Commissioner’s Findings - PIPEDA Case Summary #2009-008: Report of Findings: CIPPIC v. Facebook Inc.
Facebook Inc.
CIPPIC filed a complaint alleging 24 violations of PIPEDA by Facebook across 12 subjects, focusing on knowledge and consent. The Assistant Privacy Commissioner found Facebook contravened the Act in areas such as default privacy settings, advertising, third-party applications, account deactivation/deletion, deceased users' accounts, and non-users' personal information. While some allegations were resolved through Facebook's proposed corrective measures, others remained unresolved, particularly concerning third-party applications and the safeguarding of user data.
