Service Canada changes policy re: posting personal data online

| July 09, 2008

In response to a formal complaint filed by CIPPIC last summer about the unnecessary inclusion of personal details in employment insurance appeal decisions posted online, Service Canada (the federal government department responsible) has finally agreed to change its policy.  The Privacy Commissioner of Canada found CIPPIC's complaint to be well-founded, and made a number of specific recommendations which Service Canada has now agreed to implement.
