A number of Ontario firms have already taken steps to comply with the new law. For Merv White of Orangeville’s Carter and Associates, the firm’s privacy policy sprang out of work he was doing to advise the firm’s many charitable and not-for-profit clients. He drafted a Privacy Policy which can be found on Carter and Associates’ Web site (www.carters.ca/privacy.pdf), as well as a detailed internal Policy Implementation Manual. His advice to his colleagues in other firms – “you’d better get your privacy policy in place – this issue is not going away.”
