Each Alberta government department is required to have a directory of personal information banks (PIBs) and make it available to the public. A personal information bank lists the type of personal information held by a public body. The public can view a personal information bank to get information about:

• The title or name of the information bank
• The location of the information bank
• What kind of personal information is contained in the information bank
• What categories of individuals the information pertains to
• Why the information was collected and how it is used or disclosed
• The legal authority for the collection of the information

A personal information bank does not provide direct access to an individual’s records. For further information on how to obtain access to personal information, contact:
