On May 24, 2018, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (“OPC”) published two new guidance documents designed to help organizations comply with their privacy obligations in an online environment: the “Guidelines for obtaining meaningful consent,” and the “Guidance on inappropriate data practices: Interpretation and application of subsection 5(3).” This Charity & NFP Law Bulletin provides an overview of both documents, which the OPC states are intended to improve the consent model under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.
For the balance of this Bulletin, please see Charity & NFP Law Bulletin No. 422.
