Consistent purpose is one that has a direct and reasonable connection to the original purpose and that is necessary for performing the statutory duties of, or for operating a legally authorized program of, the local authority that uses the personal information.436 A purpose is consistent and compatible where an individual might reasonably have expected the use of the personal information at the time of collection.437 Consistent use is a use of personal information that has a reasonable and direct connection to the specific reason for which it was collected or created in the first place. This means that the original use and the proposed use are so closely related that an individual would expect that the information would also be used for the second purpose (consistent purpose), even if the use is not spelled out.438 433 British Columbia Government Services, FOIPPA Policy Definitions at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/services-for-government/policiesprocedures/foippa-manual/policy-definitions.
