The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is Canada's federal privacy law.
PIPEDA went into effect in 2000 as a way of facilitating the use of electronic documents, and reassuring the EU that data transfers between the two territories would be adequate.
As PIPEDA was created with GDPR in mind, if your company is GDPR compliant, or getting ready to be, you'll only need minimal adjustments to comply with PIPEDA. Some regions like Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec have their own provincial privacy laws, and are generally (but not always) exempt from following the federal privacy law.
