Guidelines for Professional Regulatory Bodies

Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. Guidelines for Professional Regulatory Bodies. Updated February 2024. 10 Professional regulatory bodies who will be publishing discipline related documents on their websites should also consider making related policies and procedures available to any person involved in the discipline process. This is so that members and any other person involved in the matter know what personal information (or personal health information) may be published in discipline related documents. Web Robot Exclusion Protocol Even when there is legal authority for disclosure, professional regulatory bodies should consider privacy enhancing technologies, including the robots exclusion protocol that limits the indexing of search results by well-known search engines such as Google and Bing. The robots exclusion protocol can act as a barrier to people who may wish to use the personal information for nefarious purposes. However, the discipline information is still available to individuals who actively go to the professional regulatory body’s website and search for discipline related documents.
