If you would like to stop receiving emails with web beacons from us, you may unsubscribe by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in the email.  However, you may receive auto generated emails from FRG after you create an account on the Websites or take some other affirmative action on the Websites which contain web beacons but do not contain an “Unsubscribe” link. In those cases, just simply email privacy@frankgroup.com if you would like to stop receiving emails from FRG with web beacons.

Also, FRG works with third parties to help manage online advertising who embed web beacons in online job postings and job advertisements that FRG requests these third parties to post online. One such third party that we use is Broadbean. These web beacons allow Broadbean to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by a third party that Broadbean uses such as Google Analytics.  These files enable Google Analytics to recognize a unique cookie on your web browser, which in turn enables Broadbean to learn which advertisements bring users to our Websites or websites on which Broadbean placed our advertisements. The cookie on your web browser was placed by Broadbean, or by another advertiser who works with Google Analytics. With both cookies and web beacon technology, the information that Google Analytics (either directly, see cookie/plug-in chart above) or Broadbean collects and shares with us is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address.

We may rely on one or more legal bases to process your Personal Data

A. All users of the Websites and/or our services

Necessary for the performance of a contract: FRG can process your Personal Data in the performance of its contract with your company or employer.

With respect to actual or prospective client contacts and candidates, if FRG obtains your Personal Data from someone other than you, FRG shall inform you of the identity and contact details of the person or entity from whom FRG obtained your Personal Data, whether FRG obtained your Personal Data from publicly available sources, the categories of Personal Data that FRG obtained and, if FRG is processing your Personal Data based on its legitimate interest (see Section III below), the nature of FRG’s legitimate interest.  FRG shall provide you with the information listed in this paragraph by the earlier of (1) one month after FRG obtains your Personal Data or (2) if FRG uses your Personal Data to communicate with you, the first time that FRG communicates with you.

FRG shall not provide you with the information described in the paragraph immediately above if you already possess this information, providing you with such information is against applicable law, is subject to an obligation of professional secrecy, proves impossible, would involve a disproportionate effort or would render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of the processing, in which case, FRG shall take appropriate measures to protect your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests.

III. Your Special Rights under Data Protection Laws

A. Do I have a right to be erased (forgotten)?

Yes. You have the right to request that FRG deletes or removes your Personal Data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue to process it. You can exercise this right, free of charge, by sending an email to FRG at privacy@frankgroup.com.

Please note that your right to erasure is not absolute.  FRG will remove your Personal Data when:

  1. the Personal Data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which FRG originally collected and/or processed it;
  2. if FRG is processing your Personal Data on the basis of your consent and you withdraw consent;
  3. you object to the processing of your Personal Data and there is no overriding legitimate interest for us to continue to process it;
  4. the Personal Data was unlawfully processed; and
  5. the Personal Data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation.

FRG can refuse to comply with an erasure request in the following limited circumstances:

(a) to exercise FRG’s right of freedom of expression and information;

(b) to comply with a legal obligation or for the performance of a public interest task;

(c) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific research, historical research or statistical purposes; or

(d) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If we remove your Personal Data per your request for erasure, then we will confirm this with you.

If we have disclosed any of your Personal Data to a third party and you submit an erasure request to us, then we will inform (1) you about the recipients and (2) any such third parties of your erasure request unless doing so is impossible or involves disproportionate efforts.

We will respond to your erasure request without undue delay.  Please note that, for your and FRG’s protection, we cannot respond to an erasure request until we have verified the identity of the person making the request.  This verification process may extend the response timeframes set forth in this paragraph.

B. Do I have a right of access to a copy of my Personal Data?

Yes. You have the right to:

  • obtain confirmation that your Personal Data is being processed;
  • a copy of your Personal Data being processed;
  • the purposes of the processing;
  • the categories of personal data being processed;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom FRG has disclosed your Personal Data; and
  • the criteria FRG uses to determine how long it will store your Personal Data.

You can exercise this right by sending an email to FRG at privacy@frankgroup.com.

