PIPEDA Compliance Training

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is Canada’s federal privacy law governing how private-sector organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activity. It also outlines how electronic documents can be used in business transactions.

Why It Matters

If your organization operates in Canada and collects, uses, or discloses personal information, complying with PIPEDA is mandatory. It is not optional and applies to most private-sector businesses engaged in commercial activities.

Failure to comply with PIPEDA can result in investigations by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, regulatory penalties, and damage to your organization’s reputation.

Demonstrating a commitment to protecting personal information not only ensures legal compliance but also strengthens your organization’s credibility and builds confidence among clients, customers, and employees.
