PA-055322 (PCO) et PA-055323 (DOJ) — Privy Council Office (PCO) and Department of Justice (DOJ)
Privy Council Office (PCO) and Department of Justice (DOJ)
This investigation examined a complaint regarding the alleged leak of personal information about a Supreme Court of Canada candidate. The complainant alleged that documents revealed by an anonymous source demonstrated a disagreement between the Prime Minister’s Office and the former Attorney General concerning the candidate's nomination. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) investigated the Privy Council Office (PCO) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) but found no evidence that these institutions were responsible for the unauthorized disclosure. The OPC's investigation was constrained by jurisdictional limitations, as the Privacy Act does not apply to Ministers' offices or the Prime Minister's Office.

PIPEDA Findings #2020-001: Bank ensures openness and comparable protection for personal information transferred to third party
TD Canada Trust
A former employee of TD Canada Trust (TD) complained that TD had outsourced fraud claims processing to a third-party provider in India without customer consent or an opt-out option. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) investigated and found that TD was not required to obtain additional consent as the personal information was used for the original purpose of fraud claims management. The OPC also found TD was sufficiently open about its outsourcing practices and remained accountable by ensuring comparable protection through contractual and monitoring measures.
