We do not collect any personal information unless you voluntarily provide

the time of collection. When a user submits personally identifiable information
it is used only for the purpose stated at the time of collection.

Where consent for the use and 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 the student and/ or parent
depending on the circumstances and the student’s mental ability and maturity to
understand the consequences of the proposed use and disclosure.
