Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), introduced in 2000, regulates how private sector organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of their business activities. The law emphasizes obtaining meaningful consent from individuals, ensuring the secure handling of personal data, and granting individuals rights to access and correct their personal information. PIPEDA also requires organizations to be transparent about their data practices and mandates the reporting of data breaches that pose a risk of harm to individuals.
