Privacy statement
The BC Generations Project (BCGP) is committed to protecting your privacy. We follow best practices in holding any personal information we collect. We only collect the information you explicitly provide to us, and we only keep what we need to process/evaluate/respond to your submissions, requests and applications.

Confidentiality of Research Projects Submitted
All information on research projects submitted to BCGP will be kept confidential except as otherwise indicated in this Policy. Note, as BCGP is a member of the pan-Canadian Study, Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health, BCGP may share limited information within CanPath for the purposes of reporting regional interest in the resource. In the event that a regional access request overlaps with other CanPath requests, additional communication may occur within CanPath to properly facilitate the request. Once access to BCGP data holdings is granted, the following information will be added to a publicly available registry created by BCGP:

  • Title of the research project accepted;
  • Name(s) of the Investigator(s) involved;
  • Name(s) of the Institution(s) involved;
  • Start Year;
  • A lay summary of the scientific abstract submitted by the Applicant.
