    Does PIPEDA apply to Universities
    Does PIPEDA apply to universities in Canada?

    I am continually warned that all my actions are monitored. Can I request to see this information? Presumably they will not comply, what then? My understanding is that PIPEDA doesn’t actually institute any penalties.

    Short answer is no (unless the operations are commercial).
