Source--ComputerWorld: "Next month, Canada will enact a law that offers
sweeping privacy protections for its citizens. But the law may also create
legal obligations and data management problems for potentially thousands of
businesses that exchange data with firms and subsidiaries in Canada, the
U.S.'s largest trading partner. On Jan. 1, Canada's Personal Information
Protection and Electronic Documents Act becomes law, requiring businesses to
offer Canadian citizens certain guarantees regarding the collection and use
of personal data. For example, they must get a customer's consent before
sharing data with affiliates or commercial partners and must provide access
to that data for review."
