Can a non-profit organization post names of its members on its website?
If the collection of the members’ names was not part of a commercial activity, then PIPA does not apply. The organization can decide whether or not to publish members’ names according to its own policies. • Our organization trades membership lists with organizations with similar interests in Alberta. The information is used to promote conferences and other events that may be of interest to our members. Can we still do this? Bartering a membership list is a commercial activity. The disclosure by the Alberta organization would be subject to the Act. Consent would be needed to exchange members’ personal information in this way.
