We may use third-party providers to operate and support the website. These providers may assist with:

  • Website hosting and content management
  • Form processing

6. Processing Outside Canada

Some service providers may process or store information outside Canada, including in the United States. Information processed in another country may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, governments, or law-enforcement authorities under those laws.

  • To protect our legal rights, users, or property
  • In connection with a reorganization, transfer, or sale of the website or its assets

8. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, respond to requests, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or comply with legal obligations.

Information that is no longer required will be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of where reasonably practical.

9. Safeguarding Information

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information online at your own risk.

The Current does not control the privacy, security, or content practices of those third parties. Review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
