Responding to Access Requests

Government institutions are required to provide individuals with a right of access to certain general records and to their own personal information, with limited exceptions. Health information custodians are required to provide access to or correction of personal health information. Children’s aid societies and other child and family service providers are required to provide access or corrections to personal information with limited exceptions.

The laws also provide individuals with a right to request correction of their own personal information that they have received through a request. Individuals may appeal to the IPC if a request for access or for correction is refused.
