Principle 2: Identifying Purposes for Which Personal Information is Being Collected


At or before the time the information is collected, Baycrest identifies to the individual from whom it collects personal information (and explain as necessary) the purposes for the collection. This allows Baycrest to determine the information it needs to collect to fulfill these purposes.

Baycrest collects personal information for purposes related to client care, administration and management of the health care system, administration and management of Baycrest's programs and services, research, teaching, statistics, fundraising, and in order to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

When personal information that has been collected is to be used for a purpose not previously identified, the new purpose will be identified. Unless the new purpose is permitted or required by law, consent is required before the information can be used for that purpose.
