Summarize

Sébastien Gittens and Stephen Burns write in LexisNexis's Canadian Data Governance and Privacy Digest on "Understanding the CCPA: A Comparison Between the CCPA, PIPEDA, and PIPA."

The article outlines the differences between the California Consumer Privacy Act, Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and Quebec's Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector and the Personal Information Protection Acts of Alberta and British Columbia.

The two discuss who and what the acts apply to, consent within the regulations, data protection, accountability, individual rights, cross-border processing, data breach notifications, data protection authority, administrative fines and penalties and private right of action.

Subscribers to LexisNexis can view the digest on Lexis Advance Quicklaw.
