With the growing trend of inexpensive home security
cameras such as Google Nest and Amazon Ring how do boards balance
the security rights of the individual unit owner with the privacy
rights of their neighbours? What are some reasonable restrictions
that we could consider implementing on behalf of the
corporation?
Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act SA 2003, c.
P-6.5 places a positive duty on condominium corporations to protect
the personal information of residents that it collects.
Accordingly, a host of rules apply to condominium corporations when
they install surveillance cameras, such as providing notice. But
this legislation, and the corresponding duties it imposes, do not
apply to individuals.
