
pictures, personal preferences, financial information, as well as unique numerical identifiers like
a computer’s
IP address.
Talent.com makes no representations or warranties regarding any content provided or generated by
third parties,
including, without limitation, Job Applications. You accept that Talent.com acts as a passive
conduit for
receipt of Job Applications and has no obligation to screen such information, verify the identity of
the person
submitting the Job Application, or verify the accuracy of the data or content contained in the Job
Application.
We do not guarantee any response or the number of responses to your Job Ads or that any responses
will be from
individuals suitable for the job vacancy you advertised. It is your responsibility to carry out such
checks and
procedures as are necessary to ensure that individuals who respond to your Job Ads have the required
qualifications to meet your requirements.
In addition, you agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Talent.com at your own expense
against all costs,
claims, damages or expenses incurred by Talent.com for which we may become liable due to any failure
by you or

data
protection and privacy laws and regulations.
In some instances, you may be able to use Talent.com’s tools for the purpose of measuring the
performance of
your Job Ads, including for instance, Talent.com’s conversion pixels or server to server
integration. These
tools are provided as a courtesy, and we may disable them at any time. You are solely responsible
for your use
of the pixels on your website, and Talent.com disclaims all liability related to such use and
provides no
warranty regarding the proper functioning of the pixel, any numbers reported, or that use of the
pixels would be
error free. You are advised not to rely on the pixel. Any such tracking pixel, or analytics
generated thereby,
shall not be used to dispute or challenge our click count, which is binding. You agree not to use
the
information collected using tracking pixels for any purpose other than for measuring the performance
of your Job
Ads. For example, you may not use the pixel to profile users or for behavioral analytics. To the
extent you
decide to use such pixels, you agree to be in compliance with all applicable laws, including, but
not limited
to, privacy and data protection laws and, among other things, update your privacy and cookie policy
to describe
the use of such pixels and to seek consent for the use of the pixel from users when they enter your
website. You
agree to defend and indemnify Talent.com from any claim arising from your use of such pixel.

you will only
post Job Ads in connection with hiring employees for your own organization, and you agree to abide
by our Terms
of Service. Talent.com reserves the right, as determined in Talent.com’s sole discretion, to reject

on a variety of factors, including without limitation the current supply and demand pertaining to

Services,
together with any applicable sales, use, excise, goods and services tax, consumption or other

You represent that you are authorized to use the Payment Method on your company’s behalf, and you
agree to

been
terminated or suspended.
By providing any Payment Method, you agree that applicable credit card, debit card and billing
information may
be shared with third parties such as payment processors and credit agencies, and/or collection

Please refer to our

We continuously test our system for potential breaches and have developed a

encourages and
rewards third parties for identifying security vulnerabilities on our site. We have dedicated
resources
monitoring our servers for any potential intrusions or vulnerabilities. We encrypt our data while
stored and in
transit and have strict access control policies within our organization to control access to the

hacks.

