OIPC Policies
Our services are in significant demand, so we have implemented policies to help us close more files faster and make the most effective use of our limited resources.
- We evaluate each request according to set criteria before deciding whether to open a complaint or review file;
- We monitor active investigations to make sure our involvement continues to meaningfully further the protection of privacy, makes public bodies more accountable, or is otherwise in the public interest; and
- We implemented benchmarks and timelines for our investigations to help us close more files faster.
