PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) is the federal privacy legislation that applies to private-sector organizations. It addresses how personal information can be collected, used, and disclosed and also establishes guidelines for safeguarding personal information. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Human Rights Act address broader human rights issues, while the Privacy Act applies only to federal government institutions.
