Elevate Search Group – Disclosure and Release Agreement The use of personal information in Canadian commercial activities is now protected by federal legislation under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), or by provincial legislation that is "substantially similar". PIPEDA applies to both traditional, paper-based business as well as on-line commercial activities.

Privacy is a deeply-rooted, strongly-held public value. PIPEDA was enacted to alleviate consumer concerns about privacy and to allow Canada's business community to compete in the global digital economy. Organizations able to demonstrate their respect for, and protection of, personal information will gain a cutting edge on the competition. Complying with PIPEDA will build trust in the digital marketplace and create opportunities for Canadian businesses.

The purpose of this Act is to establish, in an era in which technology increasingly facilitates the circulation and exchange of information, rules to govern the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in a manner that recognizes the right of privacy of individuals with respect to their personal information and the need of organizations to collect, use or disclose personal information for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances. In order to build consumer trust and confidence in conducting e-business in Canada the Government of Canada is committed to establishing clear rules to protect the privacy of personal information in the new 'virtual' marketplace. This is being done through the implementation of Federal privacy legislation, and through development of a national policy on unsolicited consumer e-mail, otherwise know as SPAM.
