Compliance with Canadian Data Protection Laws: Are Retailers Measuring Up?
Organization
Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC)Published
2006Summary
The Canadian Internet Policy Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) will investigate how well organizations subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) are complying with the law. CIPPIC will then develop a model for compliance-testing. The researchers hope to use their work as a useful tool for holding companies accountable under PIPEDA, therefore making privacy laws more effective. The researchers will also look at uncovering a poorly understood but critical market sector through which Canadians’ personal information is widely collected, used and shared: the data brokerage industry.This document is available in the following language(s):
