Description:

Description of last year's 2011 edition:

Threats to privacy primarily occur due to new ways in which information is collected and used. Be Prepared. Be Protected. Understand this important new privacy legislation.

Canada Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act: Quick Reference explains employer requirements under the Canada Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). PIPEDA applies to organizations that collect, use or disclose personal information within a province or territory unless that province or territory has passed a law similar to the provisions of this Act. The authors have described the overall requirements of PIPEDA, plus its real and potential impact.

Canada Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act: Quick Reference, 2011 Edition has been revised and updated to reflect the latest decisions of the courts and the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Noteworthy developments include an increasing concern about data breaches, limitations placed on the Privacy Commissioner by the Supreme Court of Canada, further developments in respect of North American (cross-border) privacy protection, and predictions about potential legislative amendments.

New additions to the 2001 Quick Reference include:

Overview of the proposed amendments to PIPEDA (Bill C-29).
Re-introduction of anti-spam legislation.
Discussion of the exception to the requirement for consent and video surveillance.
Limits on the publicly-available information exception.
Limits on collection of personal information for store memberships.
Further information on access to personal information that is subject to privilege.
Results of the recent audit of the mortgage brokers industry by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
Consideration of the legal requirements for "third party" collection of information.
Further discussion on outsourcing and the definition of "commercial activity."
Update on employer use of video surveillance.
Further information on monitoring of employee email.
Update on employer use of GPS technology.
Consideration of the notification of implied consent to disclose personal health information.

This Quick Reference volume also contains the full text of the Canada Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
