Canada Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act: Quick Reference explains employer requirements under the Canada Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). It contains the full text of the Canada Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

PIPEDA applies to organizations that collect, use or disclose personal information within a province or territory unless that province or territory has passed a law similar to the provisions of this Act. The authors have described the overall requirements of PIPEDA, plus its real and potential impact.

Canada Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act: Quick Reference, 2012 Edition has been revised and updated to reflect the latest decisions of the courts and the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Noteworthy developments include an increasing concern about data breaches, limitations placed on the Privacy Commissioner by the Supreme Court of Canada, further developments in respect of North American (cross-border) privacy protection, and predictions about potential legislative amendments.

Summary of recent cases awarding damages for breach of PIPEDA.
Overview of Privacy Commissioner's audit of a prominent retail operation, which found numerous breaches of PIPEDA.
