This breach involved MCP numbers, social insurance numbers, health details, and other sensitive information about current and former students and teachers in this Province going back a number of years.
The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner is starting an investigation into the PowerSchool breach, which impacted thousands of current and former students and teachers in this Province. On February 11th, the Federal Privacy Commissioner announced that PowerSchool was the subject of an investigation, which will be done by Commissioner Kerry Hatfield. She says “This breach involved MCP numbers, social insurance numbers, health details, and other sensitive information about current and former students and teachers in this Province going back a number of years. Before launching this investigation she felt it was appropriate to give the Department sufficient time to assess the impact of the breach, notify those who were impacted, and take steps to adjust its policies and practices. It has now had ample opportunity to do so.”
Hatfield says, “a public body shouldn’t collect more personal information than necessary, that it will take reasonable steps to protect the information it holds, and that it will retain that information for only as long as needed and then securely destroy it.”
