Emerging Issue – Data and Privacy Law


The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) published a report on whether an alarm company mishandled customer complaints regarding a breach of personal information PIPEDA Findings #2024-002: Investigation into Brinks Home - Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.  The report acknowledged that inadequate safeguards were in place to handle sensitive customer information, yet the OPC did not find that the breach required that the alarm company report it to the OPC or to notify the affected individuals. To find out more about the report and its implications, please review the Law360 Canada article here.
