McMaster University’s Notice of Collection, Use and Disclosure Statement 

The Protection of Privacy provisions of the Act regulate the collection, use, disclosure, security and retention of personal information in the University’s custody and control. Many of the administrative requirements of this section of the legislation have been addressed previously with the introduction in 1995 of McMaster’s Guidelines on Access to Information and Protection of Privacy, and the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (2000), which as of January 2004 imposed similar requirements on those sectors of the University involved in commercial activity. The University has developed a Notice of Collection, Use and Disclosure statement, outlining the kind of personal information that is collected and the use that is made of such information. 

For more information on the Notice of Collection, Use and Disclosure of information, please visit secretariat.mcmaster.ca/privacy/notice-of-collection-use-and-disclosure/.
