QuestionQ25

Canadian Privacy Laws and Practices in the Private Sector

Under PIPEDA, each of the following is considered personal information EXCEPT?

  • A A public official’s salary published on a government web site.
  • B A person’s telephone number published in a public directory.
  • C A photograph taken in public and published in a newspaper.
  • D Information about a defendant contained in court records.
Explanation

A public official’s salary published by a government institution is official public-sector information associated with the office rather than PIPEDA-regulated private-sector personal information. Public availability does not by itself remove other identifiable information from the definition: a listed telephone number remains personal information, and PIPEDA’s regulations expressly describe personal information in public telephone directories and judicial records as personal information.
