Comparing privacy laws: GDPR vs. PIPEDA
This report, produced in collaboration with Edwards, Kenny & Bray LLP, examines the GDPR and PIPEDA. It takes a closer look at the protections afforded to individuals with respect to the protection of their data and privacy, comparing these guarantees to those afforded under the GDPR. More specifically, the report details PIPEDA's scope of application, main definitions, controller and processor obligations, data subject rights, and enforcement matters, in comparison with those under the GDPR. The report also highlights guidance issued by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada ('OPC'), which acts as non-binding legal interpretations to clarify certain nuances and aid in compliance with the law.
