PIPEDA and the provincial picture

PIPEDA applies to organisations that collect, use or disclose personal information in the course of commercial activity, and is built around ten fair information principles — consent, accountability, limiting collection, and openness among them. Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec have substantially similar private-sector laws, and Quebec's Law 25 adds stricter requirements including a designated privacy officer and specific consent rules.

• Meaningful consent, and how it is obtained for each purpose
• A named individual accountable for privacy
• Access and correction requests and your response timeline
• Complaints to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada
• Quebec-specific wording if you serve Quebec residents

CASL and marketing email

Canada's anti-spam law is stricter than most: commercial electronic messages generally need express or clearly documented implied consent, must identify the sender, and must include a working unsubscribe. Record when and how consent was obtained — under CASL the burden of proving it sits with you.
