๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Key PIPEDA Requirements

Canada's federal private sector privacy law, PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), applies to commercial activities across Canada. Quebec's Law 25 (Bill 64) has introduced GDPR-like requirements for Quebec residents. Canada's Privacy Commissioner can investigate complaints, and courts can award damages for serious privacy breaches.

  • Obtain meaningful consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information
  • Limit collection to what is necessary for the identified purpose
  • Provide individuals with access to their personal information on request
  • Protect personal information with appropriate security safeguards
  • Report breaches that pose a real risk of significant harm to the Privacy Commissioner
  • Quebec Law 25: privacy impact assessments, data minimization, and new consent rules
Data retention note: Personal information must be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the identified purpose. Organizations must have a documented retention and destruction policy.

  • App Store and Google Play compliance

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Cookie Policy required under PIPEDA?

A Cookie Policy is best practice for PIPEDA, even if not strictly mandated. It demonstrates transparency and builds user trust. For Mobile App businesses using analytics or advertising tools, it is strongly recommended.

What cookies does a Mobile App website typically use?

A typical Mobile App website uses: essential session cookies, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.), functional preference cookies, and marketing/advertising cookies if you run paid campaigns. Each type must be disclosed in your Cookie Policy with its purpose.

Do I need a cookie consent banner if I have a Cookie Policy?

Under PIPEDA, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. A consent mechanism is recommended for analytics and marketing cookies to align with global privacy best practices.
