What we share with others 

CHPCA contracts with third-party service providers to provide support services required for the provision services. 

Where CHPCA transfers Personal Information to service providers or contractors that perform services on its behalf, we will require those third parties to use such information solely for the purposes of providing services to CHPCA or our users, and to have appropriate safeguards for the protection of that Personal Information. Sharing of information with third party service providers and contractors will occur only after those entities have entered into a confidentiality agreement that: 

  • prohibits them from using, allowing access to, or disclosing your Personal Information to any other party (unless required to do so by law); and 
  • requires them to have appropriate protections in place to ensure the ongoing confidentiality of your Personal Information.