Privacy Policy
Last update: December 20, 2022
(previous version)
This updated Privacy Policy is effective immediately for unregistered users and users
registering after December 20, 2022. For all other users, the updated Privacy Policy will become
effective on January 10, 2023.
ABOUT OUR PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy describes how Talent.com Inc. (“Talent.com,” “we,” “our” or “us”) and our
affiliates handle
the data collected and processed while you use our websites (the “Website”), our mobile
applications, our other
online products and services and while you communicate with us via email, texts and other form of
communications
(together, the “Services”). Talent.com is committed to protecting your privacy through our
compliance with our
Privacy Policy.
Each time you use or access any of our Services, you do so by accepting this Privacy Policy. If you
do not
accept this Privacy Policy, then you should not use our Services. We reserve the right to modify
this Privacy
Policy at any time by notifying you as provided in this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the
Services after
any such change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
1. Who Controls Your Data
Talent.com Inc. is a global company based in Canada. Talent.com Inc. controls the data collected and
processed
through our Services.
Under most circumstances, if you reside in North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico),
Talent.com
acts as your service provider and processor of your Personal Data. For all other users, Talent.com
acts as a
controller of your Personal Data.
2. Types of Data We Collect
Depending on your interaction with us, meaning, if you are a visitor browsing our Website, or if you
have
registered as a user of our Services, either as a job seeker (“Job Seeker”) or as someone looking to
hire or
make available information regarding employment openings (“Job Ads”) on your behalf or on someone
else’s behalf
(“Employer”), we collect and process two types of information about you:
2.1 Personal Data:
This is the type of data that identifies you as a natural person, or that may be used, either alone
or in
combination with other information, to personally identify you as a natural person. As used in this
Privacy
Policy, “Personal Data” may include:
-
Your first name, last name, Social Media profile or similar identifier (“Identity Data”);
-
Your physical address, email address, social media address, mobile or landline telephone
number,
location data and other contact information you may provide (“Contact Data”);
-
Your username and password, user preferences, profile-linked user-generated content such as
Job Ads,
curriculum vitae (CV)/resume, job searches (keyword(s) and location typed in the search bar
or displayed
on the job posting), candidate searches, feedback and survey responses (“Profile Data”);
-
Your applicant-linked user-generated content such as job applications, curriculum vitae
(CV)/resume,
cover letter and answers to employers screening questions (“Application Data”);
-
Details about your subscription to our Service and payments for such Services (“Transaction
Data”) and
billing, banking and payment card information (“Financial Data”). However, please note that
credit card
numbers are not collected by us directly, but by secure payment service providers;
-
Certain technical data about the equipment you use to access our Services (“Technical Data”)
and the way
you use our Services (“Usage Data”). This Technical and Usage Data may be considered
Personal Data in
certain jurisdictions. We refer you to Section 3.3 of this Privacy Policy for more
information about
Technical Data and Usage Data.
2.2 Non-Personal Data:
This is the type of data that is non-personal and non-identifiable data that cannot personally
identify or lead
to identifying a natural person. For example, personal data that is aggregated or converted into
statistics or
anonymized can no longer be attributed to you and is therefore considered Non-Personal Data. In the
event we
combine Personal Data with Non-Personal Data, the combined information will be treated as Personal
Data for as
long as it remains combined.
2.3 Sensitive Personal Data:
To use our Services, you are not required to provide us with any Sensitive Personal Data. Sensitive
Personal
Data includes, for example, information about racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious
beliefs,
philosophical beliefs or trade union membership, genetic and biometric data and data concerning
health, sex life
or sexual orientation. If you are a Job Seeker responding to a Job Advertisement, sharing your
resume with a
prospective Employer, or answering questions from a prospective Employer while using our Services,
please
carefully consider the information that you share and ensure that you are not providing any
Sensitive Personal
Data or other information that is not necessary for your job application or job search.
You are not required by law to provide us with any information. You can always avoid providing us
certain
Personal Data; however, you acknowledge that it may prevent us from providing you certain Services.
3. When do we collect your Personal Data and why
3.1 Personal Data Employers send us
When you are using our Services as an Employer, you may provide your Identity Data, Contact Data,
Profile Data,
Transaction Data and Financial Data to us when you:
-
create an employer account;
-
post or distribute Job Advertisement using our Services;
-
if you opt in to receive newsletters or other communications about new or existing features
or
functionalities that might be of interest to you;
-
request information to be sent to you
-
use our customer service or support, or make technical request;
-
provide feedback to us or respond to a survey;
-
when you communicate with us on any transactional or other matters.
In those circumstances, we use your Personal Data among other things for our legitimate business
interest to
perform and improve the Services you have requested, to respond to your inquiries and provide you
with the
support, information and communications you have asked to receive and to generally perform the
agreement between
you and us. When you communicate with us over the phone, your calls may be recorded and analyzed for
training,
quality control and for sales and marketing purposes. During such calls, we will notify you of the
recording via
either voice prompt or script. When you participate in a survey, we collect information that you
provide through
the survey. If the survey is provided by a third-party service provider, the third party’s privacy
policy
applies to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information. Participation in any such
surveys is
completely voluntary and you, therefore, have a choice whether to disclose such information.
3.2 Personal Data Job Seekers send us
When you are using our Services as a Job Seeker, you may provide us with your Identity Data, Contact
Data,
Profile Data and Application Data when you:
-
create a job seeker account;
-
sign up for job alerts;
-
apply to a Job Advertisement posted on our Website, mobile application or through sponsored
advertisements that we have on third party sites;
-
use our customer service or support, or make technical request;
-
provide feedback to us or respond to a survey;
-
when you communicate with us on any matters.
In those circumstances, we use your Personal Data among other things for our legitimate interest to
perform and
improve the Services you have requested or to respond to your inquiries and provide you with the
support,
information and communications you have asked to receive and to generally perform the agreement
between you and
us. When you subscribe to our email or SMS job alerts, we use your email or phone number, based on
your consent,
to send you personalized and relevant job listings related to your job search. You may manage your
alerts or
unsubscribe at any time from our job alerts Services. See Section 8 of this Privacy Policy for
details on how
to unsubscribe to our Services.
When you apply for a job through our Website or mobile application, we collect and use your
Application Data,
based on your consent, to send to the Employer whose Job Advertisement you responded to. This data
is then
associated with your Job Seeker account, so you can easily apply for subsequent jobs without having
to re-enter
your application information every time. Sometimes, when applying for a job, you may be redirected
to the

