With all the commercialization being done in universities, does this mean that their activities fall under PIPEDA rules? For example, if a researcher is working on a project that is/will-be commercialized, does this make it a commercial venture such that any personal information collected during the research (e.g., that collected during pre-release trials or usability tests) would subject to privacy protections under the act?
