Individual Consent of Information

WPGA will obtain consent of the individual for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information except where the law states exemptions, grants permission, or creates a requirement for collection, use, retention or disclosure of personal information.

 

Requirements for consent to collection, use or disclosure of personal information vary depending on circumstances and on the type of personal information that is intended to be collected, used or disclosed.   In determining whether consent is required and, if so, what form of consent is appropriate, WPGA will consider both the sensitivity of the personal information and the purposes for which the information will be used. Consent may be expressed, implied (including through use of “opt-out” consent where appropriate) or deemed.

For students and families, consent will be obtained as part of continuous enrolment.

For alumni, consent will be obtained every 24 months.

On giving reasonable written notice to WPGA, an individual may withdraw consent to the collection, use or disclosure of their personal information. Upon notice of withdrawal of consent, WPGA will notify the individual of the likely consequences of withdrawing their consent and, except where otherwise required or permitted by law, WPGA will stop collecting, using or disclosing the personal information as requested.

 

If a person provides WPGA or its service providers or agents with personal information about an individual, the person represents that it has all necessary authority and/or has obtained all necessary consents from such individual to enable WPGA to collect, use and disclose such personal information for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy.
