You could also call this:
“This section explains key terms used for accessing and correcting personal information”
In this part of the law, you’ll learn about some important terms used when talking about access to and correction of personal information.
When you see “IPP 6 request” mentioned, it means a request that someone makes under Information Privacy Principle 6. This principle is about asking to see or get a copy of your personal information.
The law also explains that when it talks about a “requestor” for an IPP 6 request, it simply means the person who made that request.
These definitions help make sure everyone understands what these terms mean when they’re used in other parts of the law. If you see these terms in subpart 3 of this law, they mean the same thing there too.
