Consent for International Transfer under Art. 49(1)(a) of GDPR
I, student/agent, give my free and explicit consent to Kaplan International Pathways Canada Limited (“Kaplan”) to transfer my personal information, including my name, contact information, transcripts, and program of interest the information I have provided in the application form to the University of Alberta (“U of A”) in Alberta Canada, for the purposes of administering my application for admission to a program of study at U of A. This consent is given under Article 49 of the GDPR:
Derogations for specific situations
1. In the absence of an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45(3), or of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46, including binding corporate rules, a transfer or a set of transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation shall take place only on one of the following conditions:
a. the data subject has explicitly consented to the proposed transfer, after having been informed of the possible risks of such transfers for the data subject due to the absence of an adequacy decision and appropriate safeguards[.]
I understand that once my personal information is transferred to U of A, my personal information will be collected, secured, used, and disclosed by U of A in accordance with Alberta’s privacy legislation, the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, RSBC 1996, c.165 (“FIPPA”), and U of A’s Protection of Privacy Policy (GV0235) and associated procedures.
I understand that my privacy rights under the GDPR will not apply to my personal information in the custody and control of U of A. Under FIPPA, my privacy rights will include:
- right to be informed of the reason for collecting my personal information;
- right to access my personal information; and
- right to request correction of my personal information.
I understand that I will not have the following privacy rights under FIPPA:
- right to erasure/right to be forgotten;
- right to opt-out of processing;
- right to data portability; or
- right to logic behind automated decision making.
I understand the privacy risks associated with consenting to the transfer of my personal information to U of A. I understand that I may reach out to U of A to ask questions and understand my privacy rights related to my personal information held by U of A.
I understand that I have the right to decline signing this consent form; however, in such case I will not be able to apply for admission to a program of study at U of A through Kaplan.
I understand that this consent may only be revoked prior to the submission of my application to U of A (i.e., before U of A has collected my personal information).
