Which act also includes references to the Privacy Act?

The Access to Information Act includes references to the Privacy Act, as both pieces of legislation are closely related and often work in conjunction to govern the information management practices of federal institutions in Canada. The Access to Information Act provides a framework through which individuals can request access to records under the control of a government institution, whereas the Privacy Act focuses on the personal information held by these institutions and the privacy rights of individuals regarding their personal information. Together, these acts ensure that government handling of information is both transparent and respectful of privacy rights.
