UBC uses Scavify, a mobile device application, to create and manage Scavify activities to promote physical activity and wellbeing. UBC collects your personal information, including your full name and e-mail address, in order to create an account and provide you access to Scavify. UBC collects and uses this information under authority of section 26(c) of the BC Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).

Scavify is hosted on servers located outside of Canada (in the USA). UBC requires your consent to disclose the information it collects from you in order to create your account and provide you access to Scavify‘s services.

Scavify provides functions that allow you to upload photos and videos, and to check-in using your mobile device’s geo-location capabilities, all as part of tasks participants may be required to be complete when participating in a Scavify activity. Use of these functions is optional and may not be required for specific Scavify activities.

Note: It is solely your responsibility to ensure the necessary consents have been obtained from all other individuals who may appear in any images (photographs, video/audio recordings, or other likenesses) that you chose to upload to Scavify.

UBC uses information you enter into Scavify for the purposes of recording completion of Scavify activities and identifying participants of particular tasks. Aggregated information is used to identify tasks with high participant rates. The information will not be shared with anyone outside of the Faculty of Education’s DNSO team, except as noted below.
