Canada is entering a pivotal moment in its digital journey. With the Digital Charter Implementation Act (DCIA) and the proposed Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA) gaining traction, it’s no longer just privacy professionals who need to pay attention—every organization that collects, stores, or processes data should be preparing for change.
At Orgpyur Data Guard AI, we believe the Digital Charter is not just regulatory reform—it’s an opportunity to reset how businesses build trust in the digital economy.
📜 What Is the Digital Charter?
Originally introduced to modernize Canada’s privacy landscape, the Digital Charter outlines 10 guiding principles that prioritize individual rights, data portability, algorithmic transparency, and corporate accountability.
The DCIA includes two major legislative pieces:
- The CPPA: To replace PIPEDA and give consumers more control over their data
- The AIDA (Artificial Intelligence and Data Act): To regulate high-impact AI systems and ensure fairness in automated decision-making
This is a foundational shift—especially for companies working with personal data or using AI in operations.
🔍 What Changes Are Coming?
If passed, the CPPA will introduce:
- Explicit consent models
- Data mobility rights (portability)
- Transparency around algorithms
- Heavy fines for non-compliance (up to $25 million or 5% of global revenue)
- A new enforcement tribunal with real oversight power
The AIDA adds another layer of accountability, requiring organizations to assess and mitigate risks related to AI-based decision systems.
💡 Our POV at Orgpyur
Too often, privacy is treated as a checkbox. We disagree.
