PIPEDA Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act

Protects personal information
Protects sensitive information
Is federal legislation
All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is designed to protect personal information held by private sector organizations in Canada. It establishes guidelines for how these organizations should collect, use, and disclose personal information in a manner that is respectful of individuals' privacy rights. This means that the act encompasses not only the protection of personal information but also sensitive information, which is a subset of personal data that requires additional safeguards due to its nature. Furthermore, PIPEDA is indeed federal legislation, meaning it applies across Canada and is enforced by federal authorities, providing a consistent framework for protecting personal information regardless of the province or territory. Therefore, recognizing that PIPEDA protects both personal and sensitive information and is established as federal legislation, it is accurate to conclude that the correct answer encompasses all these aspects.
