Privacy Management Program (PMP)
Purpose
A strong and accessible PMP will help ensure personal information is handled with care and transparency and that privacy risks are identified and managed appropriately and proactively. The Town is committed to strengthening public trust and meeting our legal obligations.
Scope
This program applies to all individuals who collect, use, or disclose personal information on behalf of the Municipality, whether through direct employment (staff), appointment (elected officials, volunteers and committee members), or contractual agreement (contractors & service providers).
Governance & Accountability
The Town is accountable for personal information in its custody or under its control. Council provides governance oversight, and Administration is responsible for implementing this Privacy Management Program in day-to-day operations.
