Welcome to the "Implementing PIPEDA: A review of internet privacy
statements and on-line practices" project website. The project, run by
the Centre
for Innovation Law and Policy at the University of Toronto in
collaboration with the Information Policy
Research Program, is funded by the the Office of the Privacy
Commissioner of Canada.
The
project supported a survey and review of Internet privacy notices by
companies in the telecommunications, airline, banking and retail
sectors and field test a framework for assessing web-based privacy
statements for compliance with the Personal Information Protection and
Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
The project also helped
clarify whether privacy notices are a genuine reflection of a company's
desire to protect privacy. Researchers assessed notices for
positioning on the site, clarity of language, detail and compliance
with PIPEDA.
The Centre for Innovation
Law and Policy is a
multi-faceted academic centre devoted to the study of innovation law
and policy. The Information Policy Research Program (IPRP) is
an
on-going program of research examining key public policy issues,
notably access, privacy and governance, run out of the Faculty of
Information Studies at the University of Toronto.
The Final Report from the project is now available.
Presentations, recorded webcasts and other material from the Implementing
PIPEDA conference, held March 18, 2005, at the University's
Faculty of Law, is now available.
  
This project was made possible by the Office of the
Privacy Commissioner
