Integrating a Privacy-First Mindset into Your Work

Description

Emerging technologies have brought government services online and facilitated the collection and use of data. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this even more, bringing both benefits and risks for privacy. How do we ensure we collect only the personal data needed to make decisions and deliver services? How do we identify and mitigate the privacy risks that government programs and activities pose to individuals?

As part of Privacy Awareness Week, join Nicole Frantz and Lacey Batalov from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada to better understand why assessing potential privacy risks is more important than ever, and how you can integrate a privacy-first mindset into your work. Learn what a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is and how it can help institutions ensure that legal requirements are met and privacy impacts are addressed or minimized.
