What is PIPEDA?

hi

Businesses are required to protect personal information under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The act requires all businesses to ensure customer information is secure, accurate, gathered with consent and not used beyond a stated purpose.PIPEDA places a legal duty on the retail sector to protect personal information from the risks that can lead to identity theft. These obligations require all organizations that collect debit or credit card information to protect it from unauthorized access, use, disclosure or disposal.
