Canada has one of the most comprehensive privacy regimes in the world. In addition to having national and provincial private and public sector privacy legislation, Canada has one of the most restrictive anti-spam regimes in the world. Moreover, regulated entities in sectors, such as banking, insurance, education, transportation, and healthcare, must adhere to additional privacy and data security rules or principles.

Increasingly, data privacy and security issues are international in scope and regulators are working together. Clients choose Pacific Legal because of whether their issue is local or international.
