If you are one of our students there may be some instances where we need to collect more sensitive data about you such as if you have any special educational needs or health conditions which could affect your studying. We may need this personal data in order to ensure the course is set up in the best way for you. Similarly, if you need to submit any extenuating circumstances information (for example sensitive information that may impact on your performance in an assessment) we may need to process some of this sensitive data so that it can be taken into account when assessing your performance in an exam or for a piece of work. If you are taking a course that requires us to keep a video record of an assessment, we may also obtain your biometric data (i.e. a video recording of you) in order to administer your course.

Where we process sensitive personal data about you we will make sure we will only do this with your explicit consent or as otherwise permitted under relevant data protection laws. Depending on a number of factors (including your age) we may need to get your parent or guardian to give consent on your behalf.
THIS SECTION COVERS: The majority of information we collect and process about you comes directly from you but sometimes we get it from other sources. This section sets out where we collect your personal data from.
We may collect personal data in a variety of ways, including:
- Directly from you:
Information such as name, address, telephone number, email address, as well as other information, such as your website registration details and preferred means of communication, may be collected when you voluntarily provide this information to us (for example when you enrol on a CGIA course or set up and use your CGIA portal account, take part in a survey or a recorded feedback session, participate in any user generated content facilities, or send emails to us enquiring about our courses); - From other sources:
i) If you are a student at a school which offers CGIA courses we may receive some information from your school in order to get you registered and set up on and administer the course;
ii) We also work closely with third parties providing services to us (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors who provide us with services we cannot fulfil alone, these include advertising networks, social networking platforms, analytics providers, and search information providers) and we may also receive information about you from them;
iii) We work with the Ontario Ministry of Education in order to offer students and teachers OSSD certified courses, as part of this relationship we will receive some personal data from the Ministry of Education, such as student exam IDs, results and some statistical analysis;
iv) We may combine information that we collect about you from other sources with the information that you give to us directly. We may use this combined information as described in this policy; - Cookies:
Our site uses cookies to recognize you when you visit and use the site.

Our portal currently records when you log in. We also use third party tools on our portal which provide us with information about how you (students, teachers, and course managers) use the portal including what you have clicked on and how you have interacted with and moved around the portal.
THIS SECTION COVERS: We use personal data in various ways to help us achieve different purposes, such as providing the services you request from us. This section sets out each of the ways we use personal data, why we use it and our legal basis for doing so.
We use your personal data for lots of purposes which are all linked to the products and services that we provide. From a legal perspective, there are various reasons for doing so and we have set these reasons out below.
i. For purposes related to the provision of the products and services that we offer to you:- to provide you with and administer our CGIA courses (i.e. to complete certain tasks, processes on our website or within our portal, and take payment online (where applicable)), and to communicate with you regarding any CGIA courses that you are studying or teaching and respond to your questions and comments;
- to measure student and teacher satisfaction and provide customer service and support (including troubleshooting the use of the CGIA portal);
- for statistical purposes to facilitate enrolment into courses and ensure gender balance within a course;
- to provide teachers with a sample of student work as examples of where particular pieces of work sit alongside grade boundaries (where you have given us your consent to do so);
We will rely on consent to use a student's work as sample work.
ii. For advertising and marketing purposes, including to measure how effective our marketing is:
- to send you emails or newsletters to let you know about CGIA's products, we may also combine this with information we collect from other sources to ensure we are only telling you about CGIA products which would interest you;
- to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and our advertising (i.e. so that we can tell what interests our customers and what doesn't);
- for information on how we use cookies, please see our cookie policy - Appendix A.
Rationale: We will either rely on your consent to contact you directly about CGIA's products and courses or in other scenarios (for example, where we are contacting you in a business to business context), we will rely on our legitimate interests as a business, always ensuring that your rights are protected.
iii. For administrative and internal business purposes:
- to ensure that content on our site and on our portal is presented in the best and clearest manner for you and for your device and to tailor the site and portal’s experience and content based on the way that you use our services and courses;
- to administer our site and portal and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, statistical and survey purposes;
- for our internal business purposes, such as analyzing and managing our businesses, audits, developing new products or courses, enhancing our site and portal, improving our services and products and identifying usage trends.
