Yukon's Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (ATIPP) ensures that everyone has a right to:
- access information; and
- have their privacy protected.
If you want to ask for government information that isn't available publicly, we call this an ATIPP request.
Informal and formal requests
We can respond to some requests for information without you having to submit a formal ATIPP request. If you'd like to submit an informal request, or would like more information about the process, contact the ATIPP Office for advice.
What types of information can I request?
There are 2 types of requests you can make as an individual under the ATIPP Act:
- program;
- or personal.
Program requests include any information about government:
- programs;
- projects; and
- operations.
Personal information requests include any information about you that the government holds.

- 3rd party personal information;
- 3rd party business information;
