The federal privacy watchdog has found Staples Canada did not fully remove personal information from returned laptops that it later resold.
The Privacy Commissioner of Canada says its staff recently analyzed laptops returned by customers to four Ontario Staples stores and found 23 percent of the devices had personal information including names, email addresses, account info, email fragments and partial images of faces.
