Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is a federal privacy law that applies to private-sector organizations in Canada that collect, use, or disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities.
The law establishes rules that are designed to protect individuals' privacy while supporting the needs of organizations to operate and communicate effectively.
PIPEDA is built around 10 Fair Information Principles, which outline how organizations must handle personal information.
- Accountability
- Identifying Purposes
- Consent
- Limiting Collection
- Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention
- Accuracy
- Safeguards
- Openness
