Congratulations
 Nymity
Inc., Canada's leading privacy research firm,
recognizes Workopolis' achievement in providing
their customers with clear and complete notice
of the their privacy policies and procedures with
the 2006 Top Privacy Policies in Canada award.
"Workopolis is honoured to have its
privacy policy recognized as one of the best in
Canada,” said Patrick Sullivan, President
of Workopolis. “As a company that works
with people to build their careers, Workopolis
is committed to creating a trusting relationship
on all levels, including the appropriate management
of personal information.”
"Workopolis was number 1 in consumer
services and has one of the most transparent privacy
policies in Canada," said Terry McQuay,
President of Nymity. "Workopolis
collects and discloses a great deal of personal
information in the form of resumes and their privacy
policy demonstrates a high level of transparency
and accountability to both consumers and business
partners."
The 2006 Top Privacy Policies in Canada are
determined by using an objective measurement of
Transparency. Nymity defines Transparency as:
"Clear, complete and readily available notice
on an organization's privacy policies and practices."
Workopolis' privacy
policy is very efficient in providing factual
information in a structured format. The
policy is less then 6 pages, well below the average
of 9.9 pages for Award winners. This
structure allows for consumers, business partners
and regulators to quickly identify key areas of
interest. Workopolis privacy policy is structured
as follows:
- Protection of Personal Information
- What Information Do We Collect
- Use of Information by Workopolis
- Retention of Information
- Your Consent
- Disclosure of Information
- Access and Accuracy and Update of Personal
Information
- Safeguards
- Changes To Our Privacy Policy
- Co-Branded and Other Associated sites
- Contact Us
The numbered structured of each privacy provision,
which could easily become a a best-practice in
Canada, allows consumers to quickly reference
areas of interest when dealing with Workopolis
customer service or the privacy office.
