This website is maintained by Toby Bartlett in connection with its professional and corporate affairs.

The firm operates globally, providing advisory, analytical, and creative consultancy services to institutional, governmental, and corporate clients.

This Privacy Policy describes the limited circumstances in which information may be collected or processed when individuals interact with this website.

2. Scope

This Policy applies solely to information obtained through public interaction with the website www.tobybartlett.ca (the “Site”).

It does not govern information collected through professional engagements, contractual relationships, or in-person security environments, all of which are subject to separate agreements and nondisclosure obligations.

3. Information Collected

3.2  Technical Data – Minimal system data automatically transmitted by your device or browser, including IP address, time of access, and user-agent metadata. This data may be processed by our third-party website hosting providers or Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) as required to deliver site content, maintain Site integrity, and prevent misuse.

3.3  Strictly Necessary Cookies – The Site does not deploy non-essential analytics, marketing cookies, or third-party tracking scripts. However, our hosting platform may use strictly necessary functional cookies (such as security tokens or basic session identifiers) required to maintain core site functionality.

4. Use of Information

Information may be used only for:

– responding to inquiries;

– evaluating candidates for employment based on voluntary submissions;

– maintaining security, integrity, and lawful operation of the Site;

– complying with applicable legal or regulatory obligations of an international character.

No data are sold, leased, or otherwise transferred for commercial gain.

5. Data Retention and Security

Information is retained only for the period necessary to achieve the limited purposes set out above and is deleted or anonymised thereafter. Employment applications and associated materials (such as CVs) are securely deleted once the evaluation process is complete or as required by applicable law.

Appropriate technical and organisational safeguards consistent with the highest international standards are applied to protect against unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.

6. Cross-Border Processing

Data may be processed or stored in locations that maintain standards of protection consistent with recognised international benchmarks.

Such processing does not imply submission to any particular jurisdiction.

7. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to external websites (for example, LinkedIn).

Those destinations operate under their own privacy frameworks, for which Toby Bartlett accepts no responsibility or liability.

8. Enquiries
