Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner Tables 2024-2025 Annual Report
Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner, Grace Hession David, has tabled the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner’s (OIPC) 2024-2025 Annual Report with the Legislative Assembly.
The Commissioner discusses the rapidly developing consequences of technology and the impact this has in every area of life in the province.
“The people of Saskatchewan should be able to freely participate in the digital world and not worry about overreach with respect to the collection of personal information or the fact that their personal information will be ransomed and perhaps available on the Dark Web after a cyber breach.”
The team of dedicated professionals at the OIPC are committed to fighting for the access and privacy rights of Saskatchewan residents and will continue providing relevant, up-to-date information on access and privacy legislation made available to the public.
Commissioner Hession David outlined the top priorities of the office for the next five years. More information on these priorities can be found in the Annual Report.
• Continued accessibility to the public
• Prioritizing youth privacy
• Raising awareness around cyber security and cyber breaches
• Privacy concerns with Generative AI
The 2024-2025 Annual Report includes: last years’ accomplishments, the strategic plan for 2025-2026, a thorough review of the statistics from the past year’s efforts, and a new section on appeals. The appeals section includes a review of four OIPC rulings by the Kings Bench, and one important appeal ruling from the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal.
