PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) sets out ten fair information principles that organizations must follow when collecting, using, or disclosing personal information. One of these principles is that individuals must give consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information, but this consent is only valid if it is given for specific purposes. Organizations are required to clearly state the purposes for which they are collecting personal information and obtain consent before using it for those purposes. Therefore, personal information cannot be used for any purpose without explicit consent from the individual.
