WBS is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of the student’s personal information and undertakes not to divulge any of the student’s personal information to any third party without the prior written consent of the student.

Standard Procedures of Collecting and Compiling Student Data

1. All documents submitted by students to ICA for their Student Pass Application will be photocopied, filed and locked up.
   
2. WBS will grant access to Confidential Student Information to authorized WBS personnel or other external agencies only if there is an urgent need to know based on what is reasonable in the opinion of WBS Administrative Office, an official and educational interest. “Confidential Student Information” means confidential personally identifiable student information received from the student or arising out of the student’s course of study in the School, and it excludes information that:
   
   • Is publicly known or available from other sources who are not under a confidentiality obligation to the source of the information, or subsequently becomes public by publication or otherwise through no action or fault of our Educational Institution;
   • Has been lawfully received from a third party without a breach of this state of privacy;
   • Is already known by or available to the School without a confidentiality obligation;
   • Is disclosed with prior written or verbal approval of the student; or
   • Is required to be disclosed under the law or pursuant to a lawful court order
     
3. For avoidance of doubt, the following shall be deemed to meet the requirement for disclosure:
   
   • A request for information from the Ministry of Education
   • Sharing of data with Government agencies or statutory bodies or non-government agencies authorized to carry out specific Government services, so as to serve and protect the student in an efficient and effective way; or
   • Publication or release of information that is customary by Educational Institutions, including but not limited to awards of prizes, medals, scholarships, classes of honours and other marks of distinction, and student or graduation status.
     
4. Access to Confidential Student Information for purposes other than those based on an Official and educational interest may also be granted at the discretion of West Business School, provided that a student has provided his or her consent for such disclosure.
