Privacy Issues
 
In an effort to respond to the privacy issue of Canadians, the federal government enacted the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The purpose of PIPEDA is to regulate the private sector’s collection, use and disclosure of personal information.
 
Your company should adhere to PIPEDA’s principles regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. Your privacy is of the highest priority to ABC. Keeping that in mind, read and carefully consider the following: 
 
There may be instances in which you will need to attain personal information. These situations include attending seminars, open houses, completing surveys, or providing references. 
 
Do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, you may disclose your personal information to third parties where it is required by law.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, go the PIPEDA website.
