Are there any fundamental principles about privacy that I should know about?
![]() The CSA is a not-for-profit membership association serving industry, government, consumers and other interested parties in Canada and the global marketplace. It is a leading developer of standards and codes. There are 10 universal privacy principles. These principles were developed by business, consumers, academics and government and are part of the Canadian Standards Association's Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information. The 10 principles are derived, in part, from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development privacy recommendations. The principles form the ground rules for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in both the public and private sector. These principles are: 1. Accountability:
2. Identifying Purpose:
3. Consent:
4. Limiting Collection:
5. Limiting Use, Disclosure, Retention:
6. Accuracy:
7. Safeguards:
8. Openness:
9. Individual Access:
10. Challenging Compliance:

To protect that right, every unjustifiable intrusion by the government upon the privacy of the individual, whatever the means employed, must be deemed a violation of the Fourth Amendment." Source |
