Privacy notice statement – call centre

We collect personal information from callers and call centre agents to respond to inquiries regarding agriculture and agri-food sector support programs and services and to facilitate program delivery.

Please note that all calls are recorded. Calls may also be monitored by a manager through a listen-in feature, which is only used for quality assurance purposes.

The collection and use of this information is authorized under the Financial Administration Act and the applicable legislation for the program you are inquiring about, including, but not limited to, the Farm Income Protection Act.

We use personal information to:

  • identify you, and where required, verify your program participation
  • respond to your inquiry and provide guidance or services
  • refer your inquiry to the appropriate program official for resolution
  • document and manage requests and interactions
  • administer and deliver Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) programs
  • improve service delivery and internal processes
  • monitor call centre agent performance and adherence to call centre policies and procedures
  • conduct program evaluation, reporting, and quality assurance

Caller information is stored in a Government of Canada–approved cloud solution managed by a vendor under contract with AAFC, with data securely stored in Canada.

The collection of personal information is described in Standard Personal Information Bank (PIB) PSU 914 (Public Communication) and in the program-specific PIB related to the program you are inquiring about, including, but not limited to, the PIB specific to AgriStability and AgriInvest (see Net Income Stabilization Account, PIB PPU 183). Personal information is retained for 2 years and then destroyed, unless it is used for program delivery purposes, in which case it is retained in accordance with the retention period specified in the applicable program-specific PIB.

Under the Privacy Act, you have the right to request access to, and correction of, your personal information. To exercise these rights, you may contact the Access to Information and Privacy Office at aafc.atip-aiprp.aac@agr.gc.ca.

You also have the right to file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe your personal information has been handled improperly.
