PIPEDA is a consent based statute.

True
False
Only for electronic data
Only for minors

The correct answer is: True

PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) is a Canadian federal law that sets out rules for how private sector organizations are allowed to collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities. This includes both electronic and non-electronic data, making option C incorrect. Option D is also incorrect because PIPEDA applies to individuals of all ages, not just minors. This means that adults are also protected by this statute, making option D incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is A True, because PIPEDA does require the consent of individuals for the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information.
