British Columbia. Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner. (Author).

Summary: "BC's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) sets out the access and privacy rights of individuals as they relate to the public sector. FIPPA establishes an individual's right to access records in the custody or control of a 'PUBLIC BODY', including access to one's own 'PERSONAL INFORMATION'. In addition to establishing an individual's right to access records, FIPPA also sets out the terms under which a public body can collect, use and disclose the personal information of individuals. Public bodies are held accountable for their information practices – FIPPA requires that public bodies protect personal information by making reasonable security arrangements against unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure or disposal. This guide will give you a basic introduction to FIPPA and how it affects individuals in B.C. This guide will also outline the steps necessary when requesting information from a public body, how to make a complaint, and will answer questions relating to how public bodies can store and disclose personal information."--
