In this case, our Web server may collect the IP address and domain you used to access this Website, the type and version of the browser and operating system you are using, and the website you came from and will visit next. This information is used by us and our business partners to measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views and other statistics about visitors to this Website in general. We may also use this data to monitor site performance for systems administration purposes to make this Website easier and more convenient to use, and to report information in aggregate form to our service providers (e.g. how many visitors access this Website).
Cookies – This Website may use “cookies,” a technology that installs information on a website user’s computer to permit the website to recognize future visits using that computer. Cookies enhance the convenience and use of this Website.

Information, including personal information, may be stored locally on the device using mechanisms such as browser web storage. Please consult your device or client documentation on how to manage such local storage. If you use location-enabled products and services, you may be sending us location information. This information may reveal your actual location, such as GPS data, or it may not, such as when you submit a partial address to look at a map of an area.
Your personal information – In general terms, privacy legislation defines personal information broadly as information about an “identifiable individual” or as information that allows an individual to be identified. During your use of this Website, you may choose to provide certain personal information to us, such as the information indicated in Section 2 below.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal information is identifying information concerning an individual.

INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT
In most cases, you can visit the site without having to provide personal information. Our servers do not record any email address, unless you communicate with us. Even so, we record the domain name to identify the origin of the connection, such as your IP address, browser type and version, and the address of the referring site. This information is used to measure number of visits, time spent and pages viewed. We use such data to improve our site content. Resolute collects this type of information using cookies. Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a given website. Cookies enable us to recognize you when you access our site. They do not make it possible to collect personal information on you, and you can at any time set your browser to block cookies.
When you apply online for one of the jobs that we offer on this site, you must provide us with personal information, such as your name, mailing address, email address and telephone number. We may also ask for additional personal information to determine your eligibility. If you contact Resolute, we may keep a record of such correspondence. We do not collect the email addresses of people who communicate with Resolute by email. We use the information provided only to respond to email. When you provide us with personal information, you agree that your information may be shared with third parties for the purpose of processing and analyzing your application and other related operations. We may also use, disclose and communicate your personal information if required to do so by law, including by an order of any court.
COLLECTION OF RÉSUMÉS
As part of the application process, you will provide us with your résumé, as written by you. Your résumé will be kept in our bank of applicants for the period that we deem appropriate. Resolute prohibits its employees from using your résumé for any purposes other than internal recruitment.

Access to and updating your personal information
If you have used our online application tool, you may access your user profile at any time, and update, modify or delete the personal information therein as you see fit.
Security and protection of your personal information
Resolute uses administrative and technological safeguards appropriate to the degree of sensitivity of your personal information so as to protect its confidentiality. We use secure data networks protected by firewalls that meet industry standards and password protection systems. Even so, email that you send us may not necessarily be secure when transmitted to us. We instruct our employees with access to your personal information that it is to be used only in strict compliance with the principles set out in this Statement and the applicable legislation. Employees who misuse personal information in the applications submitted may be subject to disciplinary measures. Even though we use all reasonable means to protect your personal information and to ensure that the information you provide to us is not used by third parties for purposes other than those described in this Statement, Resolute is not responsible for any improper use of your personal information that is beyond its reasonable control. When you apply for a posted job online, you are no longer on Resolute’s website.
