About the Freedom of Information (FOI) and Privacy Manual

The Freedom of Information (FOI) and Privacy Manual is designed to assist Freedom of Information and Privacy Coordinators for organizations covered by the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) or Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA).

The Manual provides an overview of FIPPA and access–and privacy–related practices and procedures to help Coordinators carry out their primary responsibilities — ensuring that the organizations they support:

  • process access requests in compliance with the law; and
  • collect, use, disclose and dispose of personal information in compliance with the law.
