Departmental Privacy Guidelines
NOTE: The Human Resources and Skills Development Canada Departmental Privacy Guidelines were created in 2007 and reflect the department as it existed at that time. Updated guidelines will be developed in 2010 – 2011.
The objective of these guidelines is to ensure the effective and consistent application of the Departmental Privacy Policy. They will help staff understand their responsibilities regarding the administration of personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act, its accompanying Privacy Regulations, and other applicable legislation and policies.
This includes Part 4 of the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Act (DHRSD Act) and Part 2 of the Department of Social Development Act (DSD Act), section 104 et al. of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and section 33 et al. of the Old Age Security Act (OAS Act). The guidelines explain how these Acts govern the protection of personal information within HRSDC.
