When you join the Nextal Portal or apply for a job through the Nextal Portal, we provide your Personal Information to the employer customer who has hired Nextal to create and operate this Nextal Portal on its behalf, (including your e-mail address and other contact information that you publish on your resume). The employer customer may use your information to contact you directly.

Additionally, when you join the Nextal Portal or apply for a job through the Nextal Portal, the information supplied by you is stored by Nextal on a dedicated database on behalf of the employer customer. In addition, the information supplied by you also may become part of the employer customer’s database. In that instance, the use of such information by the employer customer will be subject to the privacy policy of that company, and Nextal is not responsible for that company’s use of your information. Nextal is not responsible for what the employer customer company, or any third party with whom you may share your Personal Information, subsequently does with your information. You should review the privacy policy of the employer customer to ensure that you are comfortable with how it intends to use and disclose your information.

The employer customer for whom we act as a service provider to operate this Nextal Portal will receive reports that contain aggregate data about its Nextal Portal. We also use aggregate data and certain technical information about your computer and your access of the Nextal Portal (including your internet protocol address) in order to operate, maintain and manage the Nextal Portal.

Additionally, we may combine certain aggregate data about our users and use such aggregate data to prepare reports for our users (typically employers or educators).

“Aggregate Data” is the demographic information (such as zip code, age or gender) and employment information (such as occupation, education and experience) of many individuals that is combined together.

Aggregate data is used to analyze the characteristics of various populations. For example, an employer may purchase a report from Nextal that states the number of accountants with at least five year’s experience that live within a certain geographic area.

We also may share Personal Information with our service providers who help us in providing the Nextal Portal on behalf of the employer customer, such as hosting our Sites, sending communications to you, serving advertisements on our Sites and managing and analyzing data. These service providers are only authorized to use or disclose the information as necessary to perform services on our behalf or as otherwise required by law.

Nextal and our Canadian, US and other service providers and affiliates may provide your personal information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable Canadian, US or other law. We may also disclose personal information where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims and to investigate or prevent actual or suspect loss or harm to persons or property.

In addition, Personal Information we have collected may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets or a bankruptcy or other corporate reorganization of Nextal.

These third party web analytics services provide us with reports based on this information in order to help us understand how visitors engage with the Nextal Portal.

In addition, the employer that uses this Nextal Portal may place cookies on your computer through their job postings and may use such cookies to distinguish your web browser uniquely.
