About Us - Privacy and Government On-Line
The Information Policy Division of the Chief Information Officer Branch (CIOB)
is responsible for modernizing and maintaining federal information management
and technology policies and guidelines. The exponential and unprecedented
growth of the Internet and the demand for on-line programs and services, has
necessitated that government policy and legislation be renewed to reflect
these changes.
As part of the Government On-Line agenda, the Information Policy Division is
moving forward on an innovative legislative and policy framework that includes
the following key pieces:
- Common Look and Feel Standards for the Internet,
- A refreshed information management policy that will be called
Management of Government Information, and
- A toolset for managers designed to build trust for Government
On-Line that includes the
Privacy
Impact Assessment Policy
and provides guidance on cookies, notification and consent.
Treasury Board Ministers must approve each policy. Most policies designate
the Deputy Minister or the Head of Agency as responsible and accountable for
ensuring the day-to-day implementation of Treasury Board Policy in each
department and agency.
