The Arbour Foundation (« the Foundation ») will use and retain personal data in accordance with all applicable laws.

The Foundation is responsible for all personal information under its control, including personal information disclosed to third parties for processing.

The consent of any individual concerned will be obtained prior to or at the time of collection, use, disclosure or retention of personal information about them, except where authorized by the law.

Only the personal information necessary for the purpose hereby identified will be collected by the Foundation in an honest and lawful manner, specifically for:

● The selection of scholarship recipients;
● The payment of bursaries, salaries, and honoraria;
● The preparation of the annual report;
● Communicating with the community, including donors, grantees, applicants, partners, and individuals who participate in the Foundation’s activities or use its services (annual reports, electronic newsletters, monthly profiles, or other communication activity);
● Accounting and other financial needs, such as preparing and issuing tax receipts;
● Compiling statistics for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and evaluating the effectiveness of scholarship programs;
● Compliance with legal requirements;
● Any other purpose for which the consent of the parties involved will be obtained.

In particular, the Foundation may disclose personal information to the following individuals:

● Members of the Foundation’s Selection Committee;
● The member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors who would act as a mentor to the applicant;
● Members of the Board of Directors for the Pierre-Arbour Honorary Award;
● To any other individual who, on the basis of a written authorization from the applicant, requests such information as their agent or representative.

Personal information will be retained for only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the above-mentioned purposes.

Une déclaration trompeuse d’un candidat au concours des Bourses Arbour entraînera sa disqualification et la cessation de la bourse. La Fondation se réserve le droit de récupérer les sommes versées.

Upon request, the Foundation will correct any inaccuracies in the personal data collected while it is under its control.

Regardless of the format in which the information is being held, the Foundation will do its best effort to protect it against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

An individual may withdraw his/her consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. If such a withdrawal takes effect during the period of eligibility to the scholarship, such eligibility and the Foundation’s capability to administer such payment may be reduced or nullified (i.e., the scholarship may not be awarded and/or its disbursement cancelled, as a consequence of the withdrawal of consent).

In the event of non-compliance with this Privacy Policy, an individual may bring a complaint to the Foundation. If the complaint is proven founded, the Foundation will take appropriate action as soon as possible.
