We are a church in Canada, does the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act affect us?
I understand the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act states personal information can not be housed on servers outside of Canada. Does this affect us as KidCheck servers are in the United States? No, per the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, Part V, 65.5.3 “This act does not apply to the ecclesiastical records of a church or religious organization that is affiliated with an educational institution or a hospital.”
