Letter of finding regarding the video surveillance issue
Centurion Security Services
The federal Privacy Commissioner investigated a complaint regarding a security company's installation of street surveillance cameras. The Commissioner found that live video feeds of individuals constituted personal information under PIPEDA and that collecting this information for commercial purposes without consent was unlawful. The company was informed that its intended public video surveillance for commercial purposes is not compliant with privacy laws.
