GBP Campus Stores regards the privacy of all users as of utmost importance. We will take all commercially reasonable means necessary to protect any information you may give us. We only collect Personal Information that you provide or that is otherwise provided to us on your behalf (such as your name, address, phone number, student ID number, email address, payment details, etc.).
By providing your Personal Information to us, you implicitly agree that we may collect, use, and disclose your Personal Information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

We will limit the information we collect to what we need for those purposes.
We do not disclose your Personal Information to third parties without your consent unless required or permitted by applicable law. We will not rent, sell, loan, or otherwise market your Personal Information to any third party.
There are some situations in which we may disclose your Personal Information without your consent. For example:
We may transfer your Personal Information to service providers who are performing services on our behalf. These service providers will be obligated to treat your Personal Information in accordance with the requirements of this Privacy Policy.
Occasionally, we may use service providers located outside of Canada to process and/or store Personal Information for us. Please note that Personal Information in the custody of these service providers may be subject to access by the law enforcement authorities of those jurisdictions in which the service providers are located. Our Privacy Officer, whose contact information is provided below, can provide further information about our policies and practices regarding service providers located outside of Canada.
When you provide us with your Personal Information, you agree that you are providing us your implied consent to collect and use your Personal Information to fulfill the requested order, service, or information request. You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information at any time. However, please note that, for certain services, if you withdraw your consent, we may no longer be able to provide the service or fulfill orders for you.
Additionally, if you opt in to receive promotional emails, every email will contain an “unsubscribe” link that you can click to withdraw your consent and remove your email address from further promotional messages.
It is important that the information you provide us is accurate and updated. You have a right to challenge the accuracy and completeness of your Personal Information and to have it amended, as appropriate. You also have a right to request access to your Personal Information and receive an accounting of how that information has been used and disclosed, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law under FIPPA.
To request access or to amend your Personal Information, please contact our Freedom of Information & Privacy Coordinator at the contact details below.
You may contact our Privacy Coordinator to ask us to remove your Personal Information from our records, electronic or otherwise. However, we will need to maintain certain Personal Information about you as long as reasonably necessary for us to complete our dealings with you, or as may be required by law and institutional audit standards. For example, we will maintain transaction records of any purchases you make on the GBP Campus Stores Websites for warranty, audit, and tax purposes.
Like most online platforms, the GBP Campus Stores Websites use cookies and/or other similar technologies to collect and store certain information. These typically involve pieces of information or code that a website transfers to or accesses from your computer hard drive or mobile device to store and track information about you.
The GBP Campus Stores Websites use cookies and similar technologies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us provide you with a seamless shopping experience when you browse and allows us to improve our platform.
You can set your web browser to reject cookies. However, if you disable all cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of the GBP Campus Stores Websites or complete online transactions.
Security for all Personal Information is extremely important to us. We employ SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) / TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols, which are industry-standard encryption methods, for your privacy during transmission of sensitive information.
While we take rigorous steps to protect your information, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you maintain a user account on a GBP Campus Stores Website, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and account details.
By signing in with your official student credentials to access course materials and matching textbooks, you consent to GBP Campus Stores accessing your registered course schedule for the sole purpose of providing you with an accurate list of required and recommended course materials.

We may provide links to partner sites (e.g., digital textbook publishers, access code platforms) or third-party websites not controlled by GBP Campus Stores. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of those external sites and advise you to review their respective privacy policies before providing any Personal Information.
