The complainant, whose residence is adjacent to the Monsignor Fraser College (the School) in Toronto, expressed concern with the use of video surveillance at the School, which is operated by the Toronto Catholic District School Board (the Board). The Information and Privacy Commissioner/Ontario (the IPC) finds that the Board’s collection of the personal information within the School property is in accordance with section 28(2) of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act). However, the collection of personal information from outside the School’s property is not in accordance with section 28(2) of the Act.
This Report also considers whether the Board’s use, disclosure, retention and security of personal information are in compliance with the Act.
The IPC makes recommendations regarding the collection of personal information from outside the School’s property and revision of the Board’s notice and policy on video surveillance.
