TravelNursingJobs.ca operates in strict adherence to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), ensuring that all personal information collected during your interaction with our website and services is handled in a manner that respects your privacy and is used only for legitimate business purposes. For our international users, particularly those from the European Economic Area (EEA), we extend our privacy protections to align with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), thereby affirming our commitment to global privacy standards.

Information Collection and Use
Information You Provide to Us:
We collect a variety of information from our users to enhance our ability to provide personalized job matching and support services. This includes not only your name and contact information but also detailed professional credentials and employment history, which are crucial for identifying the best possible job placements. For those applying from international locations, we may request additional information to assist with the transition to the Canadian healthcare environment, including visa status and work permit details. Our collection of sensitive information, such as cultural or ethnic background, is conducted with sensitivity and is aimed at supporting our commitment to diversity and inclusion within the healthcare sector.
Information Collected Automatically:
Each time you visit TravelNursingJobs.ca, we automatically collect data about your interaction with our site, including the pages you visit, the time spent on each page, and the actions you take. This information, gathered through cookies and analytics tools, helps us understand user behavior, which in turn allows us to improve our website’s usability and the relevance of the content we offer. Device-specific information, such as the type of device, operating system, and browser used to access our services, is also collected to ensure our website performs optimally across all platforms. Users have the option to manage cookie settings through their browser, giving you control over the level of data collection and privacy.
How We Use Your Information:
The primary use of your information is to facilitate the matching process between job seekers and available positions within Alberta’s healthcare sector. By understanding your professional background and preferences, we can tailor job recommendations and provide personalized advice and support. Additionally, we use collected data to improve website functionality, making it easier for users to find relevant information and access services efficiently. Our communication with you, including updates, newsletters, and information about new services or opportunities, is also based on the preferences and interests you express through your interaction with our site.
Sharing and Disclosure of Information
Limited Sharing Practices:
Our policy ensures that your information is shared only with those entities directly involved in the job placement process, such as regional health authorities and potential employers, and only to the extent necessary to facilitate employment opportunities. This sharing is conducted with your explicit consent and in compliance with applicable privacy laws. Third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting and maintenance, are bound by confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us.
International Data Transfers:
Recognizing the global nature of the internet and the international background of many of our users, we take special care to protect the privacy and security of data that is transferred across borders. Our practices for international data transfers include ensuring that any third-party service providers adhere to privacy standards that afford the same level of protection as those mandated by Canadian and EU law. For our international applicants, this means your data is treated with the same care and respect as it would be within Canada, regardless of where in the world you are applying from.
Data Retention and Security
Retention Policy:
Our retention policy is designed to ensure that personal information is kept only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including providing ongoing support and services to our users, complying with legal and regulatory requirements, and maintaining accurate business and financial records. Our standard retention period is 5 years, after which personal data is securely deleted or anonymized, barring any legal or regulatory requirements that necessitate a longer retention period.
Security Measures:
We employ a comprehensive suite of security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include advanced encryption technologies, secure server environments, and strict data access controls. Our security practices are regularly reviewed and updated to address new and emerging threats, ensuring that your data remains secure in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
Your Rights
Under Canadian law and, where applicable, international privacy laws such as GDPR, you are afforded specific rights regarding the personal information we hold about you. These rights include the ability to access your data, request corrections to any inaccuracies, object to certain uses of your data, and, in some circumstances, request the deletion of your information. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights in a timely and respectful manner. Additionally, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time where consent forms the basis for data processing, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our privacy practices, technological advancements, or legal requirements. Any significant changes to our policy will be communicated through our website and, where appropriate, through direct communication with our users. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we are protecting your information and to be aware of any updates that may affect your rights or our practices.
