The Privacytown Home - Privacy Checklist

Importance of Information

Moderate to delicate

Regulated by Law

PIPEDA, or provincial private sector law in British Columbia, Quebec and Alberta

Existing government Privacy Acts do not apply. The PIPEDA will now apply to all organizations engaged in commercial activity, which leaves out churches, charities and your volunteer hockey club.

Voluntary Code

Not likely, but ask!

Follows the Fair Information Practices

Any organization under the new laws will, others may have voluntary codes.

Comments:

Be careful out there. The best way to stop secondary uses, data mining, surveillance or any other privacy hazard is your own privacy smarts.
