Information Bulletin Number 3 - October 10, 2002
Personal Information and Permit Applications
Effective November 10, 2002, permit applicants and their clients must
consent to the use of personal information such as names, addresses,
and telephone numbers that is included in permit applications, site
inventory forms or permit reports. However, consent is not required
from representatives of corporate clients. Property owners must also
consent to the use of this information if the application applies to
private property. This consent is necessary as the Archaeology and Registry
Services Branch collects and distributes personal information that is
subject to the
Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
Permit applications have been modified
to include the following statement:
"I consent to the use of personal information contained in this
application, as well as the personal information contained in the resulting
site inventory form and permit report, for contact and verification
purposes. I understand this information will be retained in the provincial
archaeological site database and permit report. I also understand this
information may be disclosed to researchers, consulting archaeologists
and other users of the database and permit report. Database users must
identify themselves and the purpose of their information request, and
are precluded from further distribution of the information they obtain.
The permit report will be publicly available once it has been accepted
as meeting permit terms and conditions."
Thank you for your assistance in ensuring informed consent is obtained
prior to collecting personal information.
