Review of CSIS's use of a geolocation data collection tool.: PS109-2/2018-05E-PDF

"In its review function, NSIRA expects CSIS's activities to be lawful and comply with ministerial direction. This review focused on CSIS's non-warranted collection of geolocation information and is part of NSIRA's ongoing interest in CSIS's collection and exploitation of both warranted and unwarranted data. Past reviews have assessed CSIS's warranted collection and retention of metadata and CSIS's unwarranted collection and exploitation of bulk personal datasets. This is NSIRA's first dedicated look at CSIS's collection of geolocation data. … The objective of this review is to assess whether CSIS's collection of unwarranted geolocation information used by CSIS in support of its operations is compliant with applicable sources of law, including the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter) and the CSIS Act, as well as ministerial direction and operational policy. A related objective is to determine whether CSIS has sufficient safeguards in the form of formal procedures and policies to ensure that it is able to comply with its legal obligations amid a period of rapid change in technology and a correspondingly fluid legal environment"--Pages 3-4.
