Comply with Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is Canada’s federal privacy law that governs how private-sector organisations collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities. It ensures individuals have the right to access, correct, and control their personal data.

PIPEDA has been in force since 2001, applying across Canada except in provinces with substantially similar laws (like Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia). It requires transparency, accountability, and lawful handling of personal information, while balancing business needs with consumer privacy.
