2024-2025 Public Opinion Research on Privacy Issues

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) commissioned Phoenix Strategic Perspectives Inc. (Phoenix SPI) to conduct a telephone survey of Canadians and an online survey of parents and teachers on privacy-related issues. The OPC will use the survey findings to better understand Canadians’ concerns and attitudes towards privacy, their awareness of privacy institutions, and their views on managing their personal information. This insight will inform and guide outreach efforts. Additionally, the OPC uses the data for accountability purposes, such as Departmental Results Reports, and to track progress on key priorities, including children’s privacy and artificial intelligence.
