PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal information may be collected in a number of locations on this website and may include personally identifiable information (e.g. name, address, birthdate, email address, financial information). We do not collect any personal information unless you voluntarily provide it by participating in an activity, such as posting to our website, sending us e-mail, participating in a survey, or completing an online form. Personal information submitted will not be transferred to any non-affiliated third parties unless otherwise stated at the time of collection. Consent is sought when appropriate, as described in the following section.
CONSENT
Where consent for the use or disclosure of personal information is required, the school will seek consent from the appropriate person. In the case of a student’s personal information, the school will seek the consent from both the student and the parent / guardian.
