Established by the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC (CHF BC) in 2015, CLT is owned by BC’s cooperative housing sector and is a member of the CHF BC group of social enterprises, and shares CHF BC’s privacy policy. 

CLT and CHF BC place high value on the privacy of our members and the partners we work with. 

Why we collect personal information

CLT collects and keeps basic personal information so that we can manage, develop and strengthen our operations, including member services. As we learn about our members and partners’ needs and preferences, we can develop better ways to serve them.

In carrying out our purpose, CLT is committed to:

  • protect your personal information with appropriate security safeguards;
  • protect the confidentiality of personal information;
  • keep your personal information as accurate and up-to-date as possible; and
  • honour any request you may make for access or amendment to your personal information.

We would appreciate your consent to continue to collect, use and disclose your personal information for the purposes identified above. But it is your choice. It is your information. You can refuse or withdraw your consent as follows:

  • You can be removed from our telephone, mail or e-mail lists. We use these lists to inform you of relevant products, services and special offers that may be of benefit to you.
  • You may decline to provide personal information to us. You may also withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.

In either case, this may limit our ability to serve you.

CLT consistently monitors the use of the information you provide, and your privacy.
