Notification of Breach
We understand that PIPEDA defines a “breach of security safeguards†as the loss of, unauthorized access to, or unauthorized disclosure of personal information resulting from a breach of an organization’s security safeguards that are referred to in PIPEDA, or from a failure to establish those safeguards.
We comply with PIPEDA requirements to report and notify of breaches with a real risk of significant harm, and maintain records of all breaches.
We report any breach that involves personal information in our control, if it is reasonable to believe that the breach creates a “ real risk of significant harmâ€.
We determine whether a breach involves a real risk of significant harm based on the sensitivity of the information, and the probability that it has been or will be misused.
Our records include information to enable the OPC to verify compliance. That includes:
- Date or estimated date that the breach occurred
- A description of the circumstances
- The type of information involved
- Whether the breach was reported to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and the affected individuals.
- If the breach was not reported, a brief explanation of why the breach did not pose a “real risk of significant harm.â€
