These measures may include appropriate access controls, system security, software maintenance and administrative procedures.

Recruitment applications that are no longer required are not routinely retained for future opportunities unless the applicant has agreed to further contact.
Employees and former employees may request the deletion of personal information that is no longer required.
However, certain information, including payroll, tax, employment and statutory reporting records, may need to be retained for legally required periods.
