Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect the personal information you share with us through this website.
Scope of this policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Y International Recruiting + Immigration Services, Inc. (“Y International,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and protects personal information gathered through yinternational.ca (this “website”). It does not apply to information you provide to us after you become a client, which is governed by the engagement terms and confidentiality obligations set out in your retainer with our office.
Information we collect
We collect the information you choose to submit through this website's Contact form and Consultation Request form, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and any details you provide about your immigration or hiring situation.
We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies on this website, and we do not collect information about your browsing activity beyond what your browser or hosting provider records automatically for security and performance (such as IP address and request logs).
How we use your information
We use the information you submit solely to respond to your inquiry, schedule a consultation, or provide the services you request. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party, and we do not use it for marketing unrelated to your inquiry.
The multi-step consultation form
If you use the multi-step consultation questionnaire, your answers are saved temporarily in your own browser's local storage as you work through the steps, so you don't lose your progress if you close the tab. This draft stays on your device and is not transmitted to us until you submit the form. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this website.
Third-party service providers
We use Resend (resend.com), an email delivery service, to route form submissions to our office by email. We use Google Fonts (fonts.google.com) to load the typefaces used on this website; loading a font from Google's servers may share your IP address and browser information with Google in accordance with Google's own privacy policy. We do not use any other third-party service to process personal information submitted through this site.
Cookies
This website does not set cookies for visitors browsing the public site. A session cookie is used only by our staff to sign in to the content-management area of this website; it is not set for, or accessible to, the public.
Data retention
We retain the information submitted through our forms for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry and, where a client relationship results, for the period required by our professional and regulatory record-keeping obligations.
Your privacy rights
Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to request that we correct inaccurate information, and to withdraw your consent to our continued use of it, subject to legal and contractual restrictions. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. If you believe we have not respected your privacy rights, you may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect the information you submit, including transmitting it over an encrypted connection and restricting access to our content-management system to authenticated staff. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
This website is intended for adults seeking immigration and recruiting services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
