You Can't Ask For Two Pieces Of ID When One Is Sufficient The Canadian Privacy Commissioner has held that a bank employee should not have asked for two pieces of identification and further personal information after a client had presented a valid driver's licence. There was sufficient personal information on the driver's licence for the bank's purposes.
Principle 4.3.3 of Schedule 1 of the Act stipulates that an organization shall not, as a condition of the supply of a product or service, require an individual to consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of information beyond that required to fulfil the explicitly specified and legitimate purposes.
The request for further information was in breach of the Act.

Issuing Unrequested Credit Card Violates Privacy Policy The Canadian Privacy Commissioner held that a bank's promotional practice of opening an account and issuing unrequested credit cards to a client were not good privacy practices. These went beyond the purpose of advertising and offering additional products, services and other solicitations that might be of interest to the customer (for which there had been consent).