This right is in place to ensure that you are aware of and can verify the lawfulness of the processing. In most cases, we will provide you with a copy of your Personal Data free of charge. However, we may charge you a reasonable fee if your request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive. With respect to unfounded, excessive or repetitive requests, in rare cases, FRG may refuse to respond to your request but will explain the reason(s) for its refusal to you without undue delay and within one month of its receipt of your request. If FRG so refuses, you have the right to file a complaint with the ICO and to seek a judicial remedy.

If you submit your access request to FRG electronically, FRG will provide you with its response, and a copy of your Personal Data (if applicable) via email or other commonly used electronic form.

If FRG did not collect your Personal Data from you, FRG will inform you about the source from which it obtained your Personal Data. Your right of access does not adversely affect your right of erasure (forgotten) and right of rectification, both of which are described in this Privacy Notice.

Generally, FRG will provide you with a copy of your Personal Data without undue delay and within one month of its receipt of your request, provided that FRG may extend this time period for up to two additional months if your request is complex or numerous. If FRG exercises this extension of time, FRG will inform you of its decision to exercise the extension within one month of its receipt of your request, and will explain the reason(s) for the extension. If your request is large or complex, FRG may ask you to specify the particular information or category of information you seek.

Please note that, for your and FRG’s protection, FRG cannot respond to an access request until it verifies the identity of the person making the request for your Personal Data. This verification process may extend the response timeframes set forth in the paragraph above.

C. Do I have a right to object to the processing of my Personal Data, including the processing of my Personal Data by FRG for direct marketing?

Yes, you have a right to object to the processing of your Personal Data where:

  • FRG’s processing is based on its legitimate interest; or
  • where FRG is using your Personal Data to directly market to you.

You can exercise this right, free of charge, by sending an email to FRG at privacy@frankgroup.com.

If FRG receives an objection request from you for reasons unrelated to direct marketing, FRG will stop processing your Personal Data unless we can show compelling legitimate ground(s) for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of any legal claims.

If FRG receives an objection request from you for reasons related to direct marketing, we will stop processing your Personal Data.

If you receive a direct marketing communication from FRG and you do not wish to receive future direct marketing communications from FRG, you may request to unsubscribe from future marketing communications by sending FRG an email at privacy@frankgroup.com  In addition, if the direct marketing communication you received was via email, you can click the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the email, fill out the required form and FRG will process your unsubscribe request.  Please allow up to ten (10) business days for your unsubscribe request to take effect.

D. Do I have a right to restrict processing of my Personal Data?

Yes, you have a right to restrict, the processing of your Personal Data.  You can exercise this right, free of charge, by sending an email to FRG at privacy@frankgroup.com.  When you exercise this right, FRG may continue to store your Personal Data but cannot further process it.  FRG will cease processing your Personal Data in the following circumstances:

  1. when you file a rectification request with FRG (see the “Do I have a right to have any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data rectified?” section below) in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable law. The restriction shall remain in place until such time as FRG has verified the accuracy of the Personal Data that is the subject of your rectification request;
  2. where FRG is processing your Personal Data based on its legitimate interest and you file a notice with FRG objecting to the processing of your Personal Data (see the “Do I have a right to object to the processing of my Personal Data?” section above) in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable law, FRG will cease processing your Personal Data until such time as FRG has made a determination as to whether its legitimate grounds for continued processing override your reasons for objecting to the processing;
  3. when the processing is unlawful and you do not seek or want erasure and you file a restriction request with FRG in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable law instead; and
  4. if FRG no longer needs the Personal Data and you require the data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

While the processing of your Personal Data is restricted, FRG may continue to process such data by storing it, processing it with your consent or processing it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

FRG will inform you if it decides to lift a restriction on processing.

If FRG has disclosed any of your Personal Data to a third party and you submit a request to restrict processing, FRG will inform (1) you about the recipients if you so request and (2) any such third parties of your restriction request unless doing so is impossible or involves disproportionate efforts.

FRG will act on your restriction request in accordance with this Privacy Notice without undue delay. Please note that, for your and FRG’s protection, FRG cannot act on a restriction request until it verifies the identity of the person making the request. This verification process may extend the timeframe in which FRG acts on your restriction request.

