Personal Information Banks

The storage of the different types of personal information collected by the Government of Alberta while conducting business with Albertans.

Overview

Under Alberta's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, each Government of Alberta department is required to have a list of the types of personal information it collects as part of the programs and services it provides. These lists are called Personal Information Banks (PIB).

PIBs include the type of personal information collected and how that information is used. They do not provide direct access to an individual’s personal records or disclose any personal information about individuals.

The purpose of making this information available is to promote transparency and ensure Albertans can find out the types of personal information the Government of Alberta may have about them.

New entries will be added or removed from the PIB list as they are created or no longer needed.
