Privacy Rights in Yukon

Yukon's ATIPP Act covers territorial public bodies and health information custodians, with the Ombudsman acting as the Information and Privacy Commissioner.

TL;DR

Yukon relies on PIPEDA for private-sector privacy. The Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (ATIPP) covers territorial public bodies. Health privacy is addressed through the Health Information Privacy and Management Act. The Yukon Ombudsman also serves as the Information and Privacy Commissioner.

What applies in Yukon

Yukon's framework is compact:

  • PIPEDA covers private-sector businesses.
  • ATIPP covers territorial government bodies and most public institutions.
  • HIPMA (Health Information Privacy and Management Act) covers personal health information.

Commissioner and Ombudsman

The Yukon Ombudsman and Information and Privacy Commissioner (same office) investigates privacy complaints under ATIPP and HIPMA and can make recommendations.
