Middlesex-London Health Unit

The papers and two computer hard drives containing personal information and personal health information were left behind at the Middlesex-London Health Unit's (MLHU) former offices on King Street earlier this year, resulting in a privacy violation.

It took place in the spring when it was being moved to a new location inside Citi Plaza. Employees of Middlesex County found the laptops and papers in a vault on April 23.

The objects in question were unintentionally left behind, according to the results of an internal investigation by the MLHU.

The MLHU claims it is satisfied that no information was viewed by Middlesex County employees or anyone else, and that the containment measures implemented to stop the breach prevented any unauthorised use of the data.
