PIPEDA Compliance - Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act

What does PIPEDA mean?

PIPEDA is a Canadian data privacy law that provides the framework on how companies in the private sector use, store, and disclose their clients’ personal information. PIPEDA stands for the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. In some cases, the law also dictates how companies should handle storing personal information of their employees.

How is PIPEDA compliance determined?

Organizations have to adhere to a detailed set of guidelines which declare permission from customers and employees for how they use, disclose and collect their personal information is a necessity. PIPEDA also requires companies to implement security safeguards that fully take into account the sensitivity of the personal data that is being collected.
