Talent Matters Inc. and its affiliates (“Talent Matters" or “we” or “us”) provide talent acquisition/recruitment, consulting, outsourcing, talent development and related solutions and services (collectively, the “Services”).  This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is with respect to the manner in which Talent Matters collects, receives, uses, retains, discloses and transfers personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) on our websites, including www.talentmattersinc.com, (collectively, “Website”), through e-mail and conversations with you as well as communications with you through any other means, including mail (collectively, the “Sites”).  

​

For the purposes of this policy, “Personal Information” means information about an identifiable individual as defined from time to time in applicable privacy legislation. Personal Information means information that relates to you as an individually identifiable person, such as your name, e-mail address, mobile number, CV/resume, references, assessments and related information.  Generally speaking, Personal Information does not include what is considered business contact information: your name, title or position, business address, telephone number, facsimile number or e-mail address. 

​

We are committed to maintaining the accuracy, security and privacy of Personal Information in accordance with applicable legislation. This Talent Matters Privacy Policy is a statement of principles and guidelines concerning the protection of Personal Information of our clients, service providers, candidates, individuals submitting CVs/resumes and other individuals ("you").

2.  What Personal Information We Collect

​

The types of Personal Information that Talent Matters may collect about you include:  

​

Your IP Address and Related Information: You may browse our opportunities and review certain information on the Website without providing us with Personal Information, although your internet protocol (“IP”) address will be collected. An IP address is often associated with the portal you used to enter the Internet, like your Internet service provider (“ISP”), company, association, or university. While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we cannot determine your identity solely based upon your IP address. However, we may link the last IP address you used to access the Sites to Personal Information you provide us. Where, according to local law, IP addresses and the like are considered Personal Information, then we treat them as such.  Personal Information on your visits to our Website including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs, content from surveys and contact forms and other communication data and the resources that you access may be collected. Our collection of this Personal Information will make your visit to the our Website easier in the future as we may be able to suggest content that is relevant to you based on the location from which you access our Website.  See “Cookies” below for more information.

3.  Cookies (information we collect from your visiting our Website)

​

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. The cookie then sends information back to the originating website on each subsequent visit or to another website that recognizes the cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

​

Talent Matters may use cookies to provide a higher quality, more relevant user experience by storing user preferences and monitoring user trends.

​

What Cookies Do We Use?

​

Cookies can be categorized by who puts the cookie on the user’s computer (or other device the user uses to browse a website). First-party cookies are cookies placed by the party operating the website. For example, any cookies we (Talent Matters) place on your device from our Sites are first-party cookies. Third-party cookies are cookies placed from a website by a party that does not own or operate that website.

​

We may use cookies provided by third-parties, but because we place these cookies on our Website, these are first-party cookies. The third-party integrated cookies include Google Analytics and others to collect and transmit visitor information to their servers. When a user visits the Website, this code contacts the respective third-party platforms’ servers and sends the aforementioned data. This data is stored, devoid of personally identifiable information, on the third-party server for the purposes of analysis that will be used to improve and provide contextual experiences to site visitors.

​

Essential Cookies:  These cookies are necessary to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website.

​

Functionality and Performance Cookies:  These cookies are used to enhance a website’s functionality performance.

​

Analytics Cookies:  These cookies collect information that is used in aggregate form (and therefore anonymous) to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are. They provide information about which pages you visit and how often, but do not collect information that identifies you. The cookies provided by each third-party service provider send the information they collect to that third-party service provider. For example, the cookies provided by Google Analytics send information about your Website interactions to Google Analytics. Each third-party service provider then compiles aggregated data using the information received and sends us reports on the aggregated data. These reports are not shared with other parties. We use the reports to offer better Website experiences and tools in the future.

​

We may also perform IP lookups to determine which domain you are coming from to more accurately gauge our users’ demographics.

​

Targeting/Advertising Cookies:  Targeting/advertising cookies are cookies used to deliver advertisements relevant to the user. They remember that a user has visited a website and share this information with other organizations, such as advertising vendors.

​

Cookies in this category may include Remarketing Cookies:  These are cookies that remember that you visited our Website after you leave. Sometimes they collect information about what pages of our Website you visited. They then share this information with our third-party vendors, such as Google. Based on this information, the third-party vendor may show you advertisements on third-party websites for Talent Matters solutions that we think may interest you based on what you viewed on our Website.

​

We do not currently use such cookies, but may use them in the future. You may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads settings.

​

Cookies can also be categorized by how long they remain on your device. There are two broad categories of duration:

​

Persistent Cookies:  Persistent cookies remain on your device until deleted manually or automatically.

​

Session Cookies:  Session cookies remain on your device until you close your browser when they are automatically deleted.

​

We may use both session and persistent cookies on our Website.

​

E.U. Users’ Right to Refuse Cookies

​

Users in the European Union (E.U.) have the right to refuse to allow cookies to be placed on the device they use to access the Website. We describe below how E.U. users can reject cookies used by our Website.

​

Rejecting Cookies Through Browser Settings

For more information on using browser settings to reject cookies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

​

You should note that rejecting cookies in your browser settings may mean that any preferences you set on the Website will be lost and that the Website may not work as well.
