Examples of circumstances where we may refuse to give you access to your personal information include where:

 

  1. giving access would be unlawful;

 

  1. we reasonably believe that giving you access would pose a serious threat to the life, health or safety of any individual or to public health or public safety;

If you request to correct your personal information, we will correct it, or, if we consider more appropriate, note your request for amendment of the information on your record.

 

We will not charge you to make a request to access your record but we may charge you to actually provide access depending on the costs associated with obtaining and providing the material.
