Access to information and protection of personal information

Summary

We are subject to the Act respecting access to documents held by public bodies and the protection of personal information (also known as the "Access Act"), which confirms two fundamental rights: the right to information and the right to privacy.

In this section

We have adopted a Release of information policy (under review) (PDF – in French) and a Personal information management policy. These policies (in French only) outline our commitments regarding the proactive release of information and the management of personal information.

Release of information policy (under review)

In accordance with the Release of information policy, we make the following information available:

We also make available the Register of authorized political entities of Québec (RAPEQ) and the Chief Electoral Officer’s court ledger.

Documents produced by the institution that have been submitted to the Assemblée nationale

Most of the documents are available in our publications section.

Inventory of personal information

The inventory of personal information files lists the personal information we have on file. For each file, we describe several factors including how we use the information, the source of the information, the categories of people who have access to it, and the security measures taken to ensure the confidentiality of the information.

Maintaining this inventory is a requirement under section 76 of the Access Act.

You have the right to be informed of the existence of information about you in a personal information file and to obtain a copy of that information. You may also request that any personal information about you be corrected or destroyed if it is inaccurate, incomplete, or ambiguous, or if its collection, disclosure, or conservation is not permitted by law.

If you wish to obtain or correct the personal information that we keep in one of these files, please submit a request.

Register of personal information released

The Register of personal information released records the sharing of personal information with public bodies without the consent of the individual concerned.

It also describes personal information that is used for purposes other than those for which it was collected.

This registry is a requirement under section 67.3 of the Access Act.

Contracts and financial commitments

In keeping with our commitment in the Policy on the disclosure of information and protection of privacy (PDF – in French), we make information regarding contracts and financial commitments available.
