Compliance with PIPEDA
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is Canada's federal privacy law governing private-sector organizations.
Enacted on April 13, 2000, PIPEDA balances respecting individuals' privacy rights with organizations' legitimate needs to collect, use, or disclose personal information for appropriate purposes.
As we serve clients in both the United States and Canada, compliance with PIPEDA is a legal obligation. Similar to our adherence to the EU's GDPR, PIPEDA grants you rights to access your collected personal information, inquire about its collection, usage, and storage, and challenge its accuracy.
Under PIPEDA, personal information includes factual or subjective data collected by organizations about identifiable individuals. Please refer to Sections 2 and 3 for details on the personal information we collect.
The following are exempt from PIPEDA's scope:
- Personal information handled by federal entities under the Privacy Act.
- Provinces, territories, and their agencies.
- Employee contact details collected solely for professional communication.
- Personal information used strictly for personal purposes.
- Data collected for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes.
