Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
Canada's federal privacy law governing how private sector organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information.
PIPEDA is Canada's primary federal privacy law for private sector organizations. It applies to personal information collected, used, or disclosed in the course of commercial activities.
PIPEDA is built on 10 Fair Information Principles: accountability, identifying purposes, consent, limiting collection, limiting use/disclosure/retention, accuracy, safeguards, openness, individual access, and challenging compliance.
Quebec's Law 25 (Bill 64), fully in force since September 2023, significantly strengthened provincial privacy requirements beyond PIPEDA, including mandatory privacy impact assessments and stricter breach notification timelines.
