To what extent is the sharing of information about students with student societies included under the term consistent use?
Yes, but only to the extent that an agreement between Mount Royal and the Student Association requires information sharing [Section 40(1)(e)]. Sharing personal information without an agreement is likely not a consistent use of information collected from students by the institution. However, an institution can’t enter or uphold an agreement that breaches and individual’s privacy under the Act. Other information sharing should only be done with the consent of the student. Consent could be gathered at the time of registration.
