Plus le degré d’attente raisonnable en matière de vie privée augmente face à un renseignement, plus la sensibilité de celui-ci est importante et plus les mesures de protection doivent être élevées. Les trois sphères principales contenant des renseignements sensibles sont celles concernant l’aspect médical, financier ou biométrique.
Les mesures de sécurité appliquées sont proportionnées à la sensibilité des renseignements personnels à protéger.
Certains renseignements ne sont pas considérés comme étant des renseignements personnels, tels que ceux concernant vos fonctions professionnelles ou d’affaires et ceux étant dotés d’un caractère public en vertu d’une loi.
