BVCAA Privacy Policy

The Bow Valley College Alumni Association (BVCAA) as part of Bow Valley College, under the authority of Section 33(c) of the Alberta Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and The Post Secondary Learning Act, collects and utilizes alumni contact information specifically for the purposes of administering alumni relations and for the development of programs for Bow Valley College. Once you obtain alumni status, your alumni record includes the information you provided as a student or employee with the exception of academic grade and/or pay information. This information is only updated if you provide it voluntarily. Any information submitted by an individual to the BVCAA may be used to update that individual's record. Individuals who submit information to the BVCAA acknowledge the above and consent to the collection and use of the disclosed personal information for the purposes stated above.

 Your record, your right  

The Bow Valley College Alumni Association (BVCAA) uses alumni contact information for the following purposes: alumni e-blast distribution, a limited number of solicitation campaigns from Bow Valley College Alumni Association affinity partners, and occasional e-mail, mail and/or phone contact to research and promote new programs, services and events which are relevant to the alumni being targeted.

 The BVCAA does not collect personal information for commercial marketing or distribution to any private organizations that do not have an affinity partner contract with the Bow Valley College Alumni Association. Affinity partners are carefully selected and must offer valued services and/or extend special rates or pricing to Bow Valley College Alumni; revenue generated from those partnerships is used to fund programs and operations of the Office of Alumni Relations at Bow Valley College. As agreed to by contract, all affinity partner telephone, mail and e-mail communication is handled through a third party mail-house or call centre that will use your contact information only for BVCAA approved initiatives. Any personal information provided by an alumnus to an affinity partner as a result of a solicitation campaign is done so at the discretion of the individual.

The BVCAA considers your privacy to be a top priority. At any time you have the right to request that your personal information cease to be used for any or all of the following purposes: alumni emails, solicitation by affinity partners, College fundraising purposes and/or information regarding events, programs & services offered by or in conjunction with the BVCAA.

If you have any questions or concerns about your alumni record, or would like to limit the type of contact you receive, please contact us at 403-355-4666 or e-mail alumni@bowvalleycollege.ca
