The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario received a complaint alleging that the Township of McGarry (the Township) contravened the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) when it disclosed a resident’s personal information to a third-party who in turn contacted the resident to advertise their services. The Privacy Complaint Report concludes that the Township’s use and disclosure of the personal information was not in accordance with sections 31 and 32 of the Act.
