Description:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Privacy Management Framework (PMF) provides high-level strategic direction to maintain consistent and effective privacy management across the GoA in today's rapidly evolving digital world. The PMF demonstrates the government's commitment to the protection of personal information by:

  • defining "privacy by design";
  • specifying Framework Principles that will inform the development and revision of new and/or existing policy instruments;
  • highlighting privacy-related commitments the GoA ​will be implementing in support of the Framework Principles; and
  • providing an overview of the roles, policy instruments and processes that support and articulate the Framework Principles.​​
