Canada: Commission of Access to Information issued guidance on data protection in Scribd

On 16 October 2025, the Commission of Access to Information issued guidance to businesses and public organisations on the Scribd platform, a global digital library hosting over 200 million user-uploaded documents. The Commission advised that uploading personal or sensitive information on the platform may pose privacy risks, as Scribd is not a personal cloud service and content is public unless privacy settings are applied.
