Subject: Important: New Data Privacy Act - Bill C-48 Updates for TerraFin
Dear Team,
As you are aware, the new 'Data Privacy and Digital Responsibilities Act' (Bill C-48) has passed into law, with key provisions coming into effect on June 1, 2024. This legislation significantly enhances consumer data protection rights and mandates more stringent data handling practices for organizations operating within the jurisdiction. TerraFin must ensure full compliance.
Key areas impacted include:
1. **Enhanced Consent Requirements:** Organizations must obtain explicit, granular consent for data collection, processing, and sharing. Implied consent is no longer sufficient for sensitive data. Users must have easy mechanisms to withdraw consent.
2. **Data Minimization:** Companies are now required to collect only the minimum amount of personal data necessary for specified, legitimate purposes. Regular audits of existing data inventories are recommended.
3. **Data Portability Rights:** Individuals have the right to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance.
4. **Breach Notification:** Mandatory notification to the Privacy Oversight Commission and affected individuals within 72 hours of discovering a data breach, where there is a real risk of significant harm.
5. **Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs):** PIAs are now mandatory for systems or projects involving high-risk data processing activities. These assessments must be conducted proactively.
6. **Designated Privacy Officer:** All organizations must appoint a qualified Privacy Officer responsible for overseeing compliance, managing data requests, and acting as the primary contact with the Privacy Oversight Commission.
Legal and IT teams should collaborate closely to review our current data practices, update our privacy policies, and revise our consent management platforms. We need a clear action plan by end of March.
Best regards,
Clara Thorne
