Types of Information We Collect At North Star, we collect two types of information from our website visitors. With your consent, we collect personal information. We may also collect anonymous/non-personal information. Personal Information Personal information is information that refers to you specifically. With your consent, we may gather personal information from you over the telephone or by corresponding with you via mail or the Internet. The type of information we usually collect and maintain in your job seeker file may include: Name Mailing Address E-mail Address Telephone Number Place of Employment Professional Skills Training The choice to provide us with personal information is always yours. However, your decision to withhold particular details may limit the services we are able to provide and make it more difficult for us to advise you or suggest appropriate alternatives. If we are unable to accommodate your request based on the information that has been provided, we may ask for additional details in order to identify other ways to be of assistance. In some instances, North Star may also maintain a file containing contact history that is used for job seeker inquiry purposes. Anonymous/Non-Personal Information At North Star we routinely collect anonymous/non-personal information. Anonymous/non-personal information is information that cannot be associated with or traced back to a specific individual or business entity. For example, our web servers collect some anonymous/non-personal information automatically when you visit our website. Gathered electronically, this information may include the pages you visited, the type of web browser you are using, the level of encryption your browser supports and your Internet Protocol address. The anonymous/non-personal information collected may be used for research and analytical purposes. For example, we are able to determine how many times our online privacy policy has been visited but we do not know any specific information about those visitors. All of the information you provide to us is securely maintained and is kept strictly confidential. At North Star we are all governed by strict standards and policies to ensure your information is secure and treated with the utmost care and respect. Job seeker information is strictly confidential. With your consent we will share information with other businesses or suppliers who perform services on our behalf. Unless you authorize us to release it, or release is either required or permitted by law, we never sell, lease or trade information about you or your accounts to other parties. North Star, Affiliates and Subsidiaries To ensure you benefit from our full range of products and services and as permitted by law, client information is sometimes shared with other North Star affiliates and subsidiaries. Our Employees In the course of daily operations, access to private, sensitive and confidential information is restricted to authorized employees who have a legitimate business purpose and reason for accessing it. For example, when you call us, our designated employees will access your information to verify that you are the account-holder and to assist you in fulfilling your requests. As a condition of our employment, all employees of North Star are required to abide by the privacy standards we have established. They are also required to work within the principles of ethical behavior as set out in our internal Employee Rules and must follow all applicable laws and regulations. Employees are informed about the importance of privacy and they are required to sign a code of conduct and a confidentiality agreement that prohibits the disclosure of any job seeker or employee information to unauthorized individuals or parties. To reinforce our understanding and commitment to upholding privacy and confidentiality, employees periodically receive up-to-date literature about our privacy policies, principles and standards. Unauthorized access to and/or disclosure of job seeker information by an employee of North Star is strictly prohibited. All employees are expected to maintain the confidentiality of job seeker information at all times and failing to do so will result in appropriate disciplinary measures, which may include dismissal. Outside Service Suppliers At North Star we sometimes contract outside organizations to perform specialized services such as Help Desk Support. Our trusted service suppliers may at times be responsible for processing and handling some of the information we receive from you. For example, we give access to the HelpDesk Staff your account information to assist you in resolving the technical problem and or issue you have encountered. When we contract our suppliers to provide specialized services, they are given only the information necessary to perform those services. Additionally, they are prohibited from storing, analyzing or using that information for purposes other than to carry out the service they have been contracted to provide. In fact, our suppliers are bound by strict contractual obligations that have been designed to protect the privacy and security of your information. Furthermore, as part of our contract agreements, our suppliers and our employees are required to protect your information in a manner that is consistent with the privacy policies and practices that we have established. How You Can Protect Your Information At North Star we do our utmost to protect and safeguard your personal information. We believe there are measures you should take as well. The following is a list of things you can do to protect yourself against fraud and uninvited intrusion. Passwords Passwords are necessary to identify you and authenticate your permission to access your accounts. When you enroll in online services the passwords you use are encrypted. Encryption is presently the most effective way to achieve data security. Just as it is important for us to employ strict procedures to safeguard your information, you also should take precautions in handling your passwords. When selecting a password, we suggest that you use a combination of letters and numbers and do not use words that can be easily associated with you such as the name of a family member, a pet or the street on which you live. We also suggest that you change your password regularly. Personal Information You should not share personal information such as your Personal Identification Number, Social Insurance Number or credit card number with others unless you clearly understand the purpose of our request and you know with whom you are dealing. Online Security To make sure your connection to the protected areas of our website are secured, look for either a 'closed lock' or an 'unbroken key' icon located at the bottom right hand side of your browser's task bar. You may also check the address bar to determine if SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is active by looking at the beginning of the address. If it starts with "https" rather than the standard "http", then SSL is operating. Suspicious Solicitation From time to time, North Star will engage in promotional campaigns via telephone, mail and e-mail. If you are unsure of the information you receive from us, please call us to verify that the campaign is a legitimate North Star activity.
