Notice of indirect collection (6) If the regulations referred to in subsection (4) provide for the collection of personal information in a manner other than directly from the individual to whom the information relates, the SIU Director shall, before collecting personal information in such a manner, ensure that notice of the collection is published on the website of the Special Investigations Unit containing, (a)  a statement that the collection is authorized under subsection (1) and setting out the purposes of the collection; (b)  the personal information and circumstances specified by the regulations referred to in subsection (4) for the purposes of the collection; and (c)  the title and contact information, including an email address, of an employee in the Special Investigations Unit who can answer an individual’s questions about the collection. De-identification (7) The SIU Director shall immediately de-identify, in the prescribed manner, personal information collected under this section. Limits on use (8) The SIU Director shall not use personal information collected under this section unless it has been de-identified under subsection (7), and may only use de-identified personal information for the purposes of clause 5 (6) (c). Limit on access (9) The SIU Director shall limit access to the personal information collected under this section to employees in the Special Investigations Unit and investigators, for the purposes of, (a)  de-identifying the personal information under subsection (7); or (b)  disclosing personal information under subsection (10). Limits on disclosure (10) The SIU Director, an employee in the Special Investigations Unit or an investigator may disclose personal information collected under this section only if, (a)  the individual to whom the information relates has identified that information in particular and consented to its disclosure; (b)  the disclosure is required by law, including as required under section 31 of the Human Rights Code; (c)  subject to subsection (11), the disclosure is for the purpose of a proceeding or contemplated proceeding, the information relates to or is a matter in issue in the proceeding or contemplated proceeding, and, (i)  the SIU Director is, or is expected to be, a party, or (ii)  any of the following is, or is expected to be, a witness: (A)  a current or former employee in the Special Investigations Unit, (B)  a current or former investigator, or (C)  a former employee in or investigator with the special investigations unit, before its continuance under this Act; or (d)  the disclosure is to the Information and Privacy Commissioner.

Other Acts (12) In the event of a conflict, this section prevails over sections 38, 39, 41, 42 and 43 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, but the authority to collect, use and disclose personal information under this section is subject to any limits on collection, use or disclosure under any other law. Rights of access and correction (13) Nothing in this section limits the right of an individual under any Act to access and correct personal information about the individual. Non-application (14) For greater certainty, this section does not apply with respect to personal information lawfully collected by the SIU Director for a purpose other than for the purposes of clause 5 (6) (c).
