6. CROSS-JURISDICTIONAL TRANSFERS

Your Personal Information may be transferred, used, accessed, and/or stored in secure locations and on servers controlled by la Vie en Rose/Bikini Village or its service providers located in various jurisdictions, for the same purposes described in the “PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION” section. Accordingly, your Personal Information may be transferred, used, accessed, and/or stored outside your country, province, or state of residence, including outside the province of Québec.

Those jurisdictions may not provide levels of Personal Information protection equivalent to those in your country, province, or state of residence. When we transfer your Personal Information between jurisdictions, we ensure that it is handled securely in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.

For more information about our security practices, please see “PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION” below. You may also obtain details about our safeguards by contacting us at privacy@lavieenrose.com.

7. SOURCES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.

We collect Personal Information about you directly from you and/or from your references and former employers; automatically through cookies or similar technologies; and from professional organizations, educational institutions, social media platforms, service providers, and third parties that help us assess and onboard individuals for recruitment purposes, including providers of recruitment and application-management software and background-check services. We also collect Personal Information from public records and institutions and, where applicable, from our affiliates.

8. PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

La Vie en Rose/Bikini Village works with suppliers and partners located around the world. Personal Information laws and regulations may differ from one jurisdiction to another. However, la Vie en Rose/Bikini Village takes measures to ensure that all its partners and suppliers comply with the Personal Information protection standards set out in this Policy and that your Personal Information is secured using appropriate methods. Please contact us if you would like more information about how we protect your Personal Information.

La Vie en Rose/Bikini Village uses appropriate physical, technical, and organizational measures to secure the Personal Information it receives, including protecting it against unauthorized or unlawful access or processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage by entering into contracts with our technology providers, implementing security and Personal Information protection policies, training our employees, protecting our network, keeping technology current, applying the latest security patches, limiting access to distribution rooms, and restricting access to Personal Information in technology solutions.

However, no method of protecting Personal Information can guarantee absolute security. Although we use appropriate security measures once we receive your Personal Information, transmitting information over the Internet is never completely secure, and we therefore cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will remain protected in all circumstances.

9. EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS

La Vie en Rose/Bikini Village wants to ensure that you are fully informed of your Personal Information protection rights under the Privacy Laws applicable in the province or state where you reside. Please note that, depending on where you reside, some or all of these rights may or may not be available to you. At our sole discretion, we may choose to grant you these rights even where the laws applicable in your province or state do not require us to do so, but we reserve the right to deny requests not required by applicable law. Please see “ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS” to determine the rights that apply to applicants residing in California.
