A cc/bcc email mixup & 100+ years of Canadian democracy is at risk. Well, maybe it's not quite that stark.
But - trust is essential, for democracy and for business.

See my comments in an interview with the CBC.

Canada's proposed new #privacy law (#CPPA) would introduce new consent requirements, along with new exemptions from consent . The impact on business will be significant.
See our latest CPPA: In Depth blog post on #DentonsData. https://t.co/mgM992dWaz

[Kirsten Thompson @CdnInfoLaw]

Canada's proposed new #privacy law #CPPA would require orgs to "dispose" of personal info & de-identified info. Unlike #PIPEDA, anonymization is not an option.
Read about what this means for business as part of our "In Depth" series exploring the CPPA. https://t.co/rymtDcgLAA

[Kirsten Thompson @CdnInfoLaw]

Canada's proposed new #privacy law (CPPA) introduces data mobility - individuals could request their info be shared between organizations. What does this mean for businesses?

Check out the latest #Dentons #Data blog post in our CPPA: In Depth series. https://t.co/4MkCztsSHi

How will Canada's proposed #privacy law (CPPA) treat de-identified information, and how will this impact your business?
Myself and my colleague Luca Lucarini break down "de-identification" in the #CPPA as part of Dentons "In Depth" series of articles . https://t.co/R7L9bnMOAu

2nd reading of Bill C-11 (aka #CPPA)
Summary:
Lib - This will protect #privacy & promote biz!
Cons - Nuh-uh. Will hurt small/medium biz.
NDP - Nuh-uh. It doesn’t take a human rights approach & this Tribunal stuff looks iffy.
Bloc: How will this co-exist w/ Quebec’s Bill-64?

[Kirsten Thompson @CdnInfoLaw]

Part One in our series of deep dives on the provisions of Bill C-11/proposed #CPPA.
In this one, we look at the implications of the proposed treatment of "service providers" and the obligations of those transferring info to them.

Our early analysis of Bill C-11/the proposed Consumer #Privacy Protection Act.
Crushing disappointment: no anonymization carveout, squishy "valid consent" provisions
Enthusiastic cheering: alternatives to consent; creation of a Tribunal #CPPA https://t.co/AmpR4Xw064

Just in time for the new Bill/the New Year/your next budget cycle! https://t.co/1OSmkddOcg

Furiously blogging, writing, etc. about Canada's new privacy bill. Have mixed up #CCPA (the California privacy law) and #CPPA (the Canadian #privacy law) a dozen times already.
It will be easier for everyone if we just tell California to rename their law.
