PRESTO Privacy Review

Change #1: PRESTO's Privacy Policy

Currently

When you register for PRESTO we tell you why we are collecting your personal information, as required by FIPPA.  We also direct you to PRESTO’s Privacy Policy.

Currently PRESTO’s Privacy Policy states:

…PRESTO may disclose your personal information to third parties without your further consent in circumstances where:…c. it is required or permitted by law or pursuant to a court order…

What we propose

Metrolinx will clarify PRESTO’s Privacy Policy to specifically note:

Under FIPPA, Metrolinx may share personal information on request by law enforcement. In some cases, we may share information without requiring a warrant or court order. These cases include:

1. where there are immediate concerns about an individual’s health or safety, such as a lost or missing person;
2. in an emergency, to facilitate contact with a spouse or relative, such as where a person has been injured or is ill;
3. where we are investigating a safety or security incident, such as theft, vandalism or an assault, a breach of our rules or regulations, or for the prevention or detection of crime, on or in relation to Metrolinx’s property or services; and
4. in other cases, where we are satisfied it will aid in an investigation from which a law enforcement proceeding may be undertaken or is likely to result.
