Spy watchdog flags privacy risk from military's online intelligence activities
NSIRA said military officers used informal collection methods and third-party data providers, raising legal risks and leaving no official records for some operations.
- Canada’s National Security and Intelligence Review Agency found that the Defence Department and Canadian Armed Forces may legally collect publicly available online information for intelligence purposes.
- The agency said military policies do not sufficiently address privacy risks associated with online intelligence searches and the analysis of information about Canadians.
- The review found that the military does not systematically link online collection activities to approved operations or defence activities.
- The agency said military policies and records do not adequately show that collecting information involving Canadians is necessary or protect their privacy.
