A prosecution resulted in a guilty plea by one employee and the acquittal of the other.

The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, Michael Harvey, has released his report dealing with a complaint about the RNC.  Two Complainants alleged that an employee of the RNC had improperly accessed their personal information. An internal audit confirmed that two RNC employees had accessed the two Complainants’ personal information and that the access was contrary to RNC policy and operational purposes. The RNC took disciplinary measures against the two employees, which were upheld at arbitration. In response to the complaints, the commissioner undertook a privacy investigation. A prosecution resulted in a guilty plea by one employee and the acquittal of the other. The Commissioner recommended that the RNC continue efforts to improve its culture of privacy, expand training, and implement upgrades to its system to assist with auditing and monitoring access.
