We are excited to kick off the first week of security awareness month.The theme of week 01 is STOP. THINK. CONNECT.: Best Practices for All Digital Citizens.  This means what are the basic, common steps that people can take to protect themselves in their everyday lives.  For this week we focus on how to secure yourself at home. 

We have a number of resources here to help you.  Remember, you are free and in fact encouraged to share these materials with others, including your family, friends and neighbors.

BC’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act  (FIPPA) sets out the access and privacy rights of individuals as they relate to the public sector. FIPPA establishes an individual's right to access records in the custody or control of a "PUBLIC BODY", including access to one's own "PERSONAL INFORMATION". In addition to establishing an individual's right to access records, FIPPA also sets out the terms under which a public body can collect, use and disclose the personal information of individuals. Public bodies are held accountable for their information practices – FIPPA requires that public bodies protect personal information by making reasonable security arrangements against unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure or disposal.

Under FIPPA, Royal Roads University is considered to be a "public body" and therefore subject to the provisions of FIPPA. Along with this guide, you can also check out:

• The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Here's the link to the actual legislation: http://www.bclaws.ca/Recon/document/ID/freeside/96165_00 
• Office of the Privacy Commissioner of BC: https://www.oipc.bc.ca/ 

 Privacy is a complex topic, especially when trying to interpret legislation such as FIPPA.  If you've got questions or concerns please get in touch with us and we'll do our best to help.
