How Your Information May be Used

Your information is needed to register you as a member of Convocation and as a member of the UNBC Alumni community. We may use your information to inform you about the UNBC Alumni educational, volunteer, networking, award and social programs; to provide you with information about alumni benefits and services; to facilitate alumni participation in research projects, surveys, fundraising and development activities; and to administer elections for university and alumni association governing bodies. The University may also disclose your contact information, under strict confidentiality agreements, to service providers solely for communicating with you on behalf of the University or the Alumni Council. 

Please note that we use a third-party service to collect information from public sources so we can keep our databases up to date and provide more targeted invitations and opportunities. This service is utilized to enhance our communication efforts and tailor them to your interests and preferences. We assure you that we take the security and privacy of your information seriously. We implement robust measures to safeguard your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
