Privacy Policy
Last reviewed: June 2026
Valika Global Management Services (9730257 Canada Inc.) ("Valika Global", "we", "our", "us") respects the privacy of our clients, candidates, and personnel and is committed to protecting all personal information in our possession or control. This Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information in the course of our consulting and recruitment / staff-augmentation services.
This Policy reflects the requirements of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation (including, where applicable, Quebec's Law 25). "Personal information" means information about an identifiable individual, as defined by applicable privacy legislation.
Our Ten Privacy Principles
Accountability — We are accountable for the personal information in our possession or control, including information transferred to third parties for processing. Our Managing Partner acts as our Privacy Officer.
Identifying purposes — We identify the purposes for which personal information is collected at or before the time of collection.
Consent — We collect, use, or disclose personal information with the individual's knowledge and consent, except where permitted or required by law.
Limiting collection — We limit the amount and type of personal information we collect to what is necessary for the identified purposes.
Limiting use, disclosure & retention — We use or disclose personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected, and retain it only as long as necessary.
Accuracy — We keep personal information as accurate, complete, and up to date as necessary.
Safeguards — We protect personal information with safeguards appropriate to its sensitivity.
Openness — We make information about our policies and practices readily available.
Individual access — On request, we inform individuals of the existence, use, and disclosure of their personal information and give access to it, subject to legal exceptions.
Challenging compliance — Individuals may challenge our compliance with these principles by contacting our Privacy Officer.
Client & Consulting Information
In our payments consulting and transformation work, we handle limited business-contact information (such as the names, titles, and contact details of client representatives) and any information a client provides for the purpose of an engagement. We use this information only to deliver and administer our services, and we protect it under the confidentiality and security terms of our client agreements.
Candidate Personal Information
In providing recruitment and staff-augmentation services, we collect candidate personal information such as identity and contact details, résumé and work history, qualifications, eligibility to work, references, and — only after a conditional offer and with written consent — background-check results (which may include criminal record, credit (for financial roles), education, and sanctions/watchlist screening where relevant to the role).
We use this information solely to assess suitability for, and to facilitate, engagements with our clients, and we share relevant candidate information only with the specific client for the role to which the candidate has consented.
Website Visitors
If our website collects basic technical or analytics information (such as IP address, browser type, or pages visited) through cookies or similar tools, we use it only to operate, secure, and improve the Site. We do not use it to identify individual visitors, and any such information is handled in accordance with this Policy.
Disclosure & Cross-Border Transfer
We disclose candidate information to the client for the relevant role and to service providers that process information on our behalf under contract (for example, our cloud provider and background-check providers). Some clients and providers are located in the United States; accordingly, personal information may be stored or accessed outside Canada and may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions. We disclose this to candidates and obtain consent.
Safeguards & Retention
We protect personal information using administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including company-managed devices, access controls, encryption, and multi-factor authentication. We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the identified purposes and applicable legal requirements, after which it is securely destroyed.
Breach Response
In the event of a breach of security safeguards involving personal information, we will respond promptly, contain and assess the breach, notify affected individuals and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (and clients) where required by law, and maintain records of breaches as required under PIPEDA.