Rationale: It is in our legitimate interests as a business to use your personal data in this way. For example, we have a clear interest in ensuring that our portal works properly so that students can access and use course materials efficiently and our teachers are able to fully support student learning. We want to ensure that our products and services are high quality and efficient. We will always ensure that your rights are protected.
iv. For our internal recruitment:
- to consider your application for a role within our organization;
- to carry out an internal recruitment process;
- if you are happy for us to do so, to contact
you for other roles that we think you may be suitable for.
Rationale: It is in our legitimate interests as a business to use your personal data in this way. For example, to make sure that we recruit the right people to join our team.
v. For security and legal and compliance purposes:
- as part of our efforts to keep our website and portal safe and secure;
- to detect or prevent fraud or other illegal activity;
- as we believe to be necessary or appropriate in each case in order to comply with laws or legal process (including laws or legal process in other countries);
- to protect our rights or property (or the rights or property of others) and to enforce our rights and pursue available remedies;
Rationale: In some cases, we will need to use your personal data to fulfil a legal obligation (for example, if we receive a legitimate request from law enforcement agencies), and in other cases (such as the detection of fraud or ensuring the security of the site) we will rely on our legitimate interests as a business to use your data in this way.
vi. International transfer of your data:
- some of the processes involved in our use of your personal data may require your data to be stored or processed in countries outside of your home country. For example, whilst we will always try to ensure that teachers and students on CGIA courses live in the same country this is not always possible. Where this occurs we will need to transfer personal data about both student and teacher outside of their home country so that they can communicate and participate in the course. CGIA is also part of a group of companies which has a base in Beijing so we may need to transfer your personal data to China from time to time.
Rationale: Whenever we send (or permit a third party to send) your personal data outside of your home country we will make sure that we take steps necessary to protect your data as required by applicable laws. For example, we may implement specific contract terms or we may rely on service providers who adhere to certain compliance programmes overseas, or we may select service providers based in countries with strong local laws to protect your personal data.
Monitoring and profiling for CGIA portal analysis
We use third party tools to monitor and improve our CGIA portal. These tools provide us with information about how you use the CGIA portal. We use this information to ensure that our customer support team are able to assist you in the most efficient way possible as they are able to identify any issues that are specific to your interaction with the CGIA portal. We also use it to help improve the functionality of the CGIA portal and to improve our course content and course design. We ensure that your rights to your personal data are adequately protected at all times.
THIS SECTION COVERS: Sometimes we need to share your personal data to achieve certain things (such as our suppliers to provide us with services). This section explains who we share personal data with and why we need to share it.
We will never sell your personal data or give it to anyone else for them to use for their own purposes without making that clear to you. We do sometimes still need to share your personal data though. We've set out when we do this below:
(i) Sharing data within our group:
We are part of a group of companies that share some operations and business processes. We may share your personal data with any member of our group in order to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, or because it is in our legitimate interests to do so (for example, we share financial reports and other progress reports with our parent company in Beijing which may in rare instances include some personal data).
(ii) Sharing with Ontario's Ministry of Education:
The OSSD courses we offer are authorized by the Ontario Ministry of Education and students will participate in the province’s examination sessions. Our relationship with the Ministry of Education means that sometimes we will need to provide them with student personal data so that the student can participate in the course and take exams, similarly, we will receive some personal data about our students from the Ministry of Education, such as student exam IDs, results and some statistical analysis. We do this because it is necessary in order to fulfil our agreements with both our students and schools but also our agreement with the Ministry of Education.
(iii) Sharing between teachers and students:
If you are a student on any CGIA course your teacher will have access to certain information about you such as your name, your coursework, your exam results, your special educational needs (where applicable) information provided to a teacher during an online class or assessment or in email contact with your teacher, and any work you have submitted on the CGIA portal. In most cases we need to do this to ensure that your teacher is given the right tools to support your learning and progression through the course.
If you are being taught in your school, your name, your coursework and any other assessments, your exam results and your special educational needs (where applicable) may be shared with one of our course advisers for review to ensure that you are being taught and graded in accordance with our, and the examining bodies, standards and to deal with any queries from your teachers.
