CRTC website policy raises privacy concerns

CIPPIC has asked the federal Privacy Commissioner to investigate the CRTC policy of posting on its website the personal contact information provided by individuals who submit comments on public proceedings. CIPPIC seeks a determination as to whether this policy violates the Privacy Act, and if it is legal, whether it is an appropriate approach to balancing the privacy interests of individuals with the need for accountability and transparency in public proceedings. See CIPPIC's "Privacy webpage": for more background on this filing.
