1. What is "personal information"?

"Personal information" is defined in the Privacy Act to mean any "information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable": - whether the information is true or not, and - whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not. What constitutes personal information will vary, depending on whether an individual can be identified or is reasonably identifiable in the particular circumstances. Information that includes a person's first name, mailing address, telephone number, title or e-mail address may be personal information, for example. In this Privacy Policy we also use the term "sensitive information". Sensitive information includes personal information relating to health, as well other kinds of personal information to which higher standards apply under the Privacy Act.
