Designated privacy officers
A designated privacy officer (DPO) is a statutory officer created by the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (ATIPP). The head of a public body chooses the DPO. They respond to reports of suspected privacy breaches.
You should contact a DPO if you:
- have questions about the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information;
- suspect your or someone else’s personal information was breached; or
- have any general questions about privacy within a department, corporation or directorate.
DPOs are appointed to their role by the head of the public body. Ministerial public bodies include Government of Yukon departments, corporations and directorates.
