Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

At GoodJOB Corporation Inc. (hereinafter "GoodJOB," "we," "our"), information security and privacy protection are priorities.

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information (as defined below) collected from freelancers and clients using the GoodJOB platform ("Users" or "you"). It aims to describe our practices regarding Personal Information.

By "platform," we refer to both our website and the GoodJOB App mobile application, downloadable from the Apple Store or Google Play.

Collected Personal Information and Purposes

Personal Information refers to any information about an individual that directly or indirectly identifies them ("Personal Information"). Collection is generally limited to the following categories of Personal Information:

  • Name, First Name;
  • Date of Birth;
  • Social Insurance Number;
  • Employment experience information;
  • Email address, mailing address, phone numbers, and transportation information;
  • Banking information, if applicable.

We use collected Personal Information to:

  • Provide the platform to Users and ensure its security and optimal operation. The platform identifies job opportunities, refers freelancers to employers, and facilitates the transfer of amounts between employers and freelancers.
  • Identify a User and ensure the authenticity of this identification.
  • Provide technical support to Users.
  • Send newsletters and other promotional communications regarding our products, services, updates, news, tips & tricks, and special offers, if applicable.

We only use Personal Information for the purposes stated above, unless authorized by law in very limited cases without your consent.

We may collect Personal Information through registration forms or more broadly during your email, telephone, or in-person exchanges with our employees or representatives.

Your Consent

Your consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of your Personal Information must be explicit, free, and informed. It must be given for specific purposes. Depending on the nature and sensitivity of your Personal Information, your consent may be explicit (given verbally, in writing, or electronically) or implicit (when you voluntarily provide Personal Information, for example).

Generally, we will seek your consent at the time of collection, unless otherwise required or permitted by law.

Security and Governance

We have implemented administrative, physical, and technological security measures that are reasonable given the sensitivity, use, quantity, distribution, and support of Personal Information.

We take all reasonable means to reduce the risks of breaching the confidentiality of Personal Information, such as:

  • Applying the principles of maximum protection by default: ensuring that, by default, platform settings have the highest level of privacy without any intervention from you.
  • Conducting a privacy impact assessment when using or disclosing Personal Information is necessary for platform modification or deploying new features.
