Canadian Privacy Legislation is changing to help modernize transparency and control individuals have over their personal information, as well as toughen penalties for non-compliance.
The new bill (C-11) includes two new acts:
- Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA)
- Personal Information and Data protection Tribunal Act (PIDPT)
These acts strengthen protections for private information and ensure businesses are handling information appropriately. The fines and penalties for violating these acts could cost companies millions. Therefore, it is crucial to get your staff trained on the latest safety precautions and stay up to date with any new to the Canadian Privacy legislation.
