Under PIPEDA, each of the following are considered to be personal information EXCEPT?
A.
A public official's salary published on a government web site.
B.
A person's telephone number published in a public directory.
C.
A photograph taken in public and published in a newspaper.
D.
Information about a defendant contained in court records.
The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), personal information is defined as information about an identifiable individual. However, information that is publicly available, such as a public official's salary listed on a government website, is excluded from protection under PIPEDA's regulations specifying what constitutes publicly available information. The salaries of public officials, as government transparency measures, are specifically designated as public information. In contrast, the other options listed—telephone numbers in a public directory, photographs taken in public, and court records—although they might seem public, are not explicitly designated as exempt from PIPEDA in the same way, and could still be considered personal information depending on the context.
