Part II – International Laws and Regulations

CANADIAN RESIDENTS: YOUR CANADIAN PRIVACY RIGHTS

The Canadian federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (“BC PIPA”), and Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (“AB PIPA”), gives residents of Canada certain rights around the collection, use, sharing and protection of their personal data (collectively, the “Canadian Privacy Laws”).

Accountability. We are responsible for personal information in our possession or custody, including information that has been transferred to a third-party service provider for processing or storage. Section 11 of the Privacy Policy discusses our policies and practices with respect to service providers outside Canada.

The individual designated to oversee our compliance with this Policy is the Chief Privacy Officer. You may contact Privacy Matters with questions about the organization’s policies and practices with respect to our service providers outside of Canada and for questions about the collection, use, disclosure or storage of personal information by service providers outside of Canada.

I dentifying Purposes. The purposes for which personal data is collected are outlined in Sections 1 and 5 of the Privacy Policy.

Consent. Your consent is required for the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal data. Accordingly, we make a reasonable effort to ensure that you are advised of the purposes for which the personal data will be used. In certain circumstances, consent with respect to use or disclosure may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, if we want to use information for a purpose not previously identified). We will not, as a condition of our Services, require you to consent to the collection, use or disclosure of personal data beyond that required to fulfill the specified and legitimate purposes.

Where we seek express consent, it can be given in many ways. For example,

an application form may be used to seek consent, collect information and inform you of the use that will be made of the information. By completing and signing or e-signing the form, you are giving consent to the collection and the specified uses;
a checkbox on a form may be used to allow you to request information about our Services;
consent may be given orally when information is collected over the telephone;
consent may be given by contractual agreement; and
consent may be given by action on your part (for example, by using,
acquiring or accepting the Services).

In limited circumstances, personal data can be collected, used or disclosed without your consent. For example, legal, or security reasons may make it impossible or impractical to seek consent.

Consent is valid for the length of time needed to achieve the identified purposes. You may withdraw consent on reasonable notice, subject to legal, regulatory, security or contractual restrictions. The withdrawal of your consent may result in us being unable to provide you with the Services

Limiting Collection. The collection of personal data shall be limited to that which is necessary for the purposes identified by us in the Privacy Policy. Information is collected by fair and lawful means.

Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention. We may provide personal data to others as outlined in Section 6 of the Privacy Policy. We may retain your personal information as outlined in Section 11 of the Privacy Policy. We have implemented and will maintain policies and procedures with respect to the retention of personal data, including minimum and maximum retention periods and guidelines and procedures to govern the destruction of personal data.

Accuracy. The extent to which personal data will be accurate, complete and up-to-date will depend upon the use of the information. Personal data that is used on an ongoing basis, including information that is disclosed to third-parties, will be accurate and up-todate. We will not routinely update personal data unless it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

Safeguards. Security measures are outlined in Section 10 of the Privacy Policy. Personal information shall be protected by security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. The nature of the safeguards varies depending on the sensitivity of the information that has been collected, the amount, distribution and format of the information and the method of storage. More sensitive information is safeguarded by a higher level of protection.

Openness. Information about our policies and procedures related to the management of personal information are available in our Privacy Policy and other publications, such as our catalog, contractual agreements and student disclosures.

Your Access. You have the right under the Canadian Privacy Laws, subject to several exceptions and limitations, to:

Request to know what personal data we have collected about you and to access that information;
Request to correct inaccuracies in the personal data we maintain about you;
Request a copy of your personal data;
Request an account of the use that has been made, or is being made, of the personal data, as well as an account of the third-parties to which the personal data has been disclosed; and
Appeal a denial of any request

You can submit your written request by contacting us at Privacy Matters. See Section 8 of the Privacy Policy for additional information about submitting a request.

Current and former employees, job applicants, and contractors should send an e-mail to the HR Service Center.

You will be asked to provide certain personal information that we will review against our records to validate your identity and eligibility. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to responding to your requests. The verification steps will vary depending on the sensitivity of the personal data and whether you have an account with us.

If you are dissatisfied with the manner in which your complaint has been managed, you may contact the appropriate federal or provincial privacy authorities.
