Canadian Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart has informed Google that it's Street View technology that presents photographic street level images of cities, ironically created by Calgary based Immersive Media, may not comply with Canadian privacy legislation. In a letter written to Google Stoddart says "In particular, it does not appear to meet the basic requirements of knowledge, consent, and limited collection and use as set out in the legislation." Google is apparently considering blurring images of people and license plates in an attempt to comply. While the service has not yet deployed any Canadian data this CBC report indicates that Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City have all been surveyed.
