Canadian Rules for the Management of Personal Records

The Canadian Rules for the Management of Personal Records establish that organizations must securely handle and protect individuals’ personal information. This involves collecting only necessary data, keeping it accurate, limiting access, and storing it safely. Organizations are also required to inform individuals about how their data will be used and give them options to access or correct their records. When no longer needed, personal data should be securely destroyed. These rules aim to respect privacy, maintain trust, and prevent unauthorized access or misuse of personal information, ensuring responsible and ethical data management.
