Workplace Privacy

The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Municipal Freedom of Information and Privacy Act regulate the collection, use and disclosure of information in the Ontario public sector. Obligations for federally regulated employers in the private sector are set out in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. Provincial legislation for the private sector is expected soon in Ontario.
        

Workplace privacy continues to emerge as an area of concern for Canadian employers. As frequent writers and commentators on new and expected legislation, Stringer Brisbin Humphrey lawyers are at the forefront of new developments. We keep our clients informed and up-to-date. 

Our lawyers assist employers in developing policies, practices and procedures that meet legislative requirements.  We also assist clients who must respond to requests for information.
