PIPEDA: Full Visibility and Control Over Personal Data in Canada
PIPEDA requires organizations to protect personal information, ensuring it is collected, used, and disclosed only for authorized purposes.
To comply with federal and provincial regulations—especially Quebec’s stricter Law 25—security teams must verify that scripts, trackers, and cookies do not collect or share personal data outside permitted boundaries. Failing to do so exposes organizations to penalties and reputational risks, but Reflectiz can help.
