Chartered Business Valuator Program: Important Notice

March 8, 2024

York University’s provider of the Chartered Business Valuators (CBV) Program of Studies has confirmed a privacy breach that involved 90 students enrolled in the Fall 2021 Term. The privacy breach involved the personal information of CBV students including full name, grades, CBV student ID, and email address. Due to an administrative error the information was uploaded to Moodle in September and November of 2023 and was accessible to students enrolled in the Program. The information was removed as soon as it came to the attention of the CBV Institute.

The CBV Institute will be contacting each student affected by this incident and, on request, is offering credit monitoring services for the next year. Contact Saam Bandari, Director of Education & Accreditation at the CBV Institute for more information.

York takes the privacy of our students and community very seriously. We are working with the CBV Institute to understand why this happened and what actions they are taking to increase their data security.

Please contact the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators directly at saam.bandari@cbvinstitute.com or by phone at 416-613-9554.
