In some cases, it may be quick and easy to access records held by provincial government ministries or other public bodies, or to access your personal information held by a private organization. Their website may have the information you want, or a phone call may be enough get the information. But if there’s no other way of getting the information you want, you can send a written request to the information and privacy branch of the government ministry or other public body, or to the privacy officer of the private organization. For example, if you want to see records on an ICBC claim, you would send a written request to the Information and Privacy Branch of ICBC. If you want access to information about your gym’s privacy policy, or your personal information it has on file, you would send a written request to the gym’s privacy officer.
