PIPEDA Findings #2019-001: Investigation into Equifax Inc. and Equifax Canada Co.’s compliance with PIPEDA in light of the 2017 breach of personal information
Equifax Inc. and Equifax Canada Co.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) investigated Equifax Inc. and Equifax Canada Co. following a 2017 data breach that compromised the personal information of approximately 19,000 Canadians. The OPC found that both Equifax Inc. and Equifax Canada contravened PIPEDA concerning inadequate safeguards, data retention, accountability, and consent for the disclosure of personal information. The investigation also found Equifax Canada's post-breach safeguards to be inadequate for protecting affected Canadians. Equifax Canada has committed to corrective measures, and the matters are conditionally resolved.
