Question: A security guard is asked by a former employee to provide their attendance records from six months ago. Under PIPEDA, what is the security company's obligation regarding this request?

Answer options: ✅ Provide the records to the former employee upon identity verification, unless there's a legal reason not to.

  • Deny the request entirely as the individual is no longer an employee.
  • Charge a mandatory fee for accessing the requested information.
  • Forward the request to the current employer for approval.

Correct answer: Provide the records to the former employee upon identity verification, unless there's a legal reason not to.

Explanation: PIPEDA Principle 9 (Individual Access) grants individuals the right to be informed of the existence, use, and disclosure of their personal information and to be given access to that information. Upon request and proper identity verification, organizations must provide access to an individual's personal information, subject to limited exceptions, such as information protected by solicitor-client privilege.
