Privacy law in Canada is evolving rapidly. Businesses and organizations that collect, use, or disclose personal information are subject to obligations under Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act and the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. Proposed federal legislation under Bill C-27 would introduce significant changes to the privacy framework affecting businesses operating across Canada. Understanding current obligations and preparing for upcoming changes is essential for any organization that handles personal information.
Privacy compliance is not a one-time exercise. It requires ongoing attention to how personal information is collected, stored, shared, and disposed of, as well as clear internal policies, staff awareness, and a structured process for responding to access requests and complaints. Many organizations have outdated privacy policies or practices that do not reflect their actual operations, creating legal exposure that could be avoided with proper advisory and documentation.
Keystone Legal provides privacy compliance advisory to businesses and professionals across Alberta. The firm reviews existing privacy practices and documentation, identifies areas of legal exposure, and provides practical guidance on building a compliance framework that reflects the organization’s actual operations and meets applicable legal requirements under both provincial and federal law.
Businesses and professionals seeking to understand their privacy obligations or strengthen their compliance practices are welcome to contact the firm to discuss their specific circumstances and needs.
