Disclosures in response to an official request

Under FIPPA, in certain circumstances, Metrolinx may share personal information of its Metrolinx customers in response to a reasonable request from a police officer, special constable, or transit safety officer (“officers”). In such circumstances, Metrolinx may choose to share information without requiring a warrant or court order. These circumstances include:

where there are immediate and compelling concerns about an individual’s health or safety, such as a lost or missing person, and there appears to be no other way for the official to obtain the requested information in a timely manner;
in an emergency, to facilitate contact with a spouse or relative, such as where a person has been injured or is ill, and where the delay in providing the information could be harmful to someone’s health or safety; or
where a Metrolinx transit operator is investigating a safety or security incident, such as theft, vandalism, assault or other offence , on or in relation to the transit operator’s property or services.

Disclosures at Metrolinx’s own initiative

At its own initiative, Metrolinx may share personal information with a police officer, special constable, or transit safety officer where Metrolinx has a reasonable basis to believe that an offence has occurred on its property. In such cases, Metrolinx will limit the amount of information it discloses to what is relevant and necessary relating to the specific offence.

Disclosures in response to a court order or other legal requirement

In other circumstances, Metrolinx will generally require a court order such as a warrant or production order. This would include circumstances where:

the incident giving rise to the request is not related to Metrolinx’s property or services;
the request relates to information for multiple cards or accounts;
the request relates to information over several weeks or more; or
the request relates to financial information.
In addition, Metrolinx may be expressly required to disclose personal information pursuant to a federal or provincial law.

All such requests will be reviewed by Metrolinx’s Privacy Office. Metrolinx will also notify individuals that there information has been disclosed in cases relating to their individual health or safety, such as a lost or missing person request. In all other cases, Metrolinx will notify individuals that their information has been disclosed where law enforcement has authorized us to do so.
