A. Yes. York complies with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA). In addition, all the perk providers with which the Alumni Office deals are required to abide by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which provides Canadians with a right of privacy with respect to the collection, use or disclosure of their personal information for commercial activities.

A. While we want to be able to make perk information available to you, we are very cautious about how your personal information is used and by whom. The perk promotions you receive from the Alumni Office are distributed by direct mail companies. Your information is provided to the mailing house on a confidential basis, on each separate occasion, for that limited and specific use.

A. The Alumni Office and University typically contacts grads a few times each month with (unless you choose otherwise) Alumni Matters, special offers from our Perks program and any important updates from your faculty or about the campus.

We might also contact you if a former classmate wants to reconnect (we won't release your info, rather we'll send you their contact info.) You'll also receive YorkU magazine three per year free of charge.

A. For a variety of reasons. It's our hope that by maintaining contact with York you will interact with us in ways that will enrich your life and the lives of current students. Through our services you can stay in contact with a wide network of alumni, hear about national and international reunions and events, discover ways to get involved and stay informed about a wide variety of alumni-related topics.

We also want to be able to make our Perks available to you. These not only benefit you, as a grad, they enable us to support scholarships and awards, and sponsor activities that expand the reach of the University.

A. To choose what you'd like to receive from York, or unsubscribe completely, mark your preferences on this form.

A. You do. We include an "opt out" clause in our communications so at any time you can opt out of the collection and use of your personal information. You can also advise the Alumni Office about your preferences for when and how you are to be contacted or receive information. The database can then be personalized to provide the combination and type of communications you desire. You can opt-out by e-mailing us, completing this form or calling 1-866-876-2228.
