ZettaGo Consulting Group (hereinafter “ZettaGo”) is concerned about respecting the confidentiality of your personal information and is committed to protecting it and using it only for the purposes for which it was collected. This policy is intended to inform you about our privacy practices. It aims at informing you about the purpose and the means to collect personal information and how it is used and disclosed. In this Privacy Policy, when we refer to “we,” “us,” or “our,” we mean “ZettaGo Consulting Group.”
SCOPE AND APPLICATION
This Privacy Policy describes how we handle and protect your personal data in connection with ZettaGo’s business activities, like conferences and events, and client services, and on websites, applications, and communications that post a link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, “the Sites”), in our capacity as data controllers.
The policy is subject to the Quebec legislation in this regard, the Law on Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector, and other applicable laws and regulations.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
ZettaGo collects personal data during its business activities, including in connection with some client services. We also collect personal data on specific areas of the Sites when you register for or apply for jobs through our recruitment pages, create a user profile, register for ZettaGo newsletters and alerts, sign up for conferences and events, and/or participate in public user posting areas (such as bulletin boards, discussion forums and surveys). The personal data collected varies and may include information that you provide, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, and background information required to apply for a job.
We may also automatically collect information about the devices you use to interact with our Sites. The information we automatically collect may include IP address, device identifier, web browser, and browsing information collected through cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear gifs, and other similar technologies (collectively “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies”) on our Sites. We may also automatically collect information about how you use the Sites, such as what you have searched for and viewed on the Sites. The information automatically collected may be associated with a unique identifier as well as with any other personal data you have provided.
ZettaGo may also collect data about you from third parties, such as data brokers or aggregators, in the course of its business activities, including in connection with some client services. This includes demographic, professional, and other information that is publicly available online, including information you choose to make public through social media platforms and other public online forums. We may combine this data with the existing information we have about you or use it independently for our benchmarking and data analytics activities (e.g., analysis of recruiting practices across an industry, detecting fraud patterns in connection with financial transactions, and foot traffic in retail environments). We will always seek to confirm that the third party has provided transparent information about its use of this data, including its disclosure to third parties like ZettaGo, in compliance with applicable law.
Please note that some of the information described below may not constitute personal information within the meaning of the law (e.g., Information about an employee acting within the scope of its functions) and are therefore not subject to this policy.
USE OF THE INFORMATION
ZettaGo uses your personal data to fulfill your requests for information, process your requests to participate in conferences and events, personalize the content that you view or receive on the Sites, evaluate and improve our services, distribute newsletters and alerts to you, recruit and evaluate job applicants, analyze the Sites’ performance and functioning, publish your letters or comments to the editor, prevent fraud, enforce our terms of use, comply with all applicable laws and corporate reporting obligations, and accomplish other purposes you may initiate or request. In some situations, the collection of personal data may be required for the operation of the Sites, or we may use it in the course of our business activities, including in connection with some client services, for example, to provide certain services or products such as our benchmarking products. We may combine and/or analyze personal data to evaluate and offer content and services most relevant to you. We may keep any of your personal data on file and use it to contact you.
We only use the personal information for the purposes for which it was collected.
HOW PERSONAL INFORMATION IS STORED AND COMMUNICATED
ZettaGo retains personal information for a reasonable period of time either to achieve its objectives or within the constraints of the law, whichever time frame is longer. We establish retention criteria depending on the type of information collected. Once the goals are achieved and the information becomes useless or if the person asks us to eliminate it, we ensure its anonymity or destroy it in order to ensure protection against unauthorized access or disclosure.
ELECTRONIC INFORMATION
We might collect information that is not of a personal nature, including the type of Internet browser or operating system you use or the domain name of the website from which you were linked to our site.
Also, when you visit our website, certain information can be introduced to your computer in the form of a cookie or similar file. Cookies allow us to retain certain information about your use of the Website, including the date of your last visit, pages viewed and downloaded files. Cookies allow us to tailor our website to better meet the interests and preferences of visitors. ZettaGo does not link the information thus obtained to your personal information.
Most Internet browsers allow you to erase cookies from your computer’s hard drive, block all cookies or receive a warning before implantation. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions.
Our Sites do not track you by collecting personal data about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Accordingly, we do not alter our data collection and use practices in response to “do not track” signals transmitted from web browsers.
CHILDREN
The Sites are not designed for or directed at children 13 years of age or younger, and ZettaGo does not intentionally collect or maintain personal data about anyone under this age.
SECURITY
All data is stored on servers with high-security systems protected against access by unauthorized persons and malicious uses. Furthermore, only persons (employees or agents) who have access to the information in the course of their duties can access it.
Your personal information is held and stored on our servers located in Montreal, Canada.

By using our Sites, you consent to the collection, use, and storage of your personal data by us in the manner described in this Privacy Policy and elsewhere on the Sites. We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. Please check back periodically. Appropriate notice will be posted at the beginning of this policy when changes are made.
