CA: Snoopers Beware; NL’s Privacy Commissioner Recommends Naming Individuals in Snooping-Related Breaches
Newfoundland and Labrador's Privacy Commissioner recommends that public bodies name individuals responsible for privacy breaches involving unauthorized access to records. The recommendation follows an incident where a Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services employee accessed a person's health record without authorization, and the health authority reported the breach to the Privacy Commissioner, who determined the response was appropriate.
Why it matters: Healthcare organizations and public bodies in Newfoundland and Labrador should review their breach notification policies to determine whether naming responsible individuals aligns with the Privacy Commissioner's new guidance, as this may become expected practice.
