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.

If you do so, we will use your personal information to provide such information or to assist you, as applicable.

Please also note that we do not use your personal information for direct marketing or purposes unrelated to your communications with us, nor do we sell your personal information to third parties. Furthermore, email communications from Resolute to you will always include an identification of the sender and, if Resolute sends commercial electronic messages, these will contain an “unsubscribe” feature allowing you to opt out of such future messages, in compliance with applicable law.

3. To whom do we disclose your personal information?

For the purposes set forth in Section 2 above, we may disclose your personal information to the third parties indicated below in the following circumstances:

a) Disclosure to service providers
We may disclose your personal information on a need-to-know basis to other organizations or individuals that provide services on our behalf, including website service providers or consultants, lawyers, auditors, and data processing, document management and administrative services personnel.

b) Disclosure in business transfers
Resolute may be involved in the sale or transfer of some of its business. As part of that sale or transfer, Resolute may disclose certain personal information about you to the acquiring organization (including as part of the due diligence process), but will require the acquiring organization to agree to protect the privacy of your personal information in a manner that is consistent with this Policy and applicable legal requirements.

c) Law enforcement and legal disclosure
Resolute may disclose your personal information to a government institution that has asserted its lawful authority to obtain the information or where Resolute has reasonable grounds to believe the information could be useful in the investigation of suspected unlawful activity, or to comply with a subpoena or warrant or an order made by a court, person or body with jurisdiction to compel the production of information, or to comply with court rules regarding the production of records and the disclosure of information, or to Resolute’s legal counsel.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal information is identifying information concerning an individual.

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.

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.

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 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.
