Canada’s privacy law (PIPEDA) gives you the right to a copy of everything VBC North holds about you, and the right to have your account deleted. You can do both here, without asking anyone.
Download my data
Your profile, applications and your own answers, messages you sent and received, saved jobs, job alerts, notifications, event bookings, talent-pool entries, reviews you wrote, credentials, recruiter requests, auto-apply settings and your text-message consent.
Employers’ private notes and ratings about you aren’t included: they identify the employer staff who wrote them, so they’re someone else’s information too.
Delete my account
Deleted straight away: your name, email, phone number, postal code, city, summary, skills and licences, your résumé and credential files, saved jobs, job alerts, notifications, talent-pool entries, auto-apply settings, the reviews you wrote, and your text-message consent.
Kept for 3 years, then deleted automatically: the applications you sent and the messages attached to them. Ontario’s Employment Standards Act and the Canada Revenue Agency require a licensed recruiter to keep hiring records for 3 years, so employers keep theirs — but your name on them becomes “Deleted user” and no email, phone number or résumé stays attached. Three years after your last application they are removed completely.
You won’t be able to sign in afterwards, and this cannot be undone. We’ll email you a confirmation before your address is cleared.