E. Do I have a right to Personal Data portability?

Yes. You can exercise this right, free of charge, by sending an email to FRG at privacy@frankgroup.com. This right exists to allow you to obtain and use your Personal Data for your own purposes across different services. Under this right, you can move, copy or transfer your Personal Data from FRG to another data controller.

This right applies where FRG is processing your Personal Data with your consent or for the performance of a contract. It also applies if we process your Personal Data by automated means. If your portability request concerns someone other than you, FRG will have to consider whether providing or porting the Personal Data would prejudice the other person’s or people’s rights.

Generally, FRG will respond to your portability request without undue delay and within one month of its receipt of your request, provided that FRG may extend this time period for up to two additional months if your request is complex or numerous. If FRG exercises this extension of time, FRG will inform you of its decision to exercise the extension within one month of its receipt of your request, and will explain the reason(s) for the extension. Where technically feasible, you may request that FRG transmit your Personal Data to another data controller.

F. Do I have a right to object to decision been taken by automated means?

If FRG uses automated (i.e. non-human) methods to process your Personal Data to make decisions that could potentially have a damaging legal or similarly significant effect on you (each, an “Automated Decision”), you have the right not to be subject to the Automated Decision. This right is inapplicable to any Automated Decision made by FRG that is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between you and FRG, is authorized by law or is based on your explicit consent.

If FRG makes any Automated Decisions to which this right applies, FRG will ensure that you are able to obtain human intervention, express your point of view and obtain an explanation of the decision and challenge it.

If FRG engages in “profiling” by automated means, FRG will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place including (1) ensuring that the processing is fair and transparent by providing you with meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and consequences of the outcome of the decision, (2) using appropriate mathematical or statistical procedures for the profiling, (3) implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to enable inaccuracies to be corrected and minimize the risk of errors and (4) securing the Personal Data in a way that is proportionate to the risk to your interests and rights and prevents discriminatory effects.

G. Do I have a right to have any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data rectified?

Yes. You can exercise this right, free of charge, by sending an email to FRG at privacy@frankgroup.com.

Generally, FRG will respond to your rectification request within one month of its receipt of your request, provided that FRG may extend this time period for up to two additional months if your request is complex. In rare cases, FRG may refuse to respond to your request but will explain the reason(s) for its refusal to you within one month of its receipt of your request. If FRG so refuses, you have the right to file a complaint with the ICO and to seek a judicial remedy.

If FRG has disclosed any of your Personal Data to a third party and you submit a rectification request to FRG that FRG is going to honor, FRG will inform (1) you about the recipients and (2) any such third parties of your rectification request as well as any corrected Personal Data, unless doing so is impossible or involves disproportionate efforts.

We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that your Personal Data is maintained and up to date.

H. What are my rights if the Security of my Personal Data is breached?

A breach of Personal Data (a “Breach”) means a breach of security leading to the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, your Personal Data for which we are responsible under applicable law.

If the Breach is likely to have a significant detrimental effect on your rights and freedoms (such as resulting in discrimination, damage to reputation or financial loss), FRG will notify the ICO without undue delay, and if feasible, within 72 hours of FRG’s becoming aware of the Breach. FRG will assess the determination of “significant detrimental effect” on a case by case basis.

If the Breach is likely to result in a “high risk” to your rights and freedoms, FRG will notify you without undue delay. To be clear, the threshold requiring FRG to notify you of a Breach is higher than the threshold requiring FRG to notify the ICO of a Breach so it is possible that FRG will notify the ICO of a Breach but not you. FRG will assess the determination of “high risk” on a case by case basis.

Any Breach notice issued by FRG will contain, where possible, (1) the categories and approximate number of individuals and Personal Data records effected by the Breach, (2) the name and contact details of the ISM (or other FRG contact representative if FRG does not have a ISM at the time that FRG issues the Breach notice), (3) a description of the likely consequences of the Breach, (4) a description of the measures that FRG has taken, and may take, to stop the Breach and, where appropriate, to mitigate the adverse effects of the Breach and (5) recommendations on actions you can take to protect yourself in light of the Breach.

