Information, Identify Theft and Law

Driver’s license information, SIN number, credit cards, medical records, banking information, passport … There’s a whole identity out there made up of information about you, much of it stored in electronic databases. If that identity is stolen, or your information gets into the wrong hands some other way, or the information is wrong, the results can be serious. This presentation provides a general overview of legal issues related to your information identity. Questions for discussion include:

· Do you have to give your personal information, and if so when and to whom

· What can you do: if information is wrong; if somebody gives out information about you when they shouldn’t; if somebody steals your information

· Does it make a difference if your information is collected or stored somewhere outside Alberta or Canada?

Date:    Wed Feb 8         Time:   6:30 pm - 8:30 pm       Pre-Registration: $20 by Feb 1          Fee: $30             Location: VC Room
