Privacy laws extend protection to private sector in BC
Victoria reports that the Personal Information Protection Act PM 2004 extends privacy rights to private sector, including businesses and unions. It lets individuals access their data held by private and non profit groups, while the commissioner can monitor compliance, educate the public, hear complaints, and issue orders with fines up to 100000 dollars. Guidance is available on the OIPC BC site.
