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 a federal legislation in Canada that lays down the rules for how businesses must handle personal information during their commercial activities. This entails to both keeping such personal data protected and ensuring that individuals have the right to access and correct any personal information that a business holds about them. This explains why "Protects personal information" is correct. Also, 'sensitive information' is a subset of 'personal information' and it includes any personal data that can potentially cause harm, prejudice, or humiliation to an individual in case it's lost, misused, accessed, or disclosed, hence why "Protects sensitive information" is also correct. Lastly, as mentioned earlier, PIPEDA is enacted by the federal government, hence "Is federal legislation" is also correct. Therefore, all the given choices are correct and are encompassed by PIPEDA, making "All of the above" the right answer.
