PIPEDA interpretation bulletins

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) conducts investigations and tries to resolve privacy complaints against organizations. In an effort to summarize the general principles that have emerged, over time, from court decisions and the OPC’s findings under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), we issue Interpretation Bulletins on certain key concepts.
