Publications
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) has a wealth of resources to help Canadians understand privacy rights. The OPC also has resources to help businesses and federal institutions understand their obligations to protect privacy.
These publications and reports are available throughout the OPC website, according to topic and related activity. However, this page lets you browse the whole collection and use filters to narrow your search.
If you would like to obtain a paper copy of a particular publication, please send an email to publications@priv.gc.ca clearly indicating which document you would like to obtain, as well as your name and postal address.
