Access to Information and Protection of Privacy (ATIPP)
How to Dispute an ATIPP Decision
If access to officially requested records or information under the
Access to Information and Protection
of Privacy Act (ATIPPA) has been refused, a review of the request can be conducted.
The Information and Privacy Commissioner independently reviews any issues arising from ATIPP requests.
Applicants may ask the Information and Privacy Commissioner to:
- Review a refusal of access,
- Investigate a complaint about the extension of time limits,
- Investigate a complaint about fees charged,
- Review a request by a third party who objects to the planned release of information affecting their interests, or
- Review a refusal to correct personal information.
