Privacy and Legislation Privacy The Newfoundland & Labrador Statistics Agency takes privacy very seriously. All information collected is anonymized. It is never possible to connect data that is made public to you or to your household. We use tools, software and processes that prevent disclosure and ensure the confidentiality and privacy of individual data. As well, The Statistics Agency Act is one of the acts which prevails over the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (see Schedule A of the ATIPP act for a complete list). By law, the Agency cannot hand over anyone's personal information - not to the police, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or even the courts. All information collected is strictly protected. Legislation The Statistics Agency Act outlines the abilities of the agency and its representatives to collect and protect your information. It also outlines what kind of information can be shared, with whom it can be shared, and the penalties for the inappropriate use or disclosure of your information that is collected under the Act.
