Saints & Scholars Academy Limited ("SSA") collects personal information to deliver its academic programs. This policy describes what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and your rights — in accordance with BC's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).
By enrolling in SSA's programs or submitting information through our website, you consent to the practices described here.
SSA does not collect sensitive personal information such as health records, financial account details, government identification numbers, or ethnic or racial origin, except where explicitly required for a specific program purpose and with your prior written consent.
SSA uses personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected:
SSA does not use personal information for third-party marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making.
SSA does not sell, rent, or trade personal information to any third party. Information is shared only in the following limited circumstances:
Student name, grade, academic goals, and session notes may be shared with assigned SSA mentors and tutors solely for the purpose of delivering sessions and preparing progress reports. Mentors are bound by confidentiality obligations.
SSA may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, including under BC's Child, Family and Community Service Act duty-to-report obligations.
Personal information is stored in Canada and on servers operated by our service providers, which may be located outside Canada. Where data is held outside Canada, it is subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.
SSA applies reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including access controls and encrypted communications. SSA will respond promptly to any suspected data breach.
SSA retains personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including:
Upon written request, SSA will delete personal information that is no longer required, subject to applicable legal retention obligations.
SSA's services are directed at minor students (under the age of 18). We collect student personal information only through their parent or guardian, who is responsible for providing consent on the student's behalf.
SSA does not knowingly collect personal information directly from minors without parental or guardian consent. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to SSA without appropriate consent, please contact us immediately at director@saintsscholars.ca.
SSA does not photograph, record, or capture video or audio of students during online sessions without explicit prior written consent from a parent or guardian. Any consent provided is specific in scope and may be withdrawn at any time by written notice to SSA.
SSA will not use images, videos, or identifying information about students in any marketing, promotional, or public-facing materials without separate, explicit written consent.
