Ca: Privacy rules likely breached: commissioner

Posted on January 5, 2010 by pogowasright.org

Gary Kean reports:

The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner says it is likely there was an intentional breach of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act with respect to the disclosure of personal information contained in the Town of Steady Brook’s records nearly two years ago.

However, in his report released Monday, commissioner Ed Ring has also concluded he has been unable to identify who was responsible for the breach and could not comment on whether or not a criminal offence may have occurred.

Those conclusions were made in Ring’s report on his investigation into complaints filed by four individuals who claimed to have had personal information inappropriately divulged as a result of an investigation by the Department of Municipal Affairs into the Town of Steady Brook’s internal operations.
