Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. Guide to LA FOIP, Chapter 6, Protection of Privacy. Updated 27 February 2023. 206 • The names, titles, and signatures of the officials in both the supplying and receiving organizations who are responsible for the terms of the agreement, the date of the agreement and the period for which it is in effect.561 Local authorities should still abide by the data minimization and need-to-know principles when disclosing personal information. Only disclose the least amount of personal information necessary to achieve the purpose. Further, only disclose to those that have a need-to-know the personal information to carry out the purpose. See Need-to-Know and Data Minimization earlier in this Chapter. IPC Findings As of the issuing of this Chapter, the Commissioner has not considered this provision in a Report yet. This section will be updated accordingly when it is considered. Subsection 28(2)(l) Disclosure of personal information 28(2) Subject to any other Act or regulation, personal information in the possession or under the control of a local authority may be disclosed: … (l) where necessary to protect the mental or physical health or safety of any individual; Subsection 28(2)(l) of LA FOIP permits a local authority to disclose personal information about an individual without consent where it is necessary to protect the mental or physical health or safety of any individual. Like other privacy laws in Canada, LA FOIP permits disclosure to protect health and safety. However, it must be “necessary” to protect that health and safety. 561 Adapted from Service Alberta, FOIP Guidelines and Practices: 2009 Edition, Chapter 7 at pp. 270 to 271.
