Background
Canadian privacy law serves two purposes to govern how organizations are allowed to collect,
use, and disclose your personal information, and also to enable individuals to access and manage
personal information collected by organizations.
Requesting access to information of a customer is usually provided free or at a minimal cost,
depending on the amount of information you request, the jurisdiction you access your
information under, and whether it is provided by a private sector organization or a public body.
For one to start a business in Canada he/she must know the rules of privacy and improve its
policies it uses the (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents) PIPEDA Act.
For example the Bank of Montreal, it requires all information regarding an individual before one
is granted an approval to have an account there. Despite the fact that the PIPEDA has its rules,
regulations and principals organizations and individual are still faced with the several issues such
as the disclosure of their details on the wrong hands. Below is a discussion of the issues faced
since its implementation.(Washington University 2015)

Canada has struggled to adapt its privacy law to the Big Data paradigm. While the Act
(“PIPEDA”) has enhanced data security among users and service providers, the act has done
little to restrict or establish coherent parameters for information sharing among service providers
and law enforcement agencies. Despite the jurisdiction act under one’s rights the judicial has

The government has had an opportunity to protect the details of those to protect. This in turn
shows how power can be part of the affecting clienteles such as business people or just a
customer. (Office of the Privacy Commission 2018)
These Privacy norms have come handy in loans, financial aid among others. Most people often
share their personal details in social media not knowing that it can affect one either positive or
negative. But the calculus PIPEDA ACT becomes much less clear for individuals who use online
technology to communicate with people they know and trust. Even though one may share
minimal personal information online, one person may be tracked through third-party. Law
enforcement agents can then use these biographies to investigate and prosecute individuals for a
wide-array of criminal practices. The PIPEDA contract allows one to choose her privacy in many
sites especially the social media platforms. Framework can protect reasonable privacy
expectations among users with diverse privacy preferences.
Legal Requirements
PIPEDA regulates the private sector’s collection, use and disclosure of personal information in
the course of commercial activities. The Canadian Parliament passed PIPEDA primarily to
ensure to preserve important trade relations with European Union (EU) members. The members
are allowed to share recommendable information among its members. (PIPEDA Research 2012)
Canadian courts have consistently held that Section Eight imposes normative rather than
descriptive constraints on law enforcement. Thus, the reasonableness of a search or seizure is not
dependent on the defendant’s actual or constructive knowledge of the degree of privacy he
enjoys. Indeed, the Supreme Court of Canada has largely rejected the “risk analysis” that is
