Welcome to the Library
The Canadian Privacy Library is the not-for-profit home to a collection of Privacy Impact Assessments.
The Privacy Library Collection
The majority of this collection consists of Canadian Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) from public post-secondary institutions in British Columbia. BC’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) requires public bodies to conduct PIAs, which contain rich knowledge about how technologies work, what privacy risks they carry, and how these risks are being mitigated.
Freedom of information requests under FIPPA have been filed to build the collection. Everything is public record.
PIAs protect privacy and keep people safe. They are in the public interest. They should be open for education, research, private study, and criticism. This library’s goal is to collect PIAs from every public post-secondary education institution in Canada and make them freely accessible online.
Today, the Canadian Privacy Library hosts 582 PIAs from 18 of 25 BC public post-secondary institutions, BCNET, and the Province of British Columbia.