(iv) Sharing with organizations providing services to us:
We engage various third parties to provide services to us for specific functions, and this will often mean that we need to share your personal data with them (it is in our legitimate interests to do so, since we may not have the capabilities to provide these services ourselves). In each case, we will ensure that these third parties are only allowed to use your personal data in order to provide the relevant services to us. We will always make sure that we use organizations that we trust to look after your personal data appropriately and as required by applicable laws.
Some examples of these third parties will include: credit card processing services if you make a payment directly to us, analytics, website management, information technology and related infrastructure provision, auditing, and other similar services.
In some cases, we may use a third party payment service to process purchases made through the site. In these cases, your personal data will be collected by the payment provider on our behalf, and not by us. You should also read the payment provider's privacy policy to make sure that you understand how they may use your data.
(v) Sharing data with online advertising related service providers:
We may from time to time work with online advertisers, social media platforms and advertising networks to deliver, tailor and measure advertising to you and others both on the site and elsewhere on the internet (including on social media platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn).The personal data that we allow to be shared with these third parties includes online identifiers such as data from cookies or similar technologies, or other device related information.
Similarly, we may share certain online identifiers with analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimization of our site.
You can choose not to allow your data to be used to deliver targeted advertising by changing your settings within social media platforms. You can also contact us at support@cangloryeducation.com if you would prefer us not to use your data in this way. For more information on our use of cookies, please see our Cookie Policy for more details.
(vi) Sharing data in connection with changes to our group structure of our business:
If we sell or propose to sell our business or part of it, we may need to disclose your personal data to prospective buyers.
Similarly, if there are changes to our group structure or if our ownership changes, we may need to disclose your personal data to the new owners or operators of this site or any of our apps as part of that process.
(vii) Sharing data to comply with laws:
Sometimes the law will require us to disclose or share your personal data, for example, if we are asked to do so by a law enforcement agency or public authority in order to prevent or detect crime.
THIS SECTION COVERS: The security of your personal data is very important to us. This section explains what we do to keep it safe.
Security of your personal data:
We take the security of your data very seriously and have put physical, technical and administrative strategies, controls and measures in place to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use of disclosure as required by law and in accordance with accepted good industry practice.
To help us keep your data safe please choose a strong, secure password for your CGIA portal account and keep your password confidential and avoid sharing it with anyone.
Retention of your personal data:
In broad terms, we will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this privacy policy. This means that the retention periods will vary according to the type of the data and the reason that we have the data in the first place. For example, we will retain full academic records for a period of 5 years in accordance with the Ontario Ministry of Education; however, final transcripts will be retained indefinitely so as to be available upon future request made by the student. We will only keep the details relating to any special educational requirements for as long as you are a student with CGIA and no longer because we do not need to keep this information once you no longer need additional support.
THIS SECTION COVERS: The law gives you rights over your personal data. This section explains which rights you have and how you can exercise them.
The law gives you a number of rights in relation to your personal data and our use of it. You have the right:
- to ask us not to use your personal data for direct marketing purposes;
- to ask to see what personal data we hold about you and to find out about the way that we process the data (and in some circumstances, you can ask us to provide a copy to
a third party); - to ask us to correct or update any personal data which is inaccurate;
- to ask for personal data to be deleted in some (but not all) circumstances where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it;
- to ask us to temporarily stop using your data if you don't believe that we have a right to use it, or to stop us from using your personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue to use it; and
- not to be subject to decisions made solely on the basis of 'automated processing' (i.e. the right not to be subject to decisions made solely by algorithms or computers without input from a human) in certain circumstances. We do not currently practice any forms of 'automated processing' and will consider your rights seriously if we ever consider implementing something like this. If our practices change we will make sure we update this privacy policy.
If you would like to exercise any of the rights listed above, or if you have any queries or concerns about the way that we use your personal data (or any questions about this privacy policy), you can contact us by email at support@cangloryeducation.com.
THIS SECTION COVERS: This section explains what will happen if we make any changes to this policy.
Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this site. We may also email you with any changes if we have your email address. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy policy.
