First, we said that we were in the process of amending our policies and procedures. There is an adjustment in terminology, but the terminology matters little. Justice Noël's decision is clear: If the information is not threat-related and linked to third-party communications, we cannot retain it. Whether we use the term “associated data” or some other term, we are complying with the decision, which applies to non-threat-related associated data linked to third-party communications.
However, I quite agree that the terminology and the definitions are confusing.
