We explicitly recommended that the term “profiling” be included in the definitions. When organizations use an algorithm, when they infer things from your personal information and, then, use that to build profiles, there are consequences, and they need to be taken into account and regulated. Both Quebec's law and the European regulation refer to the term “profiling”. My office recommended it be explicitly included in Bill C-27.
