About ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV's Privacy Management Program
The mission of ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV’s Privacy Management Program is to enhance the University’s accountability as a public body entrusted with vast amounts of personal information about its students, employees, alumni, and other third-party affiliates. ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV has both an ethical and legal obligation to safeguard personal privacy.
Section 36.2 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) requires B.C. public bodies (such as the University) to develop a privacy management program (PMP).
The Privacy Management Program Directions (PMP Directions), issued by the minister responsible for FIPPA, describe the mandatory components for PMPs. Taken together, these components enhance the University’s overall accountability to its students, employees and other stakeholders while also promoting and enhancing trust in the individuals for whose personal information we are responsible.
The relevant components of the PMP Directions are:
1. DESIGNATING A PRIVACY CONTACT PERSON
