The text states that Canada's privacy laws give customers the right to request copies of any files a firm keeps on their personal data.

Answer: B
 PIPEDA requires that customers sign an "opt-in" agreement before a firm can use their data for any purposes other than those for which it was collected.

Answer: D
 The text states that marketers using third-party CRM firms to manage their customer databases run the risk of exposing the third-party firm to potential lawsuits unless the third-party firm obtains consent directly from the customers. However, the text does not mention whether this would be a violation of Canadian privacy legislation in particular, so it is not a true statement about Canadian privacy laws.

Therefore, the true statements about Canadian privacy legislation are A and B.
