Product description
Revised and updated with recent cases and regulatory guidance, The Privacy Officer’s Guide to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, 2024 Edition is an essential reference on compliance with Canada's privacy law regime. Canada’s existing Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is being pushed to its limits by an activist Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC). The result is that the law is often applied in ways that may not be obvious.
This Guide helps sort through past OPC guidance to help sort out which prior interpretations are reliable and where the OPC may go next. In addition, this Guide contains extensive commentary on Bill 27 which would enact the Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA) to replace PIPEDA. The Guide compares the CPPA to PIPEDA and explains how the CPPA may change current guidance and practices.
