Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. Privacy Protective Survey Guidance. 14 March 2024. 14 safeguards to protect personal information. They also occur when there is a collection, use, and/or disclosure of personal information that is not authorized by privacy laws. As set out in our office’s Privacy Impact Assessment Guidance, when a PIA is conducted, that is an opportunity for organizations to make adjustments to the project, program or process to ensure personal information is protected to the greatest extent possible and all practices comply with the applicable laws. Consult your Privacy Officer to see if your organization has developed its own guidance or policy on how to conduct a PIA. Other Considerations Consider if your survey requires research ethics board (REB) approval. Your survey may require REB approval if your survey qualifies as “research” involving “human participants.” Both terms are defined in the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans. For more information about the need for REB approval, consult your Privacy Officer and the Tri-Council Policy Statement. Organizations and individuals may seek access to the personal information and other information involved in the survey. Individuals may seek access to or correction of their own personal information. Public bodies will need to consider how they will provide individuals with their right to access or correction while protecting the personal information of other individuals. You may also be required to respond to a complaint about a privacy breach and will need to have policies in place to ensure appropriate breach response.
