This is your Access and Privacy News Summary for Saturday, July 5th.
While there are national holidays in Canada and south of the border this past week, there are still lots to consider in the news.
We’ll start with a few Canadian stories intersecting privacy, including an Ontario data breach, the Government of the Northwest Territories making changes that impact privacy in missing persons cases, and a BC case that intersects reasonable expectations of privacy in the workplace.
We’ll have our scan of Canadian stories that intersect, or were informed by access to information, and we will then shift south of the border with more government chaos and legal battles.
This week, we’ll wrap with a look at troubling privacy and access stories across the globe that include hiding official information, criminals targeting personal data, and actions that target religious groups at risk.
