WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Privacy has now become a major issue in both the public and private sectors.  The relevance of privacy in Canadian life has been spurred on by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which applies to the private sector in Canada.  This law came into effect on January 1, 2001 and will be applicable to all jurisdictions in Canada as of January 1, 2004 either through laws passed in the provinces or under the federal legislation.  

New technologies are emerging as enhancers of privacy and have the possibility of playing a significant role in how Canadians protect their privacy.  How does this relate to current privacy law requirements and how can technology protect Canadians’ privacy?

This one-day seminar will have practical sessions on implementation procedures of the private sector legislation. It is a must for companies, associations and organizations to understand what they need to do to comply with this legislation.

The book The Privacy Payoff, by Ann Cavoukian, Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, will be included in the price of the conference.
