Ep. 19: Shaun Brown on Canada’s new privacy regulations
Using data to make decisions—either by a person or by a machine—has become a big part of our lives over the past couple of decades. Our lawmakers have tried to keep up, but innovation will likely always outpace bureaucracy. And, in a world where most of us have clicked “I have read the terms and conditions” even when we haven’t, the implications of out-of-date privacy laws could become serious.
In November, the federal government introduced the Digital Charter Implementation Act to try to better protect Canadians and their privacy. This update to Canada’s privacy laws is overdue, but will it do what it sets out to? Shaun Brown, lawyer and privacy expert, helps us understand the proposed new laws and what they might mean to you.
