Personal information

Personal information is collected, used, disclosed and retained by this website under the authority of the FOIPP Act or other relevant legislation. Personal information will only be used by authorized staff to fulfill the purpose for which it was originally collected, for a use consistent with that purpose unless you expressly consent otherwise, or for purposes consistent with the Teaching Profession Act, the FOIPP Act and other legislation and laws. We do not disclose your information to other public bodies or individuals except as authorized by the FOIPP Act.

Safeguards in place

The College is obliged to protect your personal information by making reasonable security arrangements against such risks as unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure or disposal. Security measures have been integrated into the design and implementation of the College's website as part of the College's continuing commitment to the protection of personal information it holds.
