Good privacy is good for business.

Your business is responsible for protecting the personal information you have collected.

Whether a privacy breach affects one person or 1,000 people, you need to report it if there is a real risk of significant harm resulting from the breach.

Dealing with breaches transparently is not just about following the law. It sends a message to your customers and clients, staff, or others that even during challenging times, you take their interests to heart.

The OPC can help. There is guidance on this and much more at www.priv.gc.ca/business.
