PIPEDA is Canada’s federal private-sector privacy law, overseen by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. It governs how businesses collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activity, and its breach-reporting obligations have real teeth. We get your consent practices, safeguards, and breach process aligned so privacy is handled properly, not improvised.
