Access to information and privacy

Statistics Canada is committed to transparency and accountability by providing access to its information in response to access to information or privacy requests where permitted by law.

The Access to Information Act gives every Canadian citizen, permanent resident, individual or corporation in Canada the right to request access to records that are under the control of federal government institutions, regardless of their format.

This Act governs the federal government's collection, retention, use and disclosure of that information. It also provides individuals with a right of access to their personal information.
