At Okta, we know that privacy is a growing concern at every organization. Privacy regulations around the world are evolving rapidly, and since the GDPR took effect earlier this year, we’ve seen the bar for privacy being raised increasingly higher. On November 1, Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) will undergo an important update regarding the events that follow a security breach. Here’s an overview of the PIPEDA changes: What is PIPEDA? PIPEDA is a Canadian law that addresses data privacy and that was designed to promote consumer trust in e-commerce. It governs how private sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information in their commercial business. Additionally, PIPEDA facilitates the use of electronic documents. PIPEDA is supplemented by substantially similar provincial privacy laws in Alberta, British Columbia and Québec, and applies to international and interprovincial transfers of personal information. How is PIPEDA changing? Starting on November.
