KEPIPEDA… not the most exciting word, but it matters for your child’s data.
It stands for the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, Canada’s law for how private companies collect, use, and share personal information.
And yes, your child’s data counts too. This includes their name, photos you post of them, their location, and how they use apps or games.
So what does that protection actually mean?
👉🏽 Companies must ask for consent
👉🏽 They should clearly explain what they’re collecting and why
👉🏽 They can only collect what’s necessary
👉🏽 They’re expected to keep it safe
If your child’s data is breached, companies must notify you, report to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and keep records of the breach.
And you’re not powerless. You can:
✅ Ask what data was affected
✅ Request access, correction, or deletion
✅ File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Because it’s not just data, it’s your child’s right!
Save this for future reference.
Your girl in privacy,
Kezia
