The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is Canada’s federal privacy law for private-sector organizations.
It governs how businesses must collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities, ensuring the protection of personal data against loss, theft, or unauthorized access.
A Canadian e-commerce company uses Verimatrix’s application protection tools to safeguard the personal data of its customers, such as names, addresses, and credit card information, ensuring compliance with PIPEDA by securing this sensitive information against unauthorized access and data breaches.
Does PIPEDA regulate how businesses in Canada must handle personal information during commercial activities?
Yes.
