The Policy applies to all personal information collected by BME and includes any type of information concerning a natural person or which allows a natural person to be identified.

It is important to note that generally speaking, information pertaining directly to your job does not constitute “personal” information within the meaning of the Policy.

BME may collect personal information from you whenever you interact with us, whether that be in person, by telephone, e-mail, mail, video conference, text message or on social media; when you visit our resort or our website; or when you participate in events and/or contests organized by us.

BME may ask you to provide personal information about yourself and/or others (emergency contacts). This personal information may include, but is not limited to:

• Information about your identity, such as your first and last name, date of birth and any other information that proves your identity and /or your ability to meet the requirements of your job (e.g.  a copy of your work permit, biometric identification report, passport, driver’s license or any other relevant information and/or document);
• Contact information, such as your home address and personal contact information (telephone number, cellphone number, e-mail address or any other relevant information and/or documents);

In general, BME collects, uses and discloses the personal information of applicants, subcontractors and employees for the primary purpose of establishing, servicing, supplying and maintaining our relationships with those said individuals.

We may also collect, use and disclose personal information:

BME may, at any time, disclose your personal information, either:

By accepting this Policy, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information whenever you voluntarily provide us with such information.

In some cases, you may provide us with personal information about another individual (such as an emergency contact or other relevant person). By sharing this information with us, you certify that you have obtained their prior consent or the appropriate authorization, thereby allowing us to collect, use and communicate their personal information in accordance with the provisions laid out in this Policy.

At any time, with reasonable advance notice, you may change or withdraw your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information by BME. You should note, however, that certain personal information is essential for our selection and hiring process and that your refusal to supply personal information may be detrimental to your application for employment with BME.

BME holds on to your personal information only as long as needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. BME may store and process your personal information at its headquarters in Bromont or elsewhere. Our servers are located in Quebec, Canada, but some of your personal information may also be stored with third-party service providers in the United States. They are, however, contractually bound to protect the personal information transferred to them.

A number of security measures have been put in place to protect your data. These take various forms. They include adoption of internal policies and procedures, the training of BME personnel regarding the collection, use and processing of your personal information, and the implementation of restricted access to our facilities, networks and files.

It is important to BME that your personal information is as accurate, up to date and as detailed as possible. It is your responsibility to advise us of any changes to your personal information.

This current Privacy Policy is in effect from the time of posting and may be revised from time to time. Continued access to our website or your provision of personal information will serve as your implied consent to any such changes.
