On April 13, 2000, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) received Royal Assent. It came into force in stages, beginning on January 1, 2001. PIPEDA came fully into effect on January 1, 2004. The legislation applies to organizations that collect, use or disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities.
