Dear Clemens Mill Families,

 

We want to share important information regarding the yearbook software service provider used by our school. We have been informed by Edge Imaging, the company contracted by the Waterloo Region District School Board to support school photos and yearbooks, that their third party yearbook software service provider, Creator Studio Pro, has been the subject of a cyber incident. 

 

Please see a statement provided on behalf of Edge Imaging:

 

Cyber Incident Related to School Yearbooks

We have been informed that the yearbook software service provider used by our school, Creator Studio Pro, has been the subject of a cyber incident. Photos that were uploaded to this platform for our school’s 2022/23 yearbooks may have been compromised. This means that your child’s photo may have been accessed in the incident. We are advised that only photos have been accessed, and no other identifying information such as school, grade, name or location were affected by the cyber incident.

 

The security of your personal information is very important to us. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact privacyofficer@edgeimaging.ca. 

 

Important note: This cyber incident does not involve Waterloo Region District School Board’s Information Technology systems, therefore families and caregivers must direct any inquiries or concerns to Edge Imaging. We have been advised that the company has put several measures in place to prevent an incident like this in the future.

Sincerely,

V. Tiwari
