The privacy commissioners of Canada and British Columbia have launched an investigation into a Victoria-based company that performs background checks on tenants and others.
They say in a joint statement that Certn is being assessed to make sure it complies with the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and B.C.’s Personal Information Protection Act.
The commissioners say they will investigate whether “consent provisions” in both laws are being followed, and whether the data it collects is being used appropriately.
