Privacy Policy Back

We recognize the significance of protecting information about identifiable individuals (“personal information”), and have made the protection of personal information a fundamental component of business practice.
As a retained Search Consulting firm, we and our affiliates are committed to gaining and keeping the confidence of our clients and candidates by demonstrating our long-standing commitment to Privacy.

We collect personal information for two principal reasons: to research and contact candidates for our clients’ search projects and to gain a greater understanding of each candidate so that we can do a better job of matching them to our various career and search opportunities. We limit the identifiable personal information we collect to what we need for these purposes, and we will use it only for those purposes.

We understand that your consent is required for using, or disclosing your personal information (unless the law provides otherwise). To enable you to make an informed decision about the information you provide, we will clearly explain to you the reasons for collecting your personal information at the time of collection. We do not sell any lists or information about our clients or candidates.

We only disclose personal information about candidates to our search clients or to outside parties’ designated/appointed by our clients:

1. When we have the candidate’s consent;
2. When, on a confidential basis, the other person is our supplier or agent who assists us to represent our clients or facilitate our search services;
3.  When/if we are required to do so by law.

We do not collect, use or disclose personal information through our website. If an individual chooses to disclose personal information (such as a resume) through our website or email addresses, that individual is deemed to have provided consent to its retention and evaluation versus our various search projects.

We do not use cookies on our website. That is, we do not collect personal information and information generated through the use of our website. Our ISP may use cookies to track web-site traffic and activity but does not provide us with any individually identifiable information about any site visitors.

To protect your privacy, we will only collect contact information or personal information about you, which is relevant to the purposes of which you are informed at the time of collection. By collecting information limited to these purposes, we help protect you from unnecessary or accidental uses of your information. We normally collect business card, career or resume-based information directly from each candidate. Additional personal information that might become available directly from the candidate may be retained for the purpose of relationship building with the candidate. Information such as languages spoken or written (other than English and French) is not collected unless it relates specifically to the search project as a BFOR (Bona-Fide Occupational Requirement).

The length of time we retain personal information varies depending on the purpose for which it was collected and used and the format of the information. Basic contact Information may be kept and updated on an on-going basis with no defined time period. Detailed personal information such as resumes may be kept for as little as six months to as long as 36 months or more from last contact for interviewed candidates or 24 months for reference check materials. When/if asked to provide personal information in response to a Privacy Request, legal inquiry or order, we first ensure that the request/order is valid and disclose only the personal information that is legally required, assuming that we have it on file. We do not release or send out any Personal Information without permission. Contact Lists are kept indefinitely based on the specific practice. 

We are committed to ensuring that our records of your personal information are accurate, complete, and up-to-date. Although it is your responsibility to inform us of any relevant changes in your personal information, from time to time we may also try to contact you to verify the information in your file.

Our website may present links to other web sites. The inclusion of any link does not include endorsement of the site and is provided strictly for informational purposes to be accessed at your own risk. We do not control the links or their sites and are not responsible for the contents of any linked site or any link contained in a linked site. The use and/or privacy provided by the operator of a linked site is in no way subject to our privacy policies or practices. We are not responsible for how other parties collect, use or disclose personal information, so it is important to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
 If at any time you have a question about our records containing your personal information, we will do our best to answer it. Incorrect information will be promptly corrected or, if necessary, deleted.
We welcome your comments and suggestions concerning this Privacy Statement and will respond to any concerns you may have about its application.

Danek Anthony Inc. reserves the right to change this Privacy Statement at any time by posting a new Privacy Statement at this location. Any changes to this Privacy Statement will be in compliance with applicable privacy laws.
