ESDC’s usage of images obtained through video surveillance for a fact finding exercise to monitor an employee’s departure is not compliant with the Privacy Act
Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) investigated a complaint that Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) improperly used video surveillance footage to monitor an employee's departure times. The OPC found that ESDC's use of the footage for this purpose was not consistent with the stated security collection purpose and that employees were not adequately informed about the camera usage. ESDC agreed to implement a clear policy on video surveillance use and inform individuals about collection purposes.