I. Will my Personal Data be transferred outside the UK, EEA, or Switzerland?

FRG may transfer your Personal Data to third parties described in this Privacy Notice who are located outside of the UK, Switzerland, or EEA. If so, FRG will take reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Data is protected and treated in accordance with this Privacy Notice and local applicable law. Some of the countries outside the UK, Switzerland, or EEA where your Personal Data may be transferred will be on the EU Commission’s or Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commission’s list of countries that it has deemed to have adequate security controls in place (the “Approved List”). Given the European Court of Justice’s decision in Data Protection Commissioner v. Facebook Ireland and Maximilian Schrems, Case C-311/18 (July 16, 2020) (“Schrems II”) as well as the September 8, 2020 Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner’s Policy paper on the transfer of personal data to the USA and other countries lacking an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, and absent consent from the Data Subject (or any other reason provided in GDPR Article 49(1)(b)-(f) or Swiss law as may be amended from time to time), if FRG transfers your Personal Data to processors (which could be external third party vendors or suppliers) that store, transfer, process, or control your Personal Data in a country not on the Approved List or not in the UK, Switzerland, or EEA (“Third Countries”), then FRG shall determine whether each processor (and each subprocessor that a processor has provided FRG formal notice of) can store, transfer, process, or control the Personal Data solely within the UK, Switzerland, EEA, or a country on the Approved List.

(a) If FRG determines that the processor (and each subprocessor that a processor has provided FRG formal notice of) can store, transfer, process, or control the Personal Data solely within a country on the Approved List or in the UK, Switzerland, or EEA, we will require such processor (and will require the processor to require each of its applicable subprocessors) to do so.

(b) If FRG determines that the processor (and each subprocessor that a processor has provided FRG formal notice of) cannot store, transfer, process, or control the Personal Data in a country on the Approved List or in the UK, Switzerland, or EEA, then:

(i) FRG will require such processor (and will require the processor to require each of its applicable subprocessors) to be bound by the model clauses promulgated by the European Commission as provided here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32010D0087 (or any updated link which the European Commission from time to time) (“Model Clauses”). When relying on the Model Clauses, FRG shall (a) monitor the laws and regulations of Third Countries for the adequate protections of UK, Swiss, or EEA Data Subjects as required by the GDPR or other local laws and regulations; and (b) terminate the storage, transfer, processing , or control of Personal Data by a processor (or a subprocessor where the process has informed FRG of the country in which such subprocessor is processing your Personal Data) when (i) such laws and regulations of Third Countries are incompatible with the GDPR or other local laws and regulations, or (ii) access to Personal Data is requested by the public authorities of Third Countries and such access is lawful under the laws of the Third Countries but is prohibited under the GDPR or other local laws and regulations. If the events described in III(I)(b)(i)(b)(i) or (ii) occur, FRG will confer with the appropriate supervisory authority regarding appropriate actions to safeguard your Personal Data.

(c) FRG shall also require the processor (and will require each processor to require its applicable subprocessors) to determine whether each processor or subprocessor can store, transfer, process, or control the Personal Data solely within the UK, Switzerland, EEA, or a country on the Approved List.

  1. If processor (or its applicable subprocessors) can store, transfer, process, or control the Personal Data solely within the UK, Switzerland, EEA, or a country on the Approved List, then FRG shall contractually require the processors (and require processor to require its subprocessors to) do so.
  2. If processor (or its applicable subprocessors) must store, transfer, process, or control the Personal Data in a Third Country, then FRG shall require its processors (and require processor to require its subprocessors to) to be bound by the Model Clauses. When relying on the Model Clauses, FRG shall contractually require such processors (and shall also require processors to require their subprocessors) to agree to (a) monitor the laws and regulations of Third Countries for the adequate protections of UK, Swiss, or EEA Data Subjects as required by the GDPR or other local laws and regulations; and (b) terminate the transfer, processing, or control of Personal Data when (i) such laws and regulations of Third Countries are incompatible with the GDPR or other local laws and regulations, or (ii) access to Personal Data is requested by the public authorities of Third Countries and such access is lawful under the laws of the Third Countries but is prohibited under the GDPR or other local laws and regulations. If the events described in III(I)(c)(2)(b)(i) or (ii) occur with respect to your Personal Data (and if FRG has formal notice that the events described in III(I)(c)(2)(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred), FRG will confer with the appropriate supervisory authority regarding appropriate actions to safeguard your Personal Data.

