Identify the purpose
Know why the information is being collected before or at the time of collection.
Trovi does not use a blanket “compliant” label to replace a real privacy review. The information collected, the purpose, the industry and the deployment all matter.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada identifies accountability, purpose, consent, limiting collection, limiting use and retention, safeguards, openness and access among PIPEDA’s core principles.
Know why the information is being collected before or at the time of collection.
People should understand what is being collected, why it is needed and how it will be used.
Collect only what is needed for the purpose instead of turning every call into a data grab.
Safeguards should reflect the sensitivity of the information and the risks around it.
Canada’s Privacy Commissioner says organizations subject to PIPEDA should inform customers that a call is being recorded, clearly state the purpose and seek consent. The guidance also emphasizes limiting use and retention.
Ontario’s PHIPA framework limits the collection, use and disclosure of personal health information and emphasizes collecting no more than is reasonably necessary. Dental and other healthcare deployments should be reviewed with those obligations in mind.
