How to Request a Review

The Information and Privacy Commissioner provides an independent review of the decisions of public bodies under the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

You may request a review of a decision of a public body regarding your request if:

• The public body denied access to some or all of the records requested
• The public body was unable to locate a record that you believe is under the custody or control of that public body
• You feel the public body has taken too long to respond to your request
• You disagree with the requested fees
• You have been denied a correction to personal information
• You are a third party and the public body intends to give access to information that affects your interests, without your agreement

A Request for Review form is available electronically or by contacting the Manager of Access to Information and Privacy or the ATIPP contact in the public body you believe to be in possession of the record.

A request for review can be made in writing to:
