Political movement Volt has announced it will file a complaint with the Data Protection Commissioner over privacy concerns regarding the Ministry of Justice’s traffic camera fine payment system operated by Conduent Inc.
The movement said that while strengthening road safety measures is important, it should not come at the cost of exposing citizens’ personal data to potential risks.
