The website (the 'Site') you have entered is operated by or on behalf of HUB Customer Central (‘HCC’). We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. Any personally identifiable information about you is considered personal information ('Personal Information') and will be treated in accordance with HCC's Privacy Statement.

The purpose of this Privacy Statement is to inform you about HCC's practices relating to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information that may be provided through access to or use of our websites including this Site or that may otherwise be collected by us. We urge you to read it carefully.

What we collect and how we use it

The only identifiable individual information HCC collects from Site visitors comes in the form of resumes submitted by job seekers interested in positions with HCC. This information is initially viewed and used exclusively by the HCC Human Resources department.

HCC Human Resources reviews resumes and will contact the candidates who are qualified for a given position. In the case of candidates who are invited to a second interview, his/her resume will be forwarded to the hiring Department Manager and/or Team Leader.

HCC Human Resources stores resumes of candidates who are interviewed for one (1) year. Resumes from candidates who are not interviewed are kept on file for six (6) months. When those time periods have elapsed, hard copy resumes are shredded and digital copies of resumes are deleted. The resumes of those candidates we hire are filed in their personnel files permanently.

Some information is collected automatically when you visit the Site because your IP address needs to be recognized by the server. We may use this information to monitor and analyze how parts of our Site are used. This Site may use 'cookies', small text files inserted on your computer to identify you as you view HCC's website.

Full Agreement

By providing HCC with your personal information, you are deemed to have consented to HCC using and disclosing it for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, including any changes or additions to your personal information provided by you to HCC in the future. Your personal information may specifically be used for the purposes of:

1. Establishing your identity; verifying information provided by you with third parties including your employer and other financial institutions, verifying information provided by third parties; and making sure my records are kept separate from others with the same name; and
2. Disclosing personal information without my knowledge or consent to a lawyer or other advisor representing HCC, to collect a debt, to comply with a subpoena, warrant or other court order or rules, as required for the investigation or enforcement of laws, or as may otherwise be required or authorized by law. You understand when a request for personal information is made by an organization claiming lawful authority for the request, HCC will take reasonable steps to ensure that the requesting party properly identifies its legal authority.

Disclosure to Related Organizations

As a rule, HCC will not disclose your personal information to third parties. However there are exceptions:

1. From time to time, HCC uses third-party-sub-contractors to provide certain services. While your personal information is disclosed to such parties, they are required to comply with HCC's Privacy Statement and not use or retain your personal information for their own purposes.
2. If information about your services is anonymized, so that the individual applicant is no longer identifiable, then it is not personal information anymore. HCC may disclose anonymized information at any time to anyone it chooses.
3. If HCC, in whole or in part, is acquired by another company, your personal information will be transferred to the new company along with the rest of the assets, provided that the company either agrees to abide by HCC's then existing Privacy Statement, or agrees to notify you forthwith about any proposed changes to the privacy statement and allows you an opportunity to request that your personal information be deleted.
4. HCC will disclose your personal information without your consent as required by law or permitted by Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act or by provincial law, whichever is applicable.

Personal Information

Privacy legislation in Canada defines 'personal information' broadly as any information about an identifiable individual. In general, personal information does not include business contact information, including your title or position, business or business e-mail address, telephone and facsimile number.

E-mail, Feedback and Forum Facilities

If at any time this Site offers any e-mail, feedback or forum facilities, HCC may collect the information, which you disclose. Such information will be used in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

Security of Your Personal Data

HCC has implemented technology and policies with the objective of protecting your privacy from unauthorized access and improper use and will update these measures as new technology becomes available, as appropriate.

HCC will not sell, trade, rent or license the personal information that you provide to it.

Use of your personal information submitted to other websites

HCC cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites even if:

• You accessed the third-party website using links from HCC's Site; or

HCC recommends that you check the policy of each Site you visit and contact the owner or operator of such Sites if you have any concerns or questions.

Co-Branded Areas

In order to provide a greater breadth of services, certain functions provided on this Website are outsourced to third parties. Specifically, HUB has contracted with third parties to help improve our technical services and operations as well as provide additional business services and content to our visitors. Certain pages and microsites in this Website, therefore, are operated and controlled by a third party ("Co-Branded Areas"). These Co-Branded Areas continue to display HUB's trademarked logo at the top of the page but are nonetheless operated and managed by a third party. These Terms, in conjunction with any further terms and conditions posted in the Co-Branded Areas, govern your access and use of those Co-Branded Areas. In all other respects, access to the Co-Branded Areas is at your own risk.

Links. This Website may contain links to other sites on the World Wide Web, other than the Co-Branded Areas. Links to outside sites do not constitute or imply endorsement by HUB of the linked site or any material contained within, and we are not responsible or liable for the information contained, or any products or services offered, on such other sites. Access to these sites is at your own risk: for clarity, HUB will not be liable for any loss or damage caused to you or any third party in connection with links to websites outside of this Website.

Products/Quotations

Under no circumstances should you regard any information you may access in this Website as a recommendation, advice, or complete description of any products, service, policy, or plan. Application for an insurance quotation through this Website does not constitute an offer for insurance coverage, a binder of insurance coverage, a contract for insurance coverage, or the reporting of a claim. The application may be used by HUB to provide an estimate of the terms, conditions, and costs of coverage. A quotation may be subject to receipt of additional information or other conditions. Insurance coverage is provided by various insurance companies and is subject to the terms and conditions of the policies of such companies and applicable law. Circumstances vary and Website visitors must carefully review their own insurance policies and consult with their insurance advisors on the terms and conditions of the insurance policies.

Nothing contained in this Website constitutes a guarantee by HUB that HUB can procure an insurance product or service for any particular client or for any particular risk.

Disclaimer of Warranties

HUB and its providers make no warranty of any kind regarding this website and/or the content on the website. This website and content are provided "as-is".

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so this warranty disclaimer may not apply in whole or in part to you.

Limitation of Liability

HUB and its providers will not be responsible or liable for (a) any viruses, trojans, worms, or harmful components that may infect or any other loss or damage that may be caused to your computer software, data, and/or equipment or other property as a result of your access to and/oruse of this website including by browsing or downloading any content on this website and (b) any injury, loss, claim, damage, or any special, exemplary, punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any kind (including without limitation lost profits or lost savings), whether based in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, that arises out of or is in any way connected with (i) any access or use of this website or the content found therein, (ii) any failure or delay (including without limitation the use of or inability to use any component of this website to submit applications for insurance products or services), or (iii) the performance or non-performance by hub or any provider, even if hub have been, or a provider has been advised, of the possibility of damages to such parties or any other party. This disclaimer of liability applies to any damages or injury caused by any failure of performance, error, omission, inaccuracy, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, communication line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to, alteration of, or use of record or information available, submitted to, or stored on this website, whether for breach of contract, tortious behavior, negligence, or under any other cause of action.

The headings in these Terms are for convenience and reference and shall have no legal effect. Any failure by HUB to act with respect to you or another person's breach of these Terms will not constitute a waiver with respect to future or similar breaches.
