PIPA Compliance

Tech Regulate is a leading consulting company that specializes in helping businesses become PIPA compliant. We are a team of experts who have years of experience in privacy compliance and work with organizations of all sizes to ensure they meet the requirements of PIPA and protect the privacy of their customers' personal information.

What is PIPA?

The Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) is a privacy legislation that applies to all private sector organizations in Alberta and British Columbia that collect, use, and disclose personal information. The act was introduced to regulate the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by private organizations operating within these provinces.

Under PIPA, businesses must obtain consent from individuals before collecting, using, or disclosing their personal information, and can only use that information for the purposes for which it was collected. Organizations must also take reasonable steps to protect the personal information in their possession and properly dispose of it when it is no longer needed.

Why is PIPA compliance important?

PIPA compliance is important for businesses because it protects their customers' personal information and maintains trust between organizations and their clients. Non-compliance with PIPA can result in significant fines and legal action, and can also cause reputational damage to the organization.

Moreover, as businesses increasingly rely on technology and data to deliver products and services, protecting personal information has become critical to the success of the organization. Failure to comply with privacy laws such as PIPA can also result in loss of customers and business opportunities.