4. When do we share your Personal Data and why
In addition to the specific situations discussed elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we may share your

4.1 Job Seekers and Employers

with the Employer. This may include sharing the Application Data with the employer looking to hire,
the agency
recruiting on behalf of the employer and/or the external system such as an applicant tracking system
used by the
employer and/or the agency to manage the hiring of employees. Employer account holders agree to
comply with all
their responsibilities under applicable data protection laws with respect to the collection,
processing, and
storage of Personal Data, as well as providing adequate protection of all data subject rights
provided for under
all applicable data protection laws. When an Employer uses our Services, we will share
Employer-related
information with Job Seekers. This may include publishing Job Advertisements, company pages, and
salary
information on our Website and mobile applications. We may also share this information on
third-party websites.
4.2 Publishing Partners, Employers and Advertising Partners
We may share Personal Data in the form of Technical Data and Usage Data with third parties part of
our ecosystem
including partners in our publishing network and employers. We may also participate in
behavior-based
advertising. This means that a third party uses technology (e.g., a cookie) to collect information
about your
use of our Website so that they can provide advertising about products and services tailored to your
interests
on our Website, or on other websites. See our
Cookie Policy for further
information.
4.3 Service providers
We share your information with service providers that we use to support our business or help provide
our
Services to you, including, but not limited to, third parties that host our Website, assist us to
verify your
identity, perform website and platform maintenance, risk assessments, and security, perform data and
web
analytics, provide databases, IT services, customer service, payment platforms and credit card
processing,
communication services, and email services. Our service providers will be given access to your
Personal Data as
is reasonably necessary to provide the Website and related Services. Our service providers are
contractually
obligated to use your Personal Data only at our direction, to handle your Personal Data in
confidence, and to
not disclose your Personal Data to unauthorized third parties. However, certain of those service
providers
provide services pursuant to standard terms and conditions that may be non-negotiable. These service
providers
have informed us or the general public that they apply security measures they consider adequate for
the
protection of information within their system, or they have a general reputation for applying such
measures.
However, we will not be liable (to the fullest extent permitted by law) for any damages that may
result from the
misuse of any information, including Personal Data, by these companies.
4.4 Affiliates and acquisitions
We may share information with our corporate affiliates (e.g., parent company, sister companies,
subsidiaries,
joint ventures, or other companies under common control). If another company acquires, or plans to
acquire, our
company, business or our assets, we will also share information with that company, including at the
negotiation
stage.
4.5 Other disclosures with your consent
If we otherwise intend to disclose your Personal Data to a third party not otherwise described
elsewhere in this
Privacy Policy, we will identify that third party and the purpose for the disclosure and obtain your
consent.
4.6 Other disclosures without your consent
We may disclose information in response to subpoenas, warrants, or court orders, or in connection
with any legal
process, or to comply with relevant laws. We may also share your information in order to establish
or exercise
our rights, to defend against a legal claim, to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding
possible illegal
activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property, or a violation of our policies, or to
comply with
your request for the shipment of products to or the provision of services by a third-party
intermediary.
4.7 Public
Our Website may provide the opportunity to post comments, or reviews, in a public forum. If you
decide to submit
information on these pages, that information may be publicly available.
Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share
for marketing
purposes your Personal Data with third parties without your consent. We may use or share
Non-Personal Data in
any of the above circumstances, as well as for the purpose of providing and improving our Service
and for
commercial use.
5. How long do we keep your Personal Data
The length of time for which we retain Personal Data depends on the purposes for which we collected
and use it
and/or as required to comply with applicable laws. Where there are technical limitations that
prevent deletion
or anonymization, we safeguard Personal Data and limit active use of it.
6. How do we protect your Personal Data
We implement security measures designed to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access. We
apply these
tools based on the sensitivity of the Personal Data we collect, use, and store, and the current
state of
technology. We protect your Personal Data through technical and organizational security measures to
minimize
risks associated with data loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and unauthorize disclosure and
alteration. We
periodically review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including
technical and
organizational measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems. Your account is protected
by your
account password, and we urge you to take steps to keep your Personal Data safe by not disclosing
your password
and by logging out of your account after each use.
Because the internet is not a completely secure environment, we cannot warrant the security of any
information
you transmit to us or guarantee that information on the Website may not be accessed, disclosed,
altered and/or
destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical and/or managerial safeguards. In addition,
while we take
reasonable measure to ensure that service providers keep your information confidential and secure,
such service
