Introduction

Statistics Canada is modernizing its methods of data access to improve its service to users of Statistics Canada data. The goal of modernization is to fully realize the potential of the data holdings created for the public good and increase collaboration and partnerships between data users and providers while ensuring that all data assets are protected against unauthorized use and disclosure.

Objective

This privacy impact assessment identifies and explores privacy, confidentiality and security issues associated with the use of video surveillance monitoring (camera monitoring) in secure facilities designed for the purposes of data access and makes recommendations for issue resolution or mitigation.

Description

Statistics Canada is planning on expanding controlled access to anonymized microdata for statistical research projects, by establishing Secure Access Points on the premises of federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments, universities, and other organizations. Each Secure Access Point is a secure Statistics Canada facility that meets Statistics Canada's departmental security standards for data access, including controlled access monitoring. Any data stored on these premises remain under the care and control of Statistics Canada and subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act.

In each Secure Access Point, video surveillance cameras will be used to monitor activity and access. Only Statistics Canada employees and deemed employees (individuals providing statistical services to Statistics Canada under contract or written arrangement) will have access to the microdata within Secure Access Points.

Statistics Canada's use of the camera monitoring includes making recordings of activities in the secure designated room to offer enhanced protection of employees and assets.

Risk Area Identification and Categorization

The PIA also identifies the risk areas and categorizes the level of potential risk (level 1 representing the lowest level of potential risk and level 4, the highest) associated with the collection and use of personal information of employees.

• Type of program or activity – Level 2: Administration of program or activity and services.
• Type of personal information involved and context – Level 1: Only personal information, with no contextual sensitivities, collected directly from the individual or provided with the consent of the individual for disclosure under an authorized program.
• Program or activity partners and private sector involvement – Level 3: With other institutions or a combination of federal, provincial or territorial, and municipal governments.
• Duration of the program or activity – Level 3: Long-term (ongoing) program.
• Program population – Level 1: The program's use of personal information for internal administrative purposes affects certain employees (or deemed employees).
• Personal information transmission – Level 3: The personal information is transferred to a portable device (i.e., USB key, diskette, laptop computer), transferred to a different medium or is printed.
• Technology and privacy: The new project involves the implementation of a new electronic system to support the program but does not involve the implementation of new technologies.
• Privacy breach: There is a very low risk of a breach of some of the personal information being disclosed:
  a) The impact on the employee would be minimal as it would only divulge a digital recording of the individual taken in the Secure Access Point.
  b) The impact on the institution would be minimal due to the low sensitivity of the information.

Conclusion

This assessment concludes that, with the existing Statistics Canada safeguards, any remaining risks are either negligible or are such that Statistics Canada is prepared to accept and manage the risk.

Definitions

Legal Name

The legal name is one recognized by law, thus it is the name liable for pursuit or for debts incurred by the business or organization. In the case of a corporation, it is the legal name as fixed by its charter or the statute by which the corporation was created.

Modifications to the legal name should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.

To indicate a legal name of another legal entity you should instead indicate it in question 3 by selecting 'Not currently operational' and then choosing the applicable reason and providing the legal name of this other entity along with any other requested information.

Operating Name

The operating name is a name the business or organization is commonly known as if different from its legal name. The operating name is synonymous with trade name.

Current main activity of the business or organization

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational unit(s) targeted by this questionnaire only, and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Note: Press the help button (?) for additional information, including a detailed description of this activity complete with example activities and any applicable exclusions.

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.
