Why it matters

The purpose of Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act is to establish rules to govern the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in a manner that recognizes the right of privacy of individuals with respect to their personal information and the need of organizations to collect, use, or disclose personal information for purposes that a reasonable person might consider appropriate in the circumstances. The Act applies to personal information collected, used or disclosed by federally regulated private sector, organizations such as banks, airlines, and telecommunications companies, the retail sector, publishing companies, the service industry, manufacturers and other provincially regulated organizations.
