Investigation Report: FIPPA Unauthorized Disclosure – Educational body

2020-06-15

Summary

Educational body. Provisions: 42(1), 42(3). The complainant made similar requests for access to information under FIPPA to a number of different educational bodies. A request to one educational body was later withdrawn. Subsequently, the complainant was contacted by a different educational body about the withdrawal, leading the complainant to believe that the public body had made an unauthorized disclosure of the complainant’s personal information. Our investigation concluded that the public body had inadvertently disclosed personal information about the complainant; therefore, the complaint was supported.
