Report on Activities - 2001 Data Users Opinion Survey

76.2% of respondent organizations had a Privacy Policy Statement (PPS) and 75.4% had a Personal Information Collection Statement (PICS) (Figure 2).

[Figure 2]

The relative importance of the methods used by data users to inform the public about their PPS and PICS was quite similar for both statements (Figure 3). The most popular methods were "attached to forms" (56.6% for PPS and 73.8% for PICS) and "available on request"
(52.6% for PPS and 40.7% for PICS).

[Figure 3]

Figure 4 indicates that 86.4% of respondent organizations notified their clients of their right to request access to, and correction of, their personal data. 52.5% claimed that they would proactively inform their clients of the relevant guidelines, even if their clients had not made a data access request. In contrast, 33.9% indicated a more passive approach in that they would, upon request, inform their clients of the guidelines for data access.
