Politique de confidentialité de l’entreprise

1. Sommaire

Nous sommes LifeWorks (Canada) Ltd. (« LifeWorks »), une société constituée en vertu des lois de l’Ontario, au Canada. LifeWorks (Canada) Ltd. possède et exploite l’entreprise par l’entremise de ses filiales dans divers pays, y compris notamment au Canada, aux États-Unis, au Royaume-Uni et en Australie. Aux fins des lois sur la protection des données applicables, LifeWorks est responsable du traitement des données de vos renseignements personnels et notre principal établissement est sis au 895, Don Mills Road, Tour 1, bureau 700, Toronto (Ontario) M3C 1W3, Canada.

La présente Politique de confidentialité explique la manière dont nous recueillons, utilisons et communiquons vos renseignements personnels et établit les principes de base selon lesquels nous traiterons les renseignements personnels que nous recueillons auprès de vous ou que vous nous fournissez. Veuillez lire la présente Politique de confidentialité attentivement afin de comprendre de quelle manière nous utilisons, communiquons et protégeons vos renseignements personnels.

La gestion des renseignements personnels est essentielle aux services de LifeWorks, et nous sommes déterminés à protéger votre vie privée.

Par l’entremise de sites Web et d’applications, notamment, LifeWorks recueille et utilise les renseignements personnels pour établir votre identité et votre admissibilité, et vous fournir des services de santé et de mieux‑être globaux et de ressources humaines axés sur la technologie (comme les régimes de retraite et d’assurance collective, les programmes d’aide aux employés et les programmes de gestion des absences). Nous utilisons également vos renseignements à nos propres fins, comme l’analyse et l’amélioration de nos services et nos communications.

Veuillez vous reporter aux sections ci‑après pour obtenir de l’information détaillée sur la façon dont LifeWorks traite vos renseignements personnels et sur tout sujet d’intérêt dans notre Politique de confidentialité.

2. À propos de la présente Politique de confidentialité

Nous avons élaboré cette Politique de confidentialité pour vous renseigner sur :

  • Le type de renseignements personnels que nous pouvons recueillir à votre sujet;
  • L’utilisation que nous pourrions faire de ces renseignements; et
  • Vos choix en ce qui a trait aux renseignements personnels que vous nous fournissez.

La présente politique s’applique à nos sites Web, à nos applications mobiles, aux services fournis au moyen de ces plateformes ou auxquels l’utilisateur a recours (comme nos services de counseling et de mieux-être), ainsi qu’à toute interaction que vous pourriez avoir avec nous (notamment par téléphone, par courriel ou en personne). Cette politique couvre spécifiquement le traitement que nous faisons des renseignements personnels (y compris, dans le cas de certains de nos services, des renseignements personnels sensibles) concernant les particuliers identifiables, et ne s’applique pas aux renseignements commerciaux de nature exclusive.

Certains de nos services sont fournis au nom de nos clients, ce qui signifie que ces derniers sont principalement responsables de la protection de vos renseignements personnels. Par exemple, nous pourrions vous fournir des services au nom de votre employeur ou du promoteur de votre régime. Dans un tel cas, nous pourrions rediriger votre question sur l’utilisation de vos renseignements personnels à notre client.

3. Obtenir votre consentement

Lorsque vous utilisez nos services ou interagissez avec nous, nous pourrions recueillir et traiter certains renseignements à votre sujet. Si tel est le cas, nous recueillerons, utiliserons et communiquerons vos renseignements personnels avec votre consentement pour les fins dont vous avez été informé, ou dans le cas où la loi l’exige ou l’autorise autrement. Votre consentement peut être exprès ou tacite (dans les limites permises par la loi). Par exemple, en participant à votre programme d’avantages sociaux, vous consentez à la collecte et à l’utilisation de vos renseignements personnels par LifeWorks afin de recevoir les services offerts par ce programme. Dans certains cas, nous pourrions obtenir votre consentement directement (y compris par les moyens décrits dans la présente Politique de confidentialité). Dans d’autres cas, nous pourrions nous fier au consentement que vous avez donné à votre employeur ou au promoteur de votre programme d’avantages sociaux.

Vous pouvez suspendre ou retirer votre consentement à la collecte, à l’utilisation et à la communication de vos renseignements personnels (dans la mesure où notre traitement est fondé sur votre consentement, conformément aux lois applicables). Le retrait de votre consentement n’a aucune incidence sur la légalité du traitement en fonction du consentement avant son retrait. Selon les circonstances, le retrait de votre consentement pourrait toutefois nous empêcher de continuer à vous servir ou, en ce qui concerne l’administration de vos avantages sociaux, nous empêcher de traiter vos demandes de règlement.

4. Sources de renseignements à votre sujet

Nous recueillons des renseignements personnels comme suit :

  • Directement de vous
  • D’après l’utilisation que vous faites des services, programmes, sites Web et applications de LifeWorks
  • Auprès de votre employeur, de votre association, de votre assureur ou du promoteur de votre programme d’avantages sociaux
  • Lorsque vous participez à un événement organisé par LifeWorks ou que vous vous rendez à ses bureaux
  • Lorsque vous postulez un emploi chez LifeWorks
  • Lorsque vous formulez une plainte ou présentez une demande de renseignements
  • Lorsque vous naviguez sur nos réseaux sociaux
  • De tiers autorisés par la loi.

5. Renseignements sur les enfants

Si vous n’avez pas atteint l’âge de la majorité dans votre province, nous ne recueillerons, n’utiliserons et ne communiquerons pas volontairement vos renseignements personnels sans la permission de votre parent ou de votre tuteur. Si vous êtes mineur et désirez obtenir des services de counseling et de mieux‑être, votre parent ou votre tuteur doit communiquer avec LifeWorks en votre nom.

6. Type de renseignements recueillis et motifs de la collecte
