Frequently Asked Question

BC Privacy laws are both strict and very different compared to a lot of privacy laws around the world. You're not asking parents to use a particular application; you're asking parents if it's ok to store personality identifiable information in a foreign country and subject that information to foreign laws.

Things that a consent form should include:

• The name of the application
• A description of the program and how it's being used
• What information about students and/or parents you are putting into the company (be specific)
• Add if anything is going to be publicly visible to the Internet
• The location of the data if known (company and country)

If you're not sure, please send a copy of your consent form to Kenneth McCleary or Christy Fennell for proofreading or if you have questions.

The SeeSaw consent form is a good example to use as a template.
