So as Staples is an American company, does this put Canadians’ personal information under the jurisdiction of the PATRIOT act?

Unlikely. Since Service Ontario deals with health data, it’ll likely be attached to a government system and data centres. Staples wouldn’t touch this deal if they were responsible for the IT due to the liability.

It’s likely only a real estate and staffing agreement.
