Poll says Canadians want personal information treated more responsibly (May 31 2008 23:30 GMT) - Ottawa, June 30, 2006 -Canadians want the government and businesses to take their responsibility for safeguarding personal information more seriously, according to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Jennifer Stoddart, who released today the findings from a poll commissioned by her Office. The study reveals that most Canadians believe that neither the government nor businesses take their responsibility to protect their personal information very seriously. Only 14 per cent of Canadians believe that the federal government takes its responsibility to protect personal information very seriously and only 11 per cent are confident that businesses take this responsibility very seriously. "The current government has pledged to make accountability a trademark of government operations, and I can't think of a better way to demonstrate this principle, than by holding it to account for the way in which it treats the personal information," says Privacy Commi ssioner Jennifer Stoddart. |

Information Architecture > Experts welcome call for security breach notification law (May 31 2008 23:30 GMT) - Canadian privacy law experts support a proposal that organizations be required to notify clients if their personal information has become vulnerable due to a security breach. The proposal was initially made by the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) earlier this week. CIPPIC said the federal government should have "breach notification laws" similar to those in place in more than 30 American states. "The absence of a clear requirement for notification in the case of security breaches is a glaring gap in our existing data protection law," said Philippa Lawson, director of CIPPIC, a public advocacy group based at the University of Ottawa. CIPPIC was among the groups that presented submissio ns when the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) was being drafted. |

The cartoon was intended to provide an education in copyright law for children, but it became a focus for criticism when even the Canadian Library Association condemned it for lacking balance because it ignored issues like Fair Dealing (Canada's version of Fair Use).

p2pnet.net -Identity theft in Canada (May 31 2008 23:30 GMT) - Privacy took centre stage in Canada late last week as TJX Cos., the parent company of retail giants Winners and HomeSense, disclosed that as many as two million Canadian credit cards may have been accessed by computer hackers. Less than 24 hours later, the CIBC revealed that account information for 470,000 customers had been lost when a computer file went missing while in transit between company offices. These two incidents, which follow a steady stream of similar security breaches in the United States, highlight the fragility of sensitive, personal information that is entrusted to Canadian businesses as well as the inadequacy of current Canadian privacy legislation. Business groups have cautioned against privacy law reforms, yet as the risk of identity theft grows, the calls for change are likely to become more vocal. |
