Privacy Impact Assessments
Many federal institutions and agencies are implementing electronic methods to deliver services to Canadians. To ensure that such initiatives comply with privacy requirements, institutions are required to conduct Privacy Impact Assessments in order to identify and evaluate any risks to the personal information at issue. The assessments assist managers and decision-makers to avoid or mitigate privacy risks and to promote fully informed policy, program and system design choices.
Once a Privacy Impact Assessment has been done, institutions are required to produce a summary of the results of the Assessment. It must be made available to the public in a timely manner, in plain language, and in both official languages.
