Use and disclosure of Personal Information

Where consent for the use and disclosure of personal information for purposes other than those stated at the time of collection, the College 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.
If you consented to the publication of photos, schoolwork or personally identifiable information, any document you may submit through e-mail, or on-line form or application will be subject to such consent.
You may withdraw your consent to some of the personal information processing activities described herein at any time by contacting communications@lcc.ca. Once we receive your request to withdraw your consent, we will promptly remove your personal information from our database, unless we have a legal obligation to retain it or are otherwise permitted to do so by applicable law. Please note that withdrawing your consent may affect our ability to provide certain services to you, and we will notify you of any consequences of your withdrawal, if applicable.
