Why a privacy impact assessment was completed

A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for this activity is required because personal information is collected and used as part of real property transactions. The PIA helps identify and reduce privacy risks, ensures compliance with applicable legislation and policy, and supports public trust in how personal information is handled.

 

Additional information
