This Privacy Policy explains how we comply with Privacy Laws in collecting and managing your personal information. By submitting personal information to us, you agree to our use of your personal information as described herein. Your use of our website www.revolutionworkforce.com(“Website”) is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use www.revolutionworkforce.com/terms-conditions

You can however access our home page and browse our site without disclosing your personal data, however some non-identifiable information will be collected by cookies that we use (see below).

What is personal information?

When used in this Privacy Policy, the term “personal information” has the meaning given to it in the Act. In general terms, it is any information that can be used to personally identify you. This may include, but is not limited to, your name, address, telephone number, age or birthdate, company or educational affiliations, and email address. The information that we usually collect is set out in the paragraph below. If the information we collect personally identifies you or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered to be personal information.

Sensitive Information: Sensitive information is a specific category of personal information. Such information includes information related to racial or ethnic origin, religion or other beliefs, membership of a trade union or a profession or trade association, health information, criminal record and the like. We ask that you do not send us, and you do not disclose, any sensitive personal information on or through our Services, or otherwise, unless expressly requested.

We collect some information that is not personal information because it is not linked to you or any other identifiable person.

What personal information do we collect and hold?

Revolution Workforce may collect personal information including through your application or resume, for example, your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, career history, details of any competency tests or other information relating to your career. We may also collect other types of personal information, such as references and employment objectives while dealing with you.

How We Collect Your Personal Information

We collect your personal information directly from you unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so. We may collect personal information about you when you deal with us by telephone, letter, fax, or email or via the Website, event registrations, or via job boards when you register or apply for employment. We may also collect information from third parties including:

  • Our service providers
  • Business affiliates
  • Clients
  • Other third parties such as employers and persons nominated by you as referees, credit agencies, or government agencies.

In some circumstances, we may also collect sensitive information about you such as information about your health (including any disability), your racial or ethnic origin, or any criminal record that you may have. Where we collect this type of information, we will obtain your consent.
