PIPEDA

PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) is a Canadian law that sets rules for how businesses must handle personal information. It ensures organizations collect, use, and share data responsibly, with respect for individuals' privacy rights. Under PIPEDA, companies need to obtain consent before gathering personal details, protect that information from breaches, and allow individuals to access or correct their data. The law applies to most federally-regulated sectors and promotes trust by maintaining transparent privacy practices in the digital age.
