CONSENT AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Information regarding members classifications, work availability, eligibility, crew position, work credits, agency and contact information (including member’s resumes) may be disclosed to third parties for the purposes of establishing work opportunities on the members’ behalf. In providing ICG 669 with this information you are consenting to the disclosure of this information for the purposes mentioned. In addition, ICG 669 may disclose the information to third parties when required by law or when the law has deemed that consent has been given. Other information that you provide i.e. SIN, RRSP numbers, date of birth etc. will not be disclosed without your personal consent.

Since members prepare their own resumes disclosure of the personal information therein is the responsibility of the member. ICG 669 will not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from personal information disclosed at the option of the member.

Member information may only be used or disclosed for the purpose for which it was collected unless the member has otherwise consented or when it is required or permitted by law. While ICG 669 will employ appropriate procedures to help ensure that members’ information is only used for authorized purposes, ICG 669 cannot make any guarantees with respect to the actions of such third parties.

Member information may only be retained for the period of time to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In any case, when ICG 669 makes a decision that affects you personally any personal information in regards to this decision in the possession of ICG 669 will be kept for at least one year.

WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

Subject to contractual or legal restrictions you may withdraw your consent to the use and disclosure of the personal information at any time. A withdrawal of consent to the disclosure of the information will essentially prevent ICG 669 from helping to establish work opportunities or training for you.

SECURITY

Appropriate safeguards will be implemented to prevent personal information from unauthorized use and access in an effort to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information.
