The CCF is intervening in a Supreme Court of Canada case to defend Canadians’ privacy rights when personal information is stored on employees’ workplace devices and systems.
In Binance Holdings Limited v. Ontario Securities Commission, the Ontario Securities Commission demanded access to devices and data belonging to Binance Holdings Ltd employees and other personnel, including personal messages, emails and photos. Binance challenged the demand as overly broad, but the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the information constituted business records.
The CCF will argue that section 8 of the Charter requires regulators to limit demands to protect personal information, give individuals a reasonable opportunity to challenge those demands, and prevent fishing expeditions that amount to unreasonable searches.
