From experience with my clients:
1) Be really, really careful when you borrow a lease or privacy policy from the internet or a buddy. Just because someone else is using it doesn't mean it does the job
2) Go to the Service Alberta website and search for Residential Tenancies tipsheets. Search that site for landlord tenant packages and so on. The Landlord Tenant advisory board may have precedents for a standard lease agreement. Review the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner FAQ as well to see your obligations from that perspective. People make privacy inquiries just as a way of pissing off their landlords or some company (who then have to spend countless hours or thousands of dollars hiring someone to compile the information on their behalf). By the way, the privacy complaint is free for the complaintant.
3) If that doesn't float your boat, go to a lawyer. Be sure that you get privacy language setting out your obligations as landlord in that respect as well. It shouldn't cost that much.
