Can Cancer Care Ontario decline my request for aggregate data?
Cancer Care Ontario may decline a data request if Cancer Care Ontario does not have the data necessary to fill the request or if the disclosure of the data could potentially identify an individual. Cell sizes of five (5) or fewer, populations such as small cities or neighbourhoods, or data that Cancer Care Ontario has deemed to be potentially identifying will not be disclosed in order to protect the confidentiality of persons to whom the data relates. In some cases, the Information Management Coordinator may defer the request because an annual, quarterly or semi-annual indicator is, or will be, available. The Information Management Coordinator will explain to the requestor when and how to access the indicator.
