FIPPA = Freedom of Information and Privacy Protection Act of BC -frames the conditions under which a ‘Public Body” can collect, use and discloses personal information
Why now?
“Increasing use of social media and cloud computing involves potential sharing of personally identifiable information; as stewards of our public education system, we are responsible to know the opportunities and limitations of use, and for ensuring informed consent from parents/guardians and students, where applicable.
FIPPA impacts our responsibility to safeguard personally identifiable information for students and employees.
Social media application and cloud computing are OKAY, providing these safeguards are in place.”
