Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. Steps to Request a Correction of Personal Information or Amendment of Personal Health Information. 29 April 2025. With your request for review, include: • A copy of the record at issue where you have identified personal information or personal health information that you believe contains an error or omission. • A copy of your request for correction/amendment and the response from the government institution, local authority or trustee. • Any evidence to support your position that the personal information or personal health information contains errors or omissions. Step 5: Early Resolution Upon receiving your request for review, the IPC will determine if it has jurisdiction and grounds to review your matter. An Intake Officer will contact you to ask questions and ensure that you provide all the information the IPC requires. This will include obtaining information from you that supports your claim that the record contains errors or omissions. The Intake Officer will also work with the parties to clarify the scope of the request for review, and, if they identify an opportunity for early resolution, they will contact the government institution, local authority or trustee and will attempt to find an early resolution solution, if possible. For more information on the role of Intake Officers, please refer to the IPC’s blog, The Role of an Intake Officer. Step 6: Make a Submission If early resolution is not possible, the IPC will assign an Analyst to your file. You will receive a notice of the review via email or letter and be invited to make a submission (i.e., provide relevant evidence of the alleged error or omission you identified in the personal information or personal health information). Please note that you are not obligated to provide a submission. If you wish to provide a submission for consideration in a review, you can refer to the IPC’s resource, A Guide to Submissions to access a guide and template for preparing and writing a submission. The government institution, local authority or trustee will also receive a notice of review and the IPC will request it provide an explanation for how it arrived at its decision regarding the request for correction or amendment, and any other details relevant to the circumstances.
