Personal information
Any information that may identify an individual is considered personal information. Even if an individual's name is not used, we are dealing with personal information if we can accumulate enough information to identify someone.
Obtaining consent
You must obtain the written consent (permission) of any individual whose personal information you are requesting. In the case of a deceased person, you must provide a death certificate.
Accessing information
Making a request to access information under either Act does not guarantee that you will receive all the information or records you have requested. The RCMP takes into account privacy and security considerations, among other elements, when reviewing requests. This may prevent us from releasing certain information.
