Consent and privacy : a discussion paper exploring potential enhancements to consent under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act / prepared by the Policy and Research Group of...: IP54-106/2016E-PDF
"Consent is considered to be the cornerstone of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Organizations are required to obtain individuals’ consent to lawfully collect, use and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activity. Without consent, the circumstances under which organizations are allowed to process personal information are limited. PIPEDA is based on a technologically neutral framework of ten principles, including consent, that were conceived to be flexible enough to work in a variety of environments. However, there is concern that technology and business models have changed so significantly since PIPEDA was drafted as to affect personal information protections and to call into question the feasibility of obtaining meaningful consent"--Introduction, page 1.
