Privacy Tool Kit
The
Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) came into effect
in January 2004 and sets out the ground rules for how
not-for-profit organizations may collect, use or disclose
information about their tenants and employees. The law also gives
individuals the right to access their own personal information. As
well, PIPA requires organizations to protect and secure personal
information against unauthorized use or disclosure.
