Potential candidates may be identified through direct contact, referrals, public professional information, and authorized databases. Candidate information may be used to discuss an opportunity, assess fit, conduct due diligence, obtain references, and support an appointment.
n
Candidate information is not presented to a client without an appropriate basis and process. Referees are contacted only when appropriate and with the necessary authority. Clients are responsible for providing information they are permitted to share with us.

6. Website enquiries and job applications
n
Contact and confidential-conversation forms collect the information you choose to provide so we can review and respond to your request. Job applications may collect a resume, contact details, professional information, and answers relevant to the opportunity.
n
Website submissions may be stored in the WordPress database through Contact Form 7, Flamingo, or WP Job Manager and delivered to authorized Anderson Blake personnel through Microsoft 365 and Brevo. Please do not submit information that is not reasonably needed for the request.
nn
7. Newsletter and marketing consent
n
Newsletter consent is optional, separate from a general enquiry, and is not preselected. If you choose to subscribe, your contact details and consent record may be sent to MailerLite so Anderson Blake can send relevant insights and updates.

n
Some providers may store or process information outside Canada. Information handled in another jurisdiction may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement bodies, or regulators under that jurisdiction’s laws. Providers are authorized to process information only for the services they supply and are expected to protect it appropriately.
nn
9. Consent and your choices
n
Where consent is required, we seek consent that is meaningful in the circumstances. Consent may be express or implied where permitted by law and may be withdrawn subject to legal, contractual, or operational restrictions.
n
Some collection, use, or disclosure may also be permitted or required by law without consent.

10. Cookies, security logs, and analytics
n
The website may use essential cookies and similar technologies needed for operation, security, preferences, and administration. Security tools may record technical information to identify and prevent malicious activity.

We do not activate optional advertising or analytics technologies unless appropriate notice and consent controls are in place. If those practices change, this policy and the website’s consent controls will be updated.
nn
11. Retention
n
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, to support an active or reasonably anticipated relationship, to meet legal or professional obligations, to resolve disputes, or to maintain appropriate business records.
n
Retention periods differ for candidate, client, reference, financial, marketing, website, and security records. Information that is no longer required is deleted, destroyed, or anonymized using measures appropriate to its sensitivity.
nn
12. Safeguards and privacy incidents
n
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. Access is limited to people who require it for an authorized purpose, and service providers are selected and managed with privacy and security in mind.
n
No system is completely secure. If a breach of security safeguards creates a real risk of significant harm, Anderson Blake will take the notification, reporting, and record-keeping steps required by applicable law.
nn
13. Access, correction, and privacy complaints
n
Subject to applicable law and limited exceptions, you may ask whether we hold personal information about you, request access, ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information, or withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
n
Privacy questions, requests, or complaints can be submitted through the Contact page or by calling (905) 460-5803. If a concern is not resolved, you may have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or another applicable privacy regulator.
nn
14. Automated decision-making
n
The website does not make solely automated decisions about candidacy or employment. Tools may support research, administration, or human review, but material recruitment and appointment decisions remain subject to human judgement and review.
nn
15. Third-party links and policy changes
n
The website may link to services operated by other organizations. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices, and Anderson Blake is not responsible for those practices.
