Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is a Canadian federal privacy law that includes provisions regulating the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in the course of commercial activities. Under PIPEDA, employers are required to obtain an individual's consent before collecting, using, or disclosing their personal information, and are prohibited from using that information for purposes unrelated to the employee's employment without their consent. PIPEDA also requires employers to protect the confidentiality of employees' personal information and provides employees with a right to access their personal information in employer records.
