FIPPA, Privacy, and Consent Resources<\/h2>\n

It is second nature to most to take selfies, share them on Instagram, Snapchat, etc., but once you move into the role of a public body employee (e.g., in health, education, etc.), you must adhere to the laws set out by the B.C. Office of Information and Privacy Commissioner<\/a>. Their office has put together guidelines for both public bodies and private bodies. The guidelines for public bodies to better understand what the rules are is linked below and how to get consent is detailed on page 4:<\/p>\n

BC Cloud Computing Guidelines<\/a>\u00a0(PDF)<\/p>\n

and you can review the\u00a0Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each public body will have their own process (which may range from not allowing\u00a0 tools to pressure to integrate networked learning tools from outside of Canada), so it is important to understand your own setting and the law. You may find some administrators or staff breaking these rules or not aware of them. It is important for you to enter your field and uphold the law, regardless of the culture you enter. This does not mean that you do not engage online or outside of Canada. It means that if\/when you do so, that you understand the steps, which are not much more complex than the consent you would get normally for going \u201con the Internet,\u201d as is described in most settings, but you must name the date consent is effective and, if applicable, the date it expires. It is important that you work with your school district on the consent process. You can see an example of how school district are addressing access to cloud tools outside of Canada here<\/a>\u00a0(Coquitlam) and\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0plus\u00a0here<\/a> (Victoria). You must also name each tool individually. It cannot be \u201cblogging.\u201d You must name WordPress.com or Blogger, etc. If you use Flipgrid, you must name Flipgrid. Consent must also be informed, so effort must be taken to ensure that those signing consent understand the implications – that their data may leave Canada, how it may be harvested, and to know about the U.S. Patriot Act. One archived resource by the Canadian Treasury Board provides significant detailed information about the Patriot Act here<\/a>. It is helpful to also review section 4(b) of the B.C. Digital Literacy Framework<\/a> which is applicable K12 contexts but helpful for others.<\/p>\n
