PRIVACY POLICY

I have read CSI’s Policies and Guidelines including the Refund Policy, Privacy Policy and Student Code of Conduct described on the website at www.csi.ca and agree to abide by the rules and regulations outlined in it.

CSI’s privacy policy is designed to protect your personal information. This policy describes the personal information that CSI requires, how it will be used and under what circumstances it may be distributed to third parties. Very briefly, CSI needs to obtain certain information about you to enrol you in a course and to match your results to your academic file. Without it, we cannot accept you as a student as we wouldn’t be able to create a student record for you. We will ask for information such as your name, address and credit card number. We will only ask for the information we need, we will keep it safe and we will not sell or distribute it to anyone else. We may share it with our suppliers to better serve you, to compile records or to report to the regulators. We will not give any information to your employer unless you complete the information release consent form, or breach CSI’s Student Code of Conduct.

By signing and submitting this document, I confirm that I understand and consent to the collection, use and disclosure of my personal information by CSI and I agree to abide by the CSI Student Code of Conduct.

The consent provided herein may be revoked, in whole or in part, by me by providing CSI with ten (10) business days prior written notice delivered to 625, René-Lévesque Blvd West, Suite 400, Montreal (Quebec) H3B 1R2, CANADA, attention: Customer Support.
