What are my information and privacy rights under
FIPPA?
Under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA), you have the right to:
- request access to records held by public bodies;
- request the correction of your personal information,
including your own personal information in records held by public bodies;
- ensure that your personal information is collected, used, disclosed and kept secure by public bodies according to specific standards that protect the privacy of your personal information; and
- ask the OIPC to review or investigate decisions by public bodies about privacy or access to records.
FIPPA does not, however, replace other routine ways to get access to records or information of interest to you. The purpose of FOIPPA is to ensure that there is an official process for requesting records in cases where it is not clear that you should have routine access to them.
