Impactful Policy Frameworks
Canadian Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA) (Proposed, Bill C-27, 2022)
Bill C-27 proposes the Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA), replacing parts of PIPEDA, with enhanced rules for personal data collection, use, and disclosure, and new enforcement powers for the Privacy Commissioner.
This policy will require RIWI to re-evaluate and strengthen its data handling practices, consent mechanisms, and transparency to ensure compliance and avoid significant penalties.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) (Proposed, Bill C-27, 2022)
Part of Bill C-27, the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) aims to regulate high-impact AI systems, focusing on responsible development and deployment to mitigate risks and promote innovation.
AIDA will necessitate RIWI to implement robust risk assessment frameworks and transparency measures for its AI-powered platform to comply with the new regulations and maintain ethical standards.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Canada's Adequacy Status, 2023 Review)
While not a new policy, Canada's adequacy status under GDPR is subject to ongoing review, with recent discussions in 2023 emphasizing continued alignment and the need for robust data protection frameworks.
Maintaining GDPR compliance for its global operations is paramount for RIWI, requiring continuous monitoring of evolving interpretations and ensuring its privacy-by-design approach meets international standards.
