This page explains how Black AI Centre handles personal information and sets the rules that apply when you use our website, programs, events, resources and digital services.
Black AI Centre is committed to handling personal information responsibly, transparently and in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through our websites, registration and application forms, programs, events, surveys, newsletters, community platforms, research activities, communications and related services.
Black AI Centre is responsible for personal information under its control. We designate an authorized representative to oversee privacy compliance and respond to questions, access requests and complaints.
Depending on how you engage with us, we may collect:
We do not intentionally request highly sensitive information unless it is reasonably necessary for a stated purpose and appropriate safeguards are in place.
We may use personal information to:
We will identify the purposes for collection at or before the time information is collected and will not use personal information for a materially different purpose without consent or another lawful basis.
We obtain consent in a form appropriate to the sensitivity of the information and the circumstances. Consent may be express or implied where permitted by law. You may withdraw consent, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawal may affect our ability to provide a requested service.
We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information:
Some service providers may process information outside your province or outside Canada. Information in another jurisdiction may be accessible to courts, law enforcement or regulators under that jurisdiction’s laws.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functions, preferences, analytics, security and performance. You can adjust browser settings to limit cookies, although some features may not work as intended. Where required, we will request consent for nonessential cookies.
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the identified purposes and applicable legal, accounting, reporting or contractual requirements. We then securely delete, destroy or anonymize it.
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Where required by law, we will assess, record and report qualifying privacy breaches and notify affected individuals.
Some programs may serve youth. Where required, we obtain consent from a parent or legal guardian and collect only information reasonably necessary to administer the program and protect participants. Parents or guardians should review program specific notices and consent forms.
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information we hold about you, ask how it has been used or disclosed, request correction of inaccurate information, withdraw consent or raise a privacy concern. We may need to verify your identity and may lawfully refuse or limit access in certain circumstances.

Marketing communications will be sent in accordance with applicable requirements, including Canada’s anti spam legislation where applicable. You may unsubscribe using the link provided or by contacting us. We may retain limited information needed to honour an unsubscribe request.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, services or practices. The revised version will be posted with a new effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through other reasonable means.

By accessing the website, submitting a form, registering for an event or participating in a program, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the applicable service.
You must provide accurate and complete information and have legal capacity to agree. A parent or legal guardian must provide any consent required for a minor.
You agree to engage respectfully and lawfully. You must not harass others, discriminate, threaten safety, disrupt activities, impersonate another person, submit false information, misuse confidential information, infringe intellectual property, introduce malicious code or use our services for unlawful or harmful purposes.
We may restrict access, remove content or end participation where reasonably necessary to protect participants, staff, partners, systems or the integrity of our work. Serious matters may be referred to appropriate authorities.
Unless otherwise stated, the website, brand, logos, curriculum, templates, publications, graphics, recordings, videos, text and other materials are owned by or licensed to Black AI Centre and are protected by intellectual property laws.
We grant you a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable and revocable permission to access materials for their intended educational or informational purpose. You may not reproduce, sell, publish, distribute, modify, scrape, train a model on, create derivative works from or commercially exploit materials without prior written permission, except where permitted by law.

Public use of names, testimonials, photos, recordings or project materials for promotional purposes will be handled under an applicable notice, consent form or agreement.
Programs and resources may introduce third party artificial intelligence tools. These tools can generate inaccurate, incomplete, biased or inappropriate outputs. You are responsible for independently reviewing outputs before relying on or publishing them and for complying with applicable laws, employer policies, confidentiality duties and third party terms.
Do not enter confidential, proprietary, personal, health, financial or otherwise sensitive information into an AI tool unless you are authorized to do so and understand how that provider will process the information.
Our services may link to or integrate third party websites, platforms, payment services, AI tools and resources. We do not control and are not responsible for their availability, security, content, privacy practices or terms. Your use of third party services is governed by the third party’s terms.
Our content and services are provided for educational and informational purposes. They do not constitute legal, financial, investment, medical, employment, cybersecurity or other regulated professional advice. Participation does not guarantee employment, income, funding, business success, certification, immigration outcomes or any particular result.
Independent judgment requiredTechnology and AI evolve rapidly. You are responsible for evaluating information, obtaining professional advice where appropriate and making your own decisions.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the website, content and services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error free operation, compatibility, completeness, accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Black AI Centre and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, instructors, mentors, volunteers, partners and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or loss of profits, revenue, data, opportunity, goodwill or business interruption arising from use of or inability to use the services.
Where liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability will be limited to the greater of the amount you paid directly to us for the specific service giving rise to the claim during the preceding twelve months and any minimum amount required by law. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Black AI Centre and its representatives from third party claims, losses, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the services, violation of these Terms, infringement of third party rights or content you submit. This clause does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own unlawful conduct.
We may suspend or terminate access where you breach these Terms, create legal or security risk, harm others, fail to meet applicable program requirements or misuse our services. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will continue, including intellectual property, liability, indemnity and governing law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict of law principles. Subject to rights that cannot be waived, the courts located in Ontario will have jurisdiction over disputes.
Before starting formal proceedings, the parties should first attempt in good faith to resolve the concern by written notice and reasonable discussion.
If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may update these Terms and will post the revised version with a new effective date. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms.
