🇨🇦 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
