St. Paul's High School is committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information of parents, students, donors, alumni, employees, suppliers and community members. St. Paul's High School values the trust of those who provide their personal information to us, and recognizes that maintaining this trust requires that we be transparent and accountable in how we treat this information.
During the course of our various projects and activities, including but not limited to school registration, personal information gathered is used to deliver services and to keep you up to date on and included in the activities of St. Paul's High School such as: programs; services; special events; fundraising; opportunities to volunteer; and, to keep you informed through publications. In addition, we may collect such personal information as names, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, taxation numbers, records of transactions and social insurance numbers from suppliers, employees, prospective employees and past employees. Student records are maintained and protected as required by statute. Anyone from whom we collect personal information should expect that it will be carefully protected. St. Paul's privacy practices are designed to meet this expectation.
In the regular course of business we publicly acknowledge important achievements of community members and gifts from benefactors. For example, St. Paul's High School reports to alumni, friends, parents, and the public on Donor Fund Account Names and balances but never shares individual donor information, other than their name and type of donation. If requested, we will not publish the name of any individual donor. With respect to students, the school publishes an Honour Roll and record of academic, athletic or other scholarships except when explicitly requested not to do so by the award recipient.

Personal information is any information that can be used to distinguish, identify or contact a specific individual, such as an individual's name address, birth date, e-mail address and phone number. Personally identifiable information will not be rented or sold to any third party. As a regular course of business it may be provided to those companies that provide us with contracted services, such as mail houses, designers, printers, insurers, and collection agencies, for a task.
