Access to Statistics Canada's Microdata in Authorized Workspaces - Privacy impact assessment summary

Introduction

Statistics Canada is expanding its data access model to facilitate secure access to protected data, in accordance with the Statistics Act. This is an extension of the pilot project that was conducted with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation from July 2019 to March 2020.

Objective

A privacy impact assessment for Access to Statistics Canada's Microdata in Authorized Workspaces was conducted to determine if there were any privacy, confidentiality or security issues with this activity and, if so, to make recommendations for their resolution or mitigation.

Description

Statistics Canada's expanded model will provide approved researchers (Deemed Employees) with secure access to anonymized data in an "Authorized Workspace", as defined below:

Authorized Workspace: workspace approved by Statistics Canada and specified in a data access agreement. It may include a closed office, closed conference room or meeting room, open workspace within the premises of an organization, or a private space within a Deemed Employee's personal residence.^{Footnote 1}

Only anonymized data (i.e., direct personal identifiers removed) with lower level of sensitivity and lower risk of re-identification will be accessible via an Authorized Workspace. At all times, the data reside on Government of Canada approved IT infrastructure.

Statistics Canada will continue to evaluate this access modality for its security, privacy, and user-centric improvements to data access. If any incidents related to violations of security protocols arise, Statistics Canada will analyze the contributing factors and implement additional mitigation factors, where deemed necessary.

Risk Area Identification and Categorization

The PIA identifies the level of potential risk (level 1 is the lowest level of potential risk and level 4 is the highest) associated with the following risk areas:

level of potential risk (level 1 is the lowest level of potential risk and level 4 is the highest) associated with the following risk areas
	Risk scale
a) Type of program or activity Program or activity that does not involve a decision about an identifiable individual.	1
b) Type of personal information involved and context Only Statistics Canada Anonymized Data are accessed and used by Deemed Employees. All personal identifiers have been removed from the datasets and there is low risk of re-identification.	N/A
c) Program or activity partners and private sector involvement Private sector organizations, international organizations or foreign governments	4
d) Duration of the program or activity Long-term program or activity.	3
e) Program population The program's use of personal information is not for administrative purposes. Information is collected for statistical purposes, under the authority of the Statistics Act.	N/A
f) Personal information transmission Only Statistics Canada Anonymized Data are accessed and used by Deemed Employees. All personal identifiers have been removed from the datasets and there is low risk of re-identification.	N/A
g) Technology and privacy The initiative does not involve the implementation of a new electronic system, the use of a new application or software, or any modifications to information technology (IT) legacy systems.	N/A
h) Potential risk that in the event of a privacy breach, there will be an impact on the individual or employee. There is a very low risk of a breach of personal information since all data are anonymized and de-identified. The impact on the individual would be minimal as the information is not linked to an individual's name, address or any other personal identifiers.	N/A

Conclusion

This assessment of the Access to Statistics Canada’s Microdata in Authorized Workspaces did not identify any privacy risks that cannot be managed using existing safeguards.

Definitions

Post-secondary institution:

An educational institution that is attended after obtaining a high school diploma or equivalent.

Hospital:

A healthcare institution providing medical and surgical treatment and nursing care for sick or injured people.

Why have you been selected?

You have been selected because Statistics Canada uses a statistical method called sampling. It is an established way to determine characteristics of an entire population by surveying only part of the population.

Hospitals: Few hospitals are present in Canada and we need information from all of them to be able to produce accurate statistics on their energy use at the provincial/territorial level.

Post-secondary institutions: 98% of the post-secondary institutions in Canada were selected as part of a random sample to represent the population of post-secondary institutions.

It is important that all institutions answer to be able to produce accurate statistics on their energy use at the provincial/territorial level.

Who should complete this questionnaire?

This questionnaire should be completed by the person most knowledgeable about the energy consumption and usage of this post-secondary institution or hospital.

i.e., someone who has access to energy bills and knowledge about the structure and details of this institution (e.g., property manager, building manager, facilities and operations manager, building owner).

How do we protect your information?

Statistics Canada is committed to respecting the privacy of consultation participants. All personal information created, held or collected by the agency is protected in accordance with the Privacy Act.

Deadline for completing this questionnaire

Please complete this questionnaire and submit it within 14 days of receipt.

Printing your completed questionnaire

You can print this questionnaire once you have completed and submitted it.
