Hi, Just reminder about Privacy Laws during this time and what has now been passed: https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2020CITZ0005-000588
When using Facetime, Zoom, non government Skype and such other technology; remember to have permission from the individual first. And if you are using technology for a meeting with staff do not record the meeting, do not use first and last names, SIN, DOB, addresses. Be mindful that all of these platforms collect people’s information. This includes your IP address, email, network provider, location as well as any aspect of the call.