Under certain circumstances, FRG may share your Personal Data with one or more of its group companies who may be located in a Third Country. In such cases, FRG will comply with its DPAs. The DPAs are incorporated by reference into this Addendum

J. How long will FRG store my Personal Data for?

We are required by law to store your Personal Data for as long as is necessary to comply with our legal, regulatory and contractual obligations.

With respect to GDPR (and similar laws), we will store and process your Personal Data that we obtain via: (i) your consent, until the earlier of (a) the purpose for which we obtained such information has been fully accomplished or (b) you inform us that you have withdrawn your consent; (ii) our legitimate interest until the earlier of (a) your Personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it is being processed, or (b) FRG concludes that your rights and freedoms outweigh our right to process your Personal Data; and (iii) our necessity for the performance of a contract, until the termination or expiration of the contract including the termination or expiration of FRG’s and your employer’s or company’s duties or obligations that survive any such termination or expiration.

Furthermore, we will store your Personal Data in special circumstances related to the issuance or defense of legal proceedings, outstanding invoices or in connection with any investigation by or of a government authority.

K. What Protections do I have if FRG transfers my Personal Data to the U.S.?

In short, you have the protections of the Privacy Shield and the Model Clauses, each defined below.

Additionally, U.S. law requires certain contracts entered into by FRG US contain the rights, obligations and requirements set forth in Sections II(A) through II(C) inclusive below (collectively, the “Privacy Shield Terms”). Accordingly, the following Privacy Shield Terms, to which FRG reserves the right to revise from time to time without notice, shall be incorporated by reference where these Privacy Shield Terms are required in client contracts:

(A). In the event FRG US transfers to client or any of its affiliates, or provides client or any of its affiliates with access to any Personal Data (as defined for this Section II below) of European Union or Switzerland residents, including employees of FRG or its affiliates and actual or prospective FRG clients contacts or candidates, and client maintains, receives, has access to, stores, uses or processes such Personal Data in the United States, client shall comply with data protection, data security and confidentiality requirements at least as strong as those set forth in the Privacy Shield Principles issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, as revised from time to time (collectively, the “Principles”) During the term of such contracts and while client creates, receives, maintains, stores, uses, processes or disseminates any Personal Data, client shall:

  1. use the Personal Data only for the specific and limited purposes intended in the client contract including for recruitment or AWS consulting purposes;
  2. provide immediate written notice to either FRG US Parent or FRGS US Sub as applicable if (a) client determines that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection of the Personal Data as is required by the Principles, and in such case client shall cease processing the Personal Data or (b) client becomes aware of any accidental or unlawful destruction of, or accidental loss or alternation of or unauthorized disclosure or access to, any Personal Data (a “Breach”) which notice shall include a description of the quantity of Personal Data subject to the Breach, the approximate length and duration of the Breach, the data subjects whose Personal Data was subject to the Breach and a Breach remediation plan;
  3. at its cost, employ its best efforts to stop, limit and remediate the Breach, perform a “root cause” analysis of the Breach, employ its best efforts to prevent the same or a similar Breach from reoccurring and keep FRG up to date on all its efforts under this subsection II(A)(3);
  4. implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data against a Breach;
  5. not transfer any Personal Data to third parties without the data subject’s prior written or email consent (which either FRG US Parent or FRGS US Sub as applicable shall attempt to obtain after receiving notice from client of its need to transfer Personal Data to a third party);
  6. assist FRG US in responding to data subjects exercising their rights under the Principles;
  7. act only on instructions from FRG US; and
  8. either have in place an independent recourse mechanism to handle data subject complaints that complies with the requirements of the Principles or make available an equivalent mechanism.

