In relation to MFIPPA, the focus is on protecting what type of information?

• A. Personal Information
• B. Weather data
• C. Financial data
• D. Traffic stats

Answer: (A)

MFIPPA centers on privacy for individuals. It governs how public bodies collect, use, and disclose personal information, while still providing ways for the public to access information. Personal information means data that can identify a person or relate to them, such as name, contact details, addresses, health information, and other details tied to an identifiable individual. Weather data, general financial data, or traffic statistics aren’t the focus unless they’re tied to a specific person; those types of information are not protected in the same privacy sense. So the emphasis of MFIPPA is protecting personal information about individuals held by public bodies.
