Request your personal information from an Ontario ministry without retyping your details

Under FIPPA you can ask any Ontario government institution for the personal information it holds about you — and the form repeats your name and contact details. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Store your details once. Save your name and contact details in hivi.
2. Autofill the repeating fields. Use the hivi Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside hivi.
3. Describe the request yourself.
4. File with the institution.

Why do it in hivi

FOI and access forms repeat the same contact details. Stored once in hivi — in Canada, with no third-party AI — the repeating fields fill themselves.