(B) Upon the termination or expiration of the applicable client contract, client shall, at FRG US’s option, return all Personal Data to either FRG US Parent or FRGS US Sub as applicable or permanently destroy all Personal Data (and all copies and derivative works thereof) in its care, custody or control except for any Personal Data that applicable law, if any, requires client to maintain (“Archival Personal Data”). With respect to any Archival Personal Data, client’s obligations and requirements under this Section II shall remain in full force and effect for as long as such Archival Personal Data remains in client’s care, custody or control.

(C) If client forwards or gives access to any of the Personal Data to any third party at any time, including any subprocessor or controller of client, client shall ensure that its written contract with such third party contains the Privacy Shield Terms.

(D) For purposes of this Section II, the term “Personal Data” shall have the same meaning ascribed to that term as in the Principles which can be found at https://www.privacyshield.gov/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=015t00000004qAg as revised from time to time.

II. California Consumer Privacy Act Disclosures

The California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA, requires businesses subject to this law to provide consumers residing in California with certain rights regarding their personal information.

At this time, we may sell your personal information, so the opt-out or opt-in choices may apply. For more information, visit www.frankgroup.com/donotsell.

Here’s a summary of rights for California consumers under the CCPA:

A. Your Right to Opt Out. You have the right to tell businesses that do sell your personal information to third parties (i.e. not us) not to sell it at any time. Businesses that sell your personal information to third parties must also ensure that the third parties do not resell it unless the business notified you explicitly and provided you with a chance to opt out of resales. These opt-out rights apply to businesses that do not know your age, or know you are older than 16. Businesses must also respect opt outs made by your authorized agent if such authorized agent provides signed written permission from you to do so.

B. Your Right to Opt In. If a business has actual knowledge that you are between ages 13 and 16 (e.g., based information the business collects), businesses cannot sell or allow resales of your personal information without your affirmative authorization. If a business has actual knowledge that you are younger than 13, it may not sell or allow resales of your personal information without your parent or guardian’s affirmative authorization. This is your right to opt in.

C. Your Right to Disclosures. You have the right to know:

1. A link to FRG’s “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” notice.
a) Please visit com/donotsell.

2. A description of a consumer’s rights pursuant to CCPA Section 1798.120:

This right to opt-out applies if we do not know your age or if we know you are older than age 16. Businesses must also respect opt outs made by your authorized agent if such authorized agent provides signed written permission from you to do so.

(b) Your Right to Opt In. If we have actual knowledge that you are between ages 13 and 16 (e.g., based information we collect, or because someone informed us), we will never sell your personal information without your affirmative authorization. If we have actual knowledge that you are younger than 13, we will never sell your personal information without your parent or guardian’s affirmative authorization. This is your right to opt in.

(c) Do We Sell Your Personal Information? At this time, we may sell your personal information and you can opt out at any time. If you opt out, or for children 16 and younger, if you have not opted in, we will not sell your personal information to third parties unless you expressly authorize us to do so.

Kandischer Nachtrag

I. Introduction

This Canada Addendum (“Canada Addendum”), in addition to the forgoing Privacy Notice, sets out the basis on which all “Personal Information” (“Personal Information” means information about an identifiable individual, including but not limited to sensitive Personal Information), that Frank Recruitment Group Inc. / Group de Recruitement Frank Inc. and its affiliated entities and their respective representatives trading under the aforementioned brands at the top of the Privacy Notice (collectively for the purposes of this Canada Addendum, “FRG,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects from you, or that you provide to us via the Websites (as defined elsewhere in the Privacy Notice) will be processed by us in Canada. If there is a conflict between the Privacy Notice and this Canada Addendum, the Canada Addendum controls with respect to Canadian users of our Websites. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your Personal Information in Canada and how we will treat it. All capitalized/defined terms not defined herein are defined elsewhere in the Privacy Notice.

