You can <strong>implement a cookie banner</strong> with brief information on your data collection through cookies.</p> <p><strong>02 Allow individuals to control the level of detail they get and when</strong></p> <p>Information should be provided in a manageable and easily accessible way.  Businesses should “layer” information in ways that enable individuals to control how much detail they want and when. With CookieYes cookie banner, you can <strong>display cookie information in layers</strong>, with the detailed cookie list and category information in the second layer.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.cookieyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/image-1.png" alt="Cookie banner for meaningful consent PIPEDA" class="wp-image-9773" /></figure></div> <p><strong>03</strong> <strong>Provide individuals with clear options to say “yes” or “no.”</strong>  Businesses should ask for consent for only what is necessary to provide the product or service and consumers should be given a choice that is clear and easily accessible.  Display a <strong>cookie banner with ‘Accept’ and ‘Reject’ buttons</strong> so users have an active choice.</p> <p><strong>04 Be innovative and creative</strong>.  Businesses should design or adopt innovative consent processes that can be displayed “just-in-time”, interactive and device-appropriate.

This includes clear explanations, language suitable to a diverse audience and displaying information in an accessible way. With CookieYes, you can <strong>link the privacy and cookie policy on your banner</strong> for easy access to detailed policy pages.</p> <p><strong>06 Make consent a dynamic and ongoing process</strong>.  Informed consent should be an ongoing process that changes as circumstances change. For this, businesses should provide users with the ability to change or withdraw their consent at any time. For cookie consent, you can implement a <strong>consent revisit button</strong> on your website.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.cookieyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screenshot-2022-03-22-at-3.45.33-PM-1024x584.png" alt="Consent revisit button for meaningful consent PIPEDA" class="wp-image-8036" /></figure> <p><strong>07 Be accountable</strong>.

Individuals can:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>PIPEDA provides that, on the request of an individual, an organization must disclose the existence, use, and disclosure of his or her personal information and grant the individual access to that.</li> <li>Organizations should inform individuals of the purpose for collecting any information, at the time or before the time of collection, in writing or orally. </li> <li>While PIPEDA does not grant the right to erasure, organizations are required to destroy, erase or anonymise information that is no longer needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.</li> <li>PIPEDA allows individuals to withdraw consent at any time but should inform individuals of the implications of withdrawing consent.</li> </ul> <div id="Whatisthepen-8" class="scrollspy"><h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is the penalty for a violation under PIPEDA?</h2></div> <p>A PIPEDA violation is any violation of Division 1 of the Act (Protection of Personal Information) or any violation of Division 1.1 (Breaches of Security Safeguards) that includes a violation of the data breach notification rule, or the failure to comply with the 10 principles of PIPEDA.</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>PIPEDA provides the option for monetary penalties on organizations for committing an offence under PIPEDA. </li> <li>Organizations that commit offences may be subject to fines of up to $100,000.

Businesses can implement either explicit or implicit and the appropriate form of consent is to be defined based on the sensitivity of the personal information and the reasonable expectations of the data subject.</p> <p>Cookies are one of the most common ways in which businesses collect and share personal data online. To <strong>inform users</strong> and <strong>obtain their consent</strong>, you can implement a simple cookie consent banner and record all your user consents for proof of compliance. <strong>CookieYes CMP will help you add a cookie banner on your website and instantly get started with <a href="https://www.cookieyes.com/pipeda-compliance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PIPEDA compliance</a>.</strong></p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.cookieyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/1-1024x559.png" alt="Cookie banner for PIPEDA compliance" class="wp-image-9061" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A simple cookie banner powered by CookieYes CMP.</figcaption></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">02 Update privacy policy</h3> <p>To fulfil the principle of <strong>identifying purposes and openness</strong>, businesses should disclose how they collect, use, share, secure and process users’ personal data. An up-to-date and detailed privacy policy can outline this and help you achieve compliance. The policy should include all information about personally identifiable information, along with the organization’s PIPEDA practices and how individuals can request access to their data. You can easily generate a privacy policy with our <a href="https://www.cookieyes.com/privacy-policy-generator/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FREE privacy policy generator</a>. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">03 Implement security safeguards</h3> <p>Businesses should implement physical, organizational, and technical methods to <strong>safeguard personal information</strong>. It should be ensured that the data is protected from cybersecurity breaches such as unauthorized access, theft, or duplication of data. Encrypting data at entry and exit points, and restricting physical and remote access to data are important security measures that should be in place. While PIPEDA does not have specific guidelines on how organizations should implement safeguards, you can refer to the <a href="https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework">NIST framework</a> for guidance. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">04 Notify during a data breach </h3> <p>Under the PIPEDA’s <strong>data breach notification rule</strong>, businesses are required to notify the Office of the Privacy Commission (OPC) if there’s any breach of security safeguards that poses a “real risk of significant harm” to an individual. The PIPEDA breach notification rule requires businesses to notify affected individuals in a manner which makes clear the risk of harm and the steps they should take to mitigate the risk. Businesses should also maintain records of all data breaches of security safeguards irrespective of the scope of the breach or the sensitivity of the personal information involved and even if the breach doesn’t pose significant harm to individuals. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">05 Provide individual access</h3> <p>To fulfil the obligations of<strong> individual access</strong> under PIPEDA, an organization must reply to a request for access to personal information in writing within 30 days of receipt of the request. Businesses have to confirm an <a href="https://www.cookieyes.com/blog/dsar-data-subject-access-request/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">individual’s request</a>, explain how personal data is used and provide a list of anyone with who the information has been shared with. In addition, organizations must also comply with an individual’s request to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and amend it.</p> <div id="FAQonPIPEDA-10" class="scrollspy"><h2 class="wp-block-heading">FAQ on PIPEDA</h2></div> <div class="schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block"><div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1718368764373"><strong class="schema-faq-question">When did PIPEDA come into effect?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">PIPEDA came into force on 1 January 2001 and came into full effect on 1 January 2004. </p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1718368772991"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Does PIPEDA apply to all provinces?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">PIPEDA is a federal law that applies to all provinces and territories in Canada.
