Compliance with Data Protection Laws in Canada

In Canada, data protection is governed by several key regulations, most notably the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). PIPEDA sets the framework for how private sector organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial business. Additionally, there are provincial laws such as the Alberta Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act, and Quebec’s Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector, which further strengthen data protection measures. At DestroyDrive, we ensure full compliance with these regulations, providing secure and certified data destruction services across Canada.
