1. Introduction
The purpose of the Privacy Act is to extend the present laws of Canada that protect the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information about themselves held by a government institution and that provide individuals with a right of access to that information.
This annual report was prepared and submitted in accordance with section 72 of the Privacy Act and covers the period from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
2. Mandate of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI)
Under its legislation, OSFI's mandate is:
Fostering sound risk management and governance practices
OSFI advances a regulatory framework designed to control and manage risk.
Supervision and early intervention
OSFI supervises federally regulated financial institutions and pension plans to determine whether they are in sound financial condition and meeting regulatory and supervisory requirements.
OSFI promptly advises financial institutions and pension plans if there are material deficiencies, and takes corrective measures or requires that they be taken to expeditiously address the situation.
Environmental scanning linked to safety and soundness of financial institutions
OSFI monitors and evaluates system-wide or sectoral developments that may have a negative impact on the financial condition of federally regulated financial institutions.
Taking a balanced approach
OSFI acts to protect the rights and interests of depositors, policyholders, financial institution creditors and pension plan beneficiaries while having due regard for the need to allow financial institutions to compete effectively and take reasonable risks.
OSFI recognizes that management, boards of directors and pension plan administrators are ultimately responsible for risk decisions, that financial institutions can fail, and pension plans can experience financial difficulties resulting in the loss of benefits.
In fulfilling its mandate, OSFI supports the government's objective of contributing to public confidence in the Canadian financial system.
The Office of the Chief Actuary is an independent unit within OSFI that provides a range of actuarial valuation and advisory services to the Government of Canada. In conducting its work, the OCA plays a vital and independent role towards a financially sound and sustainable Canadian public retirement income system.
3. Strategic Outcomes
Primary to OSFI's mandate and central to its contribution to Canada's financial system are two strategic outcomes:
- A safe and sound Canadian financial system
- A financially sound and sustainable Canadian public retirement income system.
For the purposes of the Privacy Act, the head of OSFI is the Superintendent and the responsible minister is the Minister of Finance.
4. Administration of the Privacy Act
4.1 Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Unit
The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Unit is part of the Enterprise Information Management (EIM) directorate within the Information Management/Information Technology (IM/IT) Division. The unit is responsible for administering the Act for the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions. As such, the ATIP unit coordinates the timely processing of requests under the legislation, handles complaints lodged with the Privacy Commissioner, and responds to informal inquiries. The ATIP unit also provides advice and guidance to Office staff on matters involving the Act.
The Manager, Privacy and Access to Information reports to the Director, EIM and is supported by an ATIP Officer and a Junior ATIP Officer. In 2018-2019, due to the increased demand for privacy impact assessments and privacy protocols for the use of personal information for a non-administrative purpose, OSFI created and staffed the Manager, Privacy position. This position is dedicated to overseeing the administration of the Privacy Act, Regulations and related policies as well as providing input and support to IM/IT projects and to ensure EIM considerations (e.g. Privacy, Information lifecycle management) are suitably addressed. Staffing is currently underway to hire a Privacy Officer to support this role. The ATIP unit also relied upon the support of contract resources.
4.2 Institutional changes to the administration of the Privacy Act
No significant institutional changes to the administration of the Privacy Act to report during this reporting period.
4.3 Education and Training
Training efforts over the last year have been focused on continued privacy awareness building with staff in service areas supporting project delivery in Information Management/Information Technology, with Regulatory Data Governance, and within the Office's senior and operational governance committees. Training efforts also focused on ATIP awareness for all OSFI staff as part of an Information Management and ATIP awareness program. OSFI held four awareness sessions and a total of 50 employees attended.
4.4 Processing of Privacy Requests
All formal privacy requests are submitted to the Manager, Privacy and Access to Information, who reviews and assigns them to an ATIP Officer. The Officer requests the information from the head of the division or divisions concerned. In gathering the material and subsequently reviewing it, the ATIP Office provides advice and direction to ensure that the provisions of the Act are respected.
Assembled material is reviewed by the ATIP Officer and the Manager, Privacy and Access to Information. The material and the recommendations pertaining to each request are then submitted to the program area for validation. Once agreed, the release package is submitted to the Assistant Superintendent, Corporate Services for review and approval.
Employees have the right to review their personal records at intervals specified in the various collective agreements. To exercise this right, an employee contacts the appropriate official in the Human Resources and Administration Division. The review of personal records is considered informal and no data on these requests is compiled. The employee, however, does have the option of submitting a formal request under the privacy legislation. Employees of the Human Resources and Administration Division are aware of the provisions of the Privacy Act as they relate to the use and disclosure of personal information.
4.5 Delegation of Authority
Delegation orders set out what powers, duties and functions for the administration of the Privacy Act have been delegated by the head of the institution and to whom. Administration of the Privacy Act at OSFI is the responsibility of the Superintendent. The authority to claim exemptions and to issue various statutory notices has been delegated to the Assistant Superintendent, Corporate Services. The authority to issue various statutory notices has also been delegated to the Director, Enterprise Information Management, the Manager, Privacy and Access to Information and the ATIP Coordinator.
4.6 Monitoring Compliance
The time taken to process personal information requests and requests for the correction of personal information is tracked in the ATIP tracking system. The ATIP caseload is reviewed bi-weekly with the Director, EIM and the anticipated responses to privacy requests are ultimately reviewed and approved by the Assistant Superintendent, Corporate Services. Concerns are raised as appropriate throughout the lifecycle of the request and priority is given to fulfilling OSFI's statutory obligations.
4.7 Summary of significant changes to programs, operations, policies or procedures
There were no significant changes to policies, guidelines, procedures and initiatives related to privacy.
4.8 Reading room
In accordance with the Privacy Act, a public reading room is available in Ottawa. It is located at 255 Albert Street, on the 16th floor.
5. Interpretation of the Statistical Report
Part 1 – Requests under the Privacy Act
Due to the nature of OSFI's work regulating and supervising financial institutions and private pension plans under federal jurisdiction, much of the information in the Office's possession is third-party business information rather than personal information about individuals. The financial institutions and pension plans are OSFI's clients. As OSFI does not provide services directly to individuals, the volume of personal information collected by the Office is relatively small. This information is generally limited to employment records of current and previous OSFI employees and information about individual contract consultants at OSFI.
In 2018-2019, two new requests were received. Since the inception of the Privacy Act, July 1, 1983, OSFI has received 61 privacy requests
