Licensees are prohibited from the following acts:

  1. Following someone without their consent for the purpose of gathering information

  2. Forcibly removing an unwanted patron from a night club

  3. Assisting an owner of an apartment by reporting a tenant’s activities

  4. Providing information about a person in a witness protection program

The correct answer is: Providing information about a person in a witness protection program

The correct answer is "Providing information about a person in a witness protection program". A licensee means a private security guard issued with a license to operate by the Ontario Security Guard License authority. Respecting privacy and confidentiality is one of the prime dictates of the Ontario Private Security and Investigative Services Act. This Act has strict rules to safeguard personal information, especially of individuals who are protected by the Witness Protection Program. Those who are in the witness protection program are at high risk and giving out their information endangers their safety. This is why divulging any information related to such persons is strictly prohibited. If a person in a witness protection program were to have their safety jeopardized because of a leak of information, it could discourage others from participating in similar programs in the future, effectively undermining the justice system.
