Feb 2019 Charity & NFP Law Update
Recent developments in privacy law, both globally and in Canada, as well as increasing stakeholder expectations and demands for protection of their personal information, should change how Canadian charities understand and manage their obligations around privacy, transparency and accountability. The following paper provides an overview of these recent developments, including recent developments under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and mandatory breach reporting under PIPEDA, as well as discussion on the application of privacy law to charities, privacy litigation, charities and children, data breach and cyber risks, and why charities should comply with PIPEDA.
This paper was prepared for the Ontario Bar Association’s Institute 2019: Privacy, Land Development, and Other Key Updates in Charity and Not-For-Profit Law. To reference the full paper, see “Privacy Issues Affecting Charities.”