provider’s practices are ultimately beyond our control. We are not responsible for the
functionality, privacy
and/or security measures of any other organization. By
using our Services, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks. You may ask
for a list
of technical and organizational measures taken to protect your Personal Data by e-mailing us
at:
[email protected].
7. Where do we store and process your Personal Data
Our company operates globally and has a global infrastructure. We may store or process your Personal
Data in
various countries, including the United States, Canada and the European Economic Area (“EEA”),
depending on the
type of Personal Data processed. If you visit our Website or use our Services from locations outside
of the
United States, please note that any information you provide to us through your use of our Website or
Service may
be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country from which you accessed our
Websites or
Services. As a result, your Personal Data may be transferred to countries outside your country of
residence,
which may have different data protection rules than in your country. While such Personal Data is
outside of
your country, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is located and may be subject to
disclosure
to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant
to the laws
of such country. However, we will take the necessary steps to ensure that international transfers of
Personal
Data meet all requirements under applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy. When
Personal Data
collected within the EEA or the United Kingdom is transferred outside the EEA or the United Kingdom,
we will
take the steps necessary to ensure that the transfer of such data provides sufficient safeguards.
For example,
we will do so by transferring Personal Data to jurisdictions which, according to the European
Commission and the
Court of Justice of the European Union, offer an adequate level of protection to Personal Data or
pursuant to
standard contractual clauses approved by the European Union.
Personal Data transferred outside the EEA for processing by AWS on its servers in the United States,
and among
the company’s affiliates, in both cases is accomplished pursuant to standard contractual clauses
approved by the
European Union. If you would like to understand more about these arrangements and your rights in
connection
therewith, please contact our Privacy Officer at
[email protected].
8. Your choices
You can take the following actions that will change or limit the collection or use of your Personal
Data.
8.1 Unsubscribe to Job Alerts
If you wish to unsubscribe to job alerts, you may do so by clicking on the “Unsubscribe from Job
Alert” link
located at the bottom of any email alert. You can then click on the “Delete” button next to the
alert you wish
to remove. In the case of SMS or WhatsApp Job Alerts, if offered in your region, you can unsubscribe
by replying
“STOP” to the messages you received or clicking on the unsubscribe link you received via your mobile
device, as
the case may be. You may also edit or unsubscribe to job alerts in your account profile, under the
“My
notifications” tab. Find out more on how to unsubscribe to our Services in our
Terms
of
Service.
8.2 Unsubscribe to promotional or marketing emails
You may choose to provide us with your email address for the purpose of allowing us to send offers
and other
promotional/marketing materials to you, as well as targeted offers from third parties. You can stop
receiving
promotional/marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in e-mails that you receive
and also
adjust your email preferences in the “My notifications” tab in your account profile. If you decline
to receive
promotional and/or marketing emails, we may still send you transactional and Service-related
messages.
8.3 Purge your account
If you wish to delete all information associated with your account, you may do so by logging into
your account,
clicking on the “Settings” section, and then on “Purge my account information”. You will no longer
have access
to any of the data we make available under that account, including but not limited to, search
history, job
search preferences, saved jobs, jobs that you have applied to, job alerts, resume, and any other
data associated
with the account. You should note that we reserve the right to keep any materials in a closed
account as
necessary to preserve and protect our rights to the extent permitted by law (for example, to
preserve records of
a dispute) or to comply with our obligations under local law (for example, if requested to retain by
law
enforcement). A closed account does not mean that all of the data is expunged from our systems,
although it will
not be readily available under your original account. You should also realize that when you apply
for a job
through our Website or mobile application and you purge your account thereafter, the job application
may still
be accessible to us and the Employer who received it, as a record of a transaction that occurred on
our Website,
as well as any messages sent to or received from you. If you are a Job Seeker and want to delete a
job
application performed outside of our Website, please note that your applications and materials may
be controlled
by an Employer, and we may direct you to that Employer for Personal Data deletion requests where
that Personal
Data is held by that Employer.
8.4 Device and usage information
If you do not want us to see your device location, you can turn off location sharing on your device,
change your
device privacy settings, or decline to share location on your browser.
8.5 Cookies Settings
In some jurisdictions, we are required to obtain your consent for the use of cookies and other
tracking
technologies. In such a case, you have the option to reject the use of certain cookies. To find out
more, read
our
Cookie Policy.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Privacy laws in various countries and regions of the world including, without limitation, Canada,
the European
Union, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the Province of Québec and the State of California, provide
residents of
these regions with certain rights with respect to their Personal Data. Talent.com is committed to
complying with
all applicable privacy laws and providing GDPR-type rights to all our users globally. You can make
the following
