Last year, a pilot program was launched by the Catholic Church of Montreal that prohibited church personnel from being alone with children.
 
The project has been expanded to include fingerprinting of priests and church volunteers, a requirement of all churches by 2020. The new rules involve a 10-step screening process intended to provide safety to those involved in vulnerable situations, including children, the sick and the elderly.
 
Mandatory police background checks are included in the new rules for the 194 churches in the diocese.

A second draft bill of Argentina's protection legislation, part an ongoing process to modernize the country's Personal Data Protection 2000, would remove the obligation to register databases with the PDP, and includes provisions to create a national Do Not Call Registry.
 
It also supplements the current list of definitions under the Law to include data controller, data processor, and data breach.
 
The Draft Bill would also require data controllers to apply the principles of Privacy by Design and Privacy by Default, both before and during data processing, and to carry out Privacy Impact Assessments when the processing is likely to cause harm to data subjects.

Although Michele Petry's criminal background is clean, she was denied employment with IDE Management, which claims her background report revealed multiple felonies.

Petry filed a class action lawsuit against the company in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Evansville Division. The company, which does business as Cathedral Health Care Centers, denied her employment without giving her a proper chance to correct those results, violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

Petry's claim states that IDE negligently and willfully violated the FCRA when it failed to provide a copy of the report and a description in writing of her rights.
