The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is a federal law in Canada that governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in the course of commercial activities. It applies to private-sector organizations that collect, use or disclose personal information for commercial purposes, and establishes rules for how these organizations must handle personal information in their possession. If YU failed to comply with PIPEDA, it could be subject to fines and other penalties.
