Frequently asked questions
What is PIPEDA compliance?
PIPEDA — Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act — requires private-sector organizations to obtain consent, limit collection, safeguard personal information, and stay accountable across 10 fair information principles. Valdra's assessment scores you against all 10 and produces a gap report with a remediation roadmap.
Does PIPEDA apply to my business?
PIPEDA applies to most private-sector organizations that collect, use, or disclose personal information in the course of commercial activity across Canada — except in provinces with substantially similar laws (Quebec, BC, Alberta) where the provincial act applies to intra-provincial activity. If you handle customer data, some privacy law applies — Valdra figures out which.
How long does a PIPEDA assessment take?
The guided 71-question assessment takes most teams a couple of hours, and you get a scored gap report and remediation roadmap immediately. Basic PIPEDA defensibility is achievable in about a week of follow-up work.