II. Canadian Privacy Law and Privacy Principles
FRG is committed to maintaining the confidentiality, security, and accuracy of your Personal Information in accordance with applicable Canadian federal and provincial law, including but not limited to the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, SC 2010 c 23 (“CASL”), and the data privacy laws of Canada’s provincial counterparts including but not limited to the British Columbia Personal Information Protection Act, SBC 2003 c 63 (“BC PIPA”), Alberta Personal Information Protection Act, SA 2003 c P-6.5 (“AB PIPA”), and Quebec Act respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector, CQLR c P-39.1 (“Quebec Private Sector Act”) to govern our activities as they relate to the use of your Personal Information. As part of this commitment, we follow the ten privacy principals established under the PIPEDA. These principals are as follows:

  • Principle One: Accountability
    FRG is responsible for the Personal Information it controls. FRG has designated its Chief Privacy Officer (privacy@frankgroup.com) as responsible and accountable for compliance with the Canadian Privacy Principles and other applicable Canadian data privacy law.
  • Principle Two: Identifying Purpose
    FRG must identify the purposes for which Personal Information is used, collected, and disclosed before or at the time we collect Personal Information. FRG demonstrates its compliance by making the Privacy Notice and this Canada Addendum available to individuals, among other actions.
  • Principle Three: Consent
    Your knowledge and consent are required for the collection, use or disclosure of your Personal Information, except where inappropriate or permitted by Canadian law. Depending on the level of sensitivity of the Personal Information, this consent may be implied or expressed; however, wherever commercially feasible, FRG shall attempt to obtain express consent. Consent to our use of your Personal Information can be withdrawn at any time by sending an email requesting same to privacy@frankgroup.com.
  • Principle Four: Limited Collection
    FRG must collect Personal Information by fair and lawful means and limit its collection of Personal Information to those details reasonably necessary for the purposes identified. Accordingly, FRG does not collect your race, ethnicity, or health Personal Information nor do we use Canadian Social Insurance Numbers (or a foreign equivalent) to identify or organize the information we hold, and will not record it if you submit it.
  • Principle Five: Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention
    We may only use or disclose Personal Information for the purpose for which it was collected unless you have otherwise consented, or when it is required or permitted by law. We may only retain your Personal Information for the period of time required to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected (taking into account our statutory and contractual obligations to retain information).
  • Principle Six: Accuracy
    We shall maintain your Personal Information in as complete, accurate and up-to-date form as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which we are to use it. Please inform us if any of your information changes by contacting us at privacy@frankgroup.com so that we can make any necessary changes.
  • Principle Seven: Safeguarding Information
    We must protect your Personal Information by following security safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity level of the Personal Information. For example, we have a document minimization process in our office to prevent inadvertent disclosures of your Personal Information. We also physically lock our offices after business hours to avoid/prevent unauthorized access.
  • Principle Eight: Openness
    We are required to make information available to you that is specific and easy-to-understand concerning FRG’s policies and practices that apply to the management of your Personal Information. A key method of making such information available is via this Canada Addendum, via our website.
  • Principle Nine: Access
    Upon request to privacy@frankgroup.com, we shall inform you of the use, disclosure, and existence of your Personal Information, and shall give you access to it. You may verify the completeness and accuracy of your Personal Information, and may request amendments to your Personal Information for these reasons, if appropriate. Contact us at the email address above. We will attempt to respond to requests for summary information within 30 days of receipt. If you send us a more detailed request (typically these require archival or other retrieval costs), we may take longer to respond and you may be subject to our normal disbursement and professional fees to the highest extent permitted by applicable law.
  • Principle Ten: Challenging Compliance
    Direct any complaints, suggestions, enquiries or questions respecting our privacy practices, compliance, or these principles by contacting privacy@frankgroup.com.


III. May We Deny Access To Your Personal Information?

Your right to access your Personal Information is not absolute. We may deny access to your Personal Information when:

  • required by applicable law;
  • such Personal Information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings against you or was generated as a result of a dispute resolution mechanism (whether arbitration, mediation, court cases, or similar proceedings);
  • when granting you access would have an unreasonable impact on other people’s privacy, security or proprietary information;
  • to protect our rights and property; or
  • where the request is frivolous or vexatious or generates costs which are prohibitively expensive.

We shall explain to you in writing why we deny a request for access to, or refuse a request to correct your Personal Information.
