What does PIPEDA govern?

  1. Public property management

  2. the collection, use and disclosure of personal information by organizations engaged in commercial activities

  3. Municipal affairs

  4. Trade regulations

The correct answer is: the collection, use and disclosure of personal information by organizations engaged in commercial activities

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is a federal privacy law in Canada that sets rules on how private sector organizations can collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities. Option A, C, and D are incorrect because PIPEDA specifically deals with the protection of personal information, not public property management, municipal affairs, or trade regulations.
