H1N1 and Privacy

The offices of three Canadian privacy commissioners have produced “Privacy in the time of a Pandemic: Guidance for Organizations.” The report addresses questions of privacy in developing a business continuity plan, employee relations and a public health emergency. For example:
  • Can I survey employees to find out if they may be absent from work?
  • Can managers ask for employees’ personal phone numbers in order to keep in touch with them?
  • Can I ask my employees or their families if they have been vaccinated?
“Privacy in the Time of a Pandemic: Guidance for Organizations” is available here http://www.oipc.ab.ca/Downloads/documentloader.ashx?id=2492.
