Several customers are said to be affected after a privacy breach involving SGI.

They say the breach came in Vonda - 80 kilometres west of Humboldt - at an independent motor license issuing office.

The employee is said to have been looking up information on customers, including pictures, e-mail and mailing addresses. It was added that no medical information or drivers records were accessed.

Customers affected by the breach are being notified and the privacy commissioner's office has been contacted.

Access to SGI's computer systems has been permanently terminated. Anyone with access to the system must complete privacy training every two years.
