Under the Privacy Act, government institutions are typically allowed to disclose personal information without the consent of the individual in certain circumstances, such as for law enforcement purposes or in compliance with court orders (e.g., search warrants). Disclosures to a member of parliament to assist in resolving a problem also usually do not require consent if they are for a purpose consistent with the reason the data was initially collected. However, disclosing personal information to a registered charitable organization would not fall under these usual exceptions and would generally require the individual's consent unless another specific exception applies. This ensures that personal information is not shared beyond the scope of its original collection purpose without appropriate authorization.

The federal Privacy Commissioner of Canada is authorized to initiate a court action in Federal Court after completing an investigation under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) if there has been a refusal to comply with a recommendation made by the Commissioner or if there is a need to clarify the application of the Act. Specifically, the Commissioner can seek a Federal Court determination when there is a dispute about whether personal information was properly withheld from release. This function aligns with the Commissioner's mandate to oversee compliance with PIPEDA and address complaints regarding the handling of personal information by organizations. This provision is found under Section 14 of PIPEDA.

Under the Alberta Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), when a real risk of significant harm (RROSH) from a data breach has been determined, the organization must notify both the individuals affected and the Privacy Commissioner of Alberta. The law requires that notifications include the description of the personal information involved in the breach, the number of individuals affected, and the steps taken to reduce or mitigate harm. However, a description of the steps the organization will take to notify affected individuals is part of the process following the assessment and initial report, not an immediate requirement when notifying the Commissioner of the RROSH itself.
