How your personal information is collected and used
Personal information is collected
under the authority of The
University of Western Ontario Act, 1982 as amended, for the
purposes of keeping our alumni & donor community informed of our programs
and services and for fundraising for The University of Western Ontario and the
Alumni Association. Publicly available personal information may be
collected for the purpose of updating alumni records as well as for the purpose
of recognizing outstanding achievement or distinguished service by alumni in
University publications.
As an alumnus, your information
is used in order to register you as a member of Convocation and The University
of Western Ontario Alumni Association. Parents, staff, faculty supporters, and
former students are eligible to become Associate Members of the Alumni
Association. For alumni, Associate Members and donors, we may use
personal information to communicate with you about programs and services such as
career, education, volunteer, networking, award or social programs, surveys,
participation in research projects or focus groups, to provide receipts for
donations and for fundraising purposes.
For our alumni, from time to time
we partner with corporate affinity partners who are companies that offer alumni
benefits through use of their products. The University may disclose your
contact information, under strict confidentiality agreements, to mail houses or
other outside agencies for the purpose of contacting you to determine your
interest in such products on behalf of the affinity partners. The University
receives a financial benefit through alumni use of such services.
We do not sell or otherwise publicly disclose alumni, donor or friends personal information, nor do we share alumni information directly with any of our corporate affinity partners. While we do communicate with you to market products and services provided by our affinity partners, at no time do these companies have direct access to your contact information unless you agree.
Questions and concerns about Western's approach to protecting personal
information should be directed to Paul Eluchok, Associate University
