I thought photographs in newspapers could be personal info sometimes?

Court records are public too, so D is also not personal info.

I recall that court records are generally considered public information, so I think that might be the exception here.

I'm really unsure about the photograph in the newspaper. It seems like it could be personal, but if it was taken in public, maybe not?

I practiced a similar question where public information was excluded from personal data. I feel like the salary of a public official might be the right answer here.

I think I remember that personal information under PIPEDA usually includes anything that can identify an individual, but I'm not sure about public records.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The key is understanding that public information like government salaries or court records are not considered personal under PIPEDA. I'll mark my answer confidently.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. PIPEDA is about protecting personal information, so I need to identify which of these examples would not be considered personal information under the law.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know PIPEDA covers personal information, but I'm not totally clear on what counts as an exception. I'll have to think it through carefully.

I've got a strategy - I'll eliminate the options that don't seem to match the definition of a concordant pair, then choose the best remaining answer.

This is a tricky one. The options don't seem to directly match the question, which is asking about the Tier properties chart. I'll need to think through how the utilization pattern on that chart might be described in the options. Maybe option C is the closest fit?
