Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), introduced in the Alberta Legislature in May 2003 as Bill 44, is a private sector privacy law that applies to private sector organizations, including corporations, unincorporated associations, trade unions, partnerships, and individuals and non-profit organizations (in connection with their commercial activities). It came into effect on January 1, 2004.

Since then, Alberta’s PIPA has been amended to ensure that the law continues addressing emerging digital data privacy challenges.

The primary purpose of the law is to govern the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by organizations for ‘reasonable’ purposes while ensuring the rights of individuals to have their personal information protected. PIPA emphasizes the term “reasonable” to encourage organizations to undertake measures appropriate in terms of scale and circumstances.
