The Provider will obtain assurances from its Agents and any third party to whom the Provider discloses personal information that such Agent and/or third party will safeguard personal information consistently with this Statement. The Provider will enter into a contract with such Agent and/or third party prior to affecting a transfer of personal information, which contract will provide at least the same level of protection as is required by this Statement and by applicable privacy legislation. Where the Provider has knowledge that an Agent and/or third party is using or disclosing personal information in a manner contrary to this Statement, the Provider will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure of the personal information and/or to obtain the Agent’s and/or third party’s deletion, destruction, anonymization or return of the personal information.
