Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) has developed an internal privacy policy to assist employees in ensuring that the measures for the protection of personal information under their control are incorporated into all departmental programs and activities. This policy is in accordance with the;
- Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,
- Privacy Act,
- Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Act (DHRSD Act),
- Department of Social Development Act (DSD Act),
- Employment Insurance Act (EI Act),
- Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and
- Old Age Security Act (OAS Act), and
Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) policies, directives and guidelines, and is based on privacy principles common to internationally recognized protection codes.
This policy is designed to be read in conjunction with the TBS policy entitled "Policy on Privacy Protection" and will assist in promoting a privacy sensitive culture across the organization, in demonstrating leadership in protecting personal information and in maintaining the trust of Canadians by outlining the commitment of HRSDC to protect personal information effectively.
