In our 2012 remarks, we suggested related-party tracking and reporting of data flows, a do-not-track list, and privacy impact assessments for social networks and other businesses before they launch major services using personal information. In our recent submission to the OPC on the question of interpreting consent in the online context, we suggested the implementation of standard privacy preferences and a trustmark system.
We urge the committee to consider these forward-looking questions on how to support the present PIPEDA informed consent standard, as Canadians grapple day-to-day with the consequences of targeted marketing and big data.
We thank you for your attention, and we look forward to your questions.
