Privacy
More and more we all live and work in a privacy culture. Employment related privacy concerns have attracted the attention of both the media and the federal and provincial Privacy Commissioners. Employees are well informed about their privacy rights, and employers must consider employee privacy when developing policies and procedures that impact employees and even candidates for employment.
Employers often find themselves subject to multiple pieces of privacy legislation in both the federal and provincial regimes, we can help navigate employers through all of the applicable legislation in order to:
- Ensure compliance with federal and provincial privacy legislation
- Prepare appeals to the federal and provincial Privacy Commissioners
- Advise on employee personal information policies and protection
- Address the scope of employee consent for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information
- Manage access to employee information requests
- Draft confidentiality and third-party access agreements
- Provide advice on outsourcing data storage and management
- Develop information and record management policies, including social media use policies
