DATA WE MAY COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

There is mainly two types of data we may collect when you use the www.thecommunity.ca website, Anonymous data automatically collected by third-party applications and Personal data that is explicitely provided by you when submitting it via a fill-in form.

PERSONNAL INFORMATION (ACTIVE DATA COLLECTION)
