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

Slack App — Specific Considerations

Slack apps (bots, integrations, and workflows) have access to workspace messages, files, and user data within the Slack workspace where they're installed. Slack's API scopes control what data your app can access, but workspace administrators and users must know what your app reads and stores. The Slack App Directory requires a privacy policy and imposes strict data handling requirements, especially for apps that access message content.

Data typically collected by Slack App businesses: Slack workspace member names and emails, message content accessed via API scopes, file and attachment data, channel membership and metadata, user profile data, event subscription data

• Slack API scope disclosure (what messages/data the app reads)
• Workspace administrator consent and user notification
• Message content retention and deletion policy
• Slack App Directory compliance requirements
• OAuth token security and revocation handling
