I just published BCNET's Privacy Impact Assessment for Turnitin: privacylibrary.ca/wp-content/u... It has not been updated since 2020. Turnitin's AI detection feature was released in 2023. If you are a journalist looking to break this story in Canada, I have FOI docs. Hi.

The entire BC public post-secondary sector relies on this PIA. BCNET provides Turnitin as a shared service and oversees the master provincial contract (which I have). My FOI confirmed that BCNET did not notify institutions of Turnitin's proposed EULA changes before they were to go into effect.

The PIA says student data stays in Canada. Where did Turnitin train AI models?
