Our security system is managed by the EC – the strata managers have no involvement. It’s a computerised swipe card/fob system. It’s become clear that an EC member is using the mainframe to monitor people’s movements in and out of the building. Is this a privacy issue? Why would he want/need to do that? It’s strange/disconcerting to say the least. Thanks for your input …

Oh yuk no, that is awful. They shouldn’t be doing that. The EC member needs to be told in no uncertain terms that that is inappropriate and they mustn’t do it.
Has anyone asked the person why they are doing it, and how did you find out?
I don’t know what your rules are about use of swipe cards etc., and I am not an expert on privacy, but just a couple of observations.
– if the EC is managing the security system and has access to the system and information re use of swipe cards, then the EC should have in place clear guidelines regarding EC members’ use of the system and the information.
– you say that the EC member issued a notice to comply, a notice to comply with what, do you mean a by-law relating to the use of swipe cards? Do you have a by-law that says that only owners can use them?
– a single EC member can’t issue a notice to comply, a notice to comply can only be issued by resolution of the EC. That is, you would have to have a meeting where facts were presented, the EC considered those facts, and then determined whether they believed a by-law had been breached.
From what you have said it sounds like the EC member unilaterally issued a notice to comply. That wouldn’t have any force, and that EC member should be told to pull their head in.