choices regarding your Personal Data:
9.1 Access to your Personal Data
You may request access to your personal information by contacting us at the address described below.
If required
by law, upon request, we will grant you reasonable access to the personal information that we have
about you. We
will provide this information in a portable format, if required.
9.2 Changes to your Personal Data
We will take steps to ensure that your Personal Data is kept as accurate, complete and up-to-date as
reasonably
necessary. We will not routinely update your Personal Data, unless such a process is necessary.
However, we
rely on you to update and correct your Personal Data. Our Website allows you to modify or delete
your account
profile. If our Website does not permit you to update or correct certain information, you may
contact us at the
address described below in order to request that your information be modified. Note that we may keep
historical
information in our backup files as permitted by law.
9.3 Objections/restrictions to your Personal Data
You have the right to object to how Personal Data is processed in relation to public
interest/official authority
and our legitimate interests as well as direct marketing purposes – including profiling under both.
You also
have the right to request that processing of your Personal Data be restricted where its accuracy or
lawfulness
is contested.
9.4 Deletion of your Personal Data
Typically, we retain your Personal Data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in
this
Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Where certain
grounds apply,
the law authorizes you to make a request that your personal information be deleted and triggers our
corresponding obligation to comply, unless exceptions apply. Note, however, that we may not always
be able to
comply with your request for erasure and in such circumstances, will notify our reasons to you.
9.5 Move, copy or export Personal Data
This is known as the Right to Portability. You have the right to request that your Personal Data be
forwarded to
a third party.
9.6 Provision and revocation of consent
You have the right to provide, decline consent to the use, disclosure, and processing of Personal
Data. If
you’ve already provided consent, you also have the right to revoke it. This will not impact the
legality of use,
disclosure, or processing prior to revocation. If you revoke your consent for the use, disclosure or
processing
of Personal Data, then we may no longer be able to provide you Services. In some cases, we may deny
your request
to revoke consent if the law permits or requires us to do so – such as when we are unable to
adequately verify
your identity. You may revoke consent to processing (where such processing is based upon consent) by
contacting
us at the address described below. If applicable, you may have the right to request information
about the use of
any automated decision system and the impact they may have on you.
Please note that your rights are not absolute, meaning that in some circumstances, exceptions exist
under
applicable law. The law may provide exemptions from requests involving your Personal Data. For
example, in order
to provide our Services to you, deleting your Personal Data may prevent you from accessing or using
such
Services.
10. Complaints
We are committed to resolving valid complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your
Personal
Data. To exercise any of your rights or for questions or complaints regarding our data use practices
or this
Privacy Policy, please contact us at
[email protected].
We will respond to any such requests in a timely manner as specified by applicable privacy laws. If
we need more
time to fulfill your request, we will let you know in advance. We will not exceed the legally
specified time limit under any circumstance.
Note that, as required by law, we may require you to prove your identity. We may verify your
identity by phone
call or email. Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name or other
account
information. We may also ask you to provide a signed declaration confirming your identity. Following
a request,
we will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you in our
files.
In some circumstances, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain
privacy
rights on your behalf. We will require verification that you provided the authorized agent
permission to make a
request on your behalf. You must provide us with a copy of the signed permission you have given to
the
authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf and verify your own identity directly with us.
Should you remain unsatisfied with our response to your request or complaint, you have the right to
contact your
local data protection authority.
11. Children and Minors
Talent.com does not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of fourteen (14),
or, if located
in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, under the age of sixteen (16). If we learn that we have
collected
personal information from a child under the age of fourteen (14), or sixteen (16) and located in the
EEA, United
Kingdom, or Switzerland, we will delete such information as quickly as possible. If you believe that
a child
under the age of fourteen (14) or sixteen (16) and located in the EEA, United Kingdom, or
Switzerland may have
provided us personal information, please contact us at:
[email protected].
12. Third Party Websites and Services
We have no control over the privacy practices of websites or applications that we do not own. We are
not
responsible for the practices employed by any websites and/or services linked to and/or from our
Website,
including the information and/or content contained therein. Please remember that when you use a link
to go from
our Website to another website and/or service, our Privacy Policy does not apply to such third-party
websites
and/or services. Your browsing and interaction on any third-party website and/or service, including
those that
have a link on our Website, are subject to such third-party’s own rules and policies. In addition,
you agree
that we are not responsible and do not have control over any third parties that you authorize to

13. Modifications
Talent.com may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we do so, we will post the revised Privacy
Policy and update the “Last Updated” date at the top. In case of material changes, we will also
