Privacy Policy<\/p>\n<\/div>

Purpose<\/h3>\n

This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy legislation in Canada. It is also designed to help individuals understand how their personal information is managed at the Nova Scotia Career Development Association (NSCDA).<\/p>\n

Scope<\/h3>\n

Those individuals protected by this Privacy Policy include members and prospective members. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected during the course of non-profit activities.<\/p>\n

Exceptions<\/h3>\n

If the policies and procedures outlined in this document do not address a specific situation, individuals are expected to contact the Board for guidance or clarification.<\/p>\n

The Principles<\/h3>\n

Our Privacy Policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy legislation in Canada. It incorporates the following 10 principles:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Identifying Purpose<\/li>\n
  • Consent<\/li>\n
  • Limiting Collection<\/li>\n
  • Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention<\/li>\n
  • Accuracy of Personal Information<\/li>\n
  • Safeguarding Personal Information<\/li>\n
  • Openness<\/li>\n
  • Access to Personal Information<\/li>\n
  • Challenging Compliance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If we change our Privacy Policy in the future, those changes will be included in updates to our official Privacy Policy, wherever it is made available. Thus, you will always know what information we collect, how we use it and how we protect it. When personal information that has been collected is to be used for a purpose not previously identified, the new purpose will be identified to you prior to use.<\/p>\n

    Identifying Purpose<\/h4>\n

    The NSCDA will identify to an individual the purposes for which personal information is collected at or before the time the information is collected. Generally, the NSCDA collects personal information for the following purposes:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • to manage and develop the NSCDA’s business and operations, including personnel and employment matters; and<\/li>\n
    • to meet legal and regulatory requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      However, there may be other circumstances that require such information to be collected and used. The NSCDA collects the following personal information from individuals during the course of normal commercial activities. The information obtained includes name, business title, function and general contact information, levels of interest for our services and topics, and transaction activity with the NSCDA.This information is used primarily to determine an individual’s entitlement to the NSCDA’s services. In addition, this information may be used to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Enable individuals to tailor the presentation of our services to better meet their needs (e.g., selected distribution of our research reports).<\/li>\n
      • Inform individuals about NSCDA products and services that we believe may be of interest to them.<\/li>\n
      • Better understand an individual’s interests in our products and services.<\/li>\n
      • Develop, enhance or improve products and services.<\/li>\n
      • Share delegate or participant information amongst conference and network participants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The NSCDA routinely collects anonymous, non-personal information through our Web servers. This is information that is not associated with or traced back to a specific individual. Gathered electronically, this information includes the type of Web browser used, the level of encryption a browser supports and the Internet Protocol address. This information may be used for research and analytical purposes, to examine how the Web site is being used and to determine how it can be improved.<\/p>\n

        Consent<\/h4>\n

        An individual’s knowledge and consent are required before the NSCDA is allowed to collect, use or disclose his or her personal information, except where inappropriate. Where possible, the NSCDA will obtain consent directly from the individual concerned at the time of collection. After having provided consent, an individual has the right to withdraw consent at any time by providing reasonable notice to the Board.<\/p>\n

        By subscribing to our reports and services, registering for a seminar, presentation or access to our on-line information services, using other NSCDA member services, or otherwise indicating approval, individuals consent to the collection and use of their personal information for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n

        The NSCDA will not require you to consent to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information beyond that required to provide our products or services to you. If you wish to withdraw your consent or to opt out of the uses or disclosures of your information for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy, you may do so by contacting our Board . If your request requires that we delete your registration information, we will no longer be able to provide you with the services or products for which you have subscribed. Cancellation will be subject to the terms and conditions of the subscription or services provided, as applicable.<\/p>\n

        In limited circumstances, the NSCDA may use or disclose personal information without the knowledge or consent of the individual, for example, breaches of agreements, as required by governmental bodies acting with authority, or as authorized or required by applicable legislation.<\/p>\n

        Limiting Collection<\/h4>\n

        The NSCDA collects only the information that is necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n

        Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention<\/h4>\n

        The NSCDA does not use personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with an individual’s consent or as required by law. Once personal information is no longer required to fulfill the identified purposes or other legal requirements, it will be destroyed, deleted or made anonymous.<\/p>\n

        The NSCDA sometimes uses the services of external firms to assist us in communicating with individuals (e.g., surveys and mail distribution) or as a means of providing more effective and efficient services to these individuals (e.g., technology support). Our external suppliers are contractually obligated to keep the information confidential, to use the information only for the purpose requested and to destroy the information when it is no longer required.<\/p>\n

        Member information is shared with external service providers only to the extent required for the provision of such services. Furthermore, The NSCDA does not sell personal information to a third-party organization. In certain circumstances, we allow basic contact information to be shared amongst members. Examples of this include providing delegate lists for conferences to other participants or sharing contact information amongst members of our executive networks, to facilitate ongoing communication.<\/p>\n

        Personal information is retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes stated in this policy.<\/p>\n

        Accuracy of Personal Information<\/h4>\n

        Personal information is kept as accurate, complete and up to date as necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used. Individuals are encouraged to provide updates to their personal information as changes occur, to enable us to continue to provide services to them.<\/p>\n

        Safeguarding Personal Information<\/h4>\n

        Personal information, whatever its form, will be protected by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. The safeguards will protect personal information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. The measures of protection include:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • physical measures, for example, locking filing cabinets and restricted access to offices;<\/li>\n
        • organizational measures, for example, limiting access to the personal information on a “need-to-know” basis;<\/li>\n
        • technological measures, for example, the use of passwords; and<\/li>\n
        • procedural measures, for example, the shredding of sensitive personal information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Openness<\/h4>\n

          The NSCDA is committed to being open about its policies and practices with respect to the handling of personal information. Our Privacy Policy is available through our home page. If a hard copy or additional information is required, requests for such information may be made to the Board.<\/p>\n

          Access to Personal Information<\/h4>\n

          Individuals may request a copy of their personal information held at the Nova Scotia Career Development Association by submitting a written request to the Board at the address above. Acceptable proof of identification is required before such information is given out. If you feel the information we have about you is inaccurate, you may request that it be reviewed and, if inaccurate, changed, by contacting the Board.<\/p>\n

          Challenging Compliance<\/h4>\n

          An individual can challenge compliance with the above policy by providing written details of the challenge to the Board.<\/p><\/h2><\/div>
