Description

The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was developed as part of the Department’s commitment to protection of personal information. It also meets the Management of Information Technology Security requirements obligating departmental major services to undergo a security and privacy assessment at this point. A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) report was developed for the Facial Recognition Project at the Passport Canada Office of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. The objectives of the PIA were to determine if there were privacy issues or risks associated with the Project, and if so, to provide recommendations on mitigation measures. Although the project has not yet started, this Executive Summary provides some background information on the Facial Recognition Project and the recommendations provided in the completed PIA. Due to substantial changes, the PIA is currently being revised and its Executive Summary will be posted on this website when completed.
