Defining personal information
Personal information is any information that can be used to distinguish, identify or contact a specific individual.

Where The Arts Firm Inc.’s customers and clients use their home contact information as business contact information, The Arts Firm considers that the contact information provided is business contact information, and is not therefore subject to protection as personal information.
