The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) governs the information-handling practices of private-sector organizations everywhere in Canada except British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, and the health-care sector of Ontario. (Comparable laws apply to organizations conducting business wholly within those jurisdictions.) Even in those provinces, PIPEDA continues to apply to the federally regulated private sector, such as telecommunications, banking and transportation, as well interprovincial and international transactions. PIPEDA applies to the personal information handling practices of private-sector organizations engaged in such practices as online tracking, targeting, profiling, and cloud computing.
