Summary

On March 11, 2003, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner/Ontario (the IPC) received an e-mail message from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) regarding a possible privacy breach relating to correspondence that had been generated by the WSIB in December 2001. It explained that a claimant of the WSIB sent an e-mail to them in March 2003 advising that system generated forms relating to two other claimants were attached to his correspondence.

On the basis of this information from the WSIB, the IPC initiated a privacy complaint under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act).
